Re: Bug? Spontaneous Drafts???
Bruce, Gmail does this, at least mine does. ?I have a bunch of blank emails in drafts. And it¡¯s happened to me a few times here. ?If you¡¯re talking about digests, I haven¡¯t a clue, but for posting from the group- and in Gmail- it doesn¡¯t seem to be that big a deal. ?I just delete them when I get around to it.?

Re: my yahoo group was transferred, but nothing seems to be happening. What am I missing
#access
Probably simple human factors rather than anything technical. Our group went quiet for a few days post-transfer. We spent a lot of time pre transfer trying to keep folk aware of what was happening, but it was a little odd. As well as Jeremy's comments on the Y! side, try sending a special notice to the group (this overrides most email subscription settings) asking them to simply reply to that one message. And/or contact your normally most active members with a direct message askibg then to confirm. You should also be checking the group activity, and in particular the email delivery history. Y! used to get away with a lot of stuff simply by being an 800lb gorilla, GIO are at pains to play by the rules for email which can have consequences for some email addresses.? Also, we've found that quite a few members changed their email addresses over the years on Y! without necessarily removing the old addresses, or rejoined the group with a new id 'cos they forgot the old one etc., all of which have been carried over to GIO. Looking at the email delivery history, and members with bouncing email can be quite enlightening...

Droxine, You've probably seen many of the references to PG offline. From your comments I think you have a use case beyond just backing up the Y! group (search etc), but in any case; PGO (subject to Yahoo not melting) would give you a second copy of your group, and if both GIO and the PGO download report the same messages then you can be fairly certain you're getting everything Y! is prepared to let you have. Worth a $25?punt, to be honest. As mentioned, Y! have not had a stellar record over the years, it is quite possible they've lost records here and there. Mark & co. can only work with what they're given, after all, so if the transfer glitched or Y! have lost records, game over. Y! themselves give you an option to download all if your group data, but from reports here it's a bit hit and miss, takes some time to be available and it's not clear if it'll still be possible after the 14th, but you could at least make the request.

Re: Upload ownership if that person leaves?
Thank you Bruce. So that could be a way of being able to reassign ownership of files which currently cannot be achieved in a manual transfer by the group owner. Create a dummy temporary account, uploads their group's files using the dummy, close the subscription of the dummy and assigns file ownership as the true owners subscribe.

Droxine,
At the end of the Easy Group Transfer process, you should receive a summary email that includes a list of items that were not able to be transferred. Did it say anything about how many messages could not be transferred? There was another report recently that had a substantial discrepancy between messages on the Yahoo group and messages that were seen on GIO. That turned out to be an error in reading the number of messages on GIO. The user was looking? at the number of Topics instead of the number of messages. When I transferred a group a while back, I also noticed a discrepancy in the number of messages, but there was no indication of missing messages in the summary email. I went back and started comparing the Yahoo and GIO messages to see what had happened. It didn't take me long to realize that there were quite a few messages that had been deleted over time and that the highest message number on Yahoo was not a representative count of the actual total number of messages. It may be worth your time to take a couple months and do an actual comparison to see if there really are missing messages, or if the "deleted" messages likely make up the discrepancy in numbering. -- Gerald |

Did all messages migrate from Yahoo?
#migration

Hello all,
Newbie here.? Just transferred my group from Yahoo.? Thanks Mark and everyone involved for all your hard work at this stressful time!? So, as Mark is swamped at the mo, he advised me to put my question/s to you kind folks.? I didn't find anything on help or wiki.?? Following the transfer, Mark advised that he had trouble migrating the links due to a yahoo glitch, and I'm having to do those manually.? I went to the group's new home here to see if the messages had all transferred (if the number of messages were about the same), and discovered that the number of my last (most recent) post/message in the new/io group is , whereas, in the old (yahoo) group it is labeled #8537. I might expect a small discrepancy, if I had to delete a message or two (in yahoo group) due to human error here and? _______ |
Re: download entire directory
Hi all, It's a good idea to say FROM WHERE?? are you talking about trying to download "an entire directory of files" from yahoo group?? from groups.io group?? We all tend to assume everyone knows exactly what we're wondering about, but it helps to say it!? thanks, Gesine |

I assume you have ?Allow Attachments ticked in Admin, Settings, Message Formatting. There is also a query about stripping out HTML messages.
