Very helpful, Duane. ?I will suggest on beta and, very likely over the next few weeks, get a script or program written. I'll also report back here once/if done so if anyone in the future has the same question, they'll know a member that went through it. ?Always game to pay forward.

Big thanks!

I'm stuck.
I cannot seem to figure out how to delete specific photos from my group.? Can someone detail the path to do that.? Guys in 2 other groups also have asked about this so I figured someone here knows the answer/path.

Many thanks
Bill

One thing that is not in the document that Bruce Bowman posted is that some email servers can eat spam.
Comcast, Earthlink, Mindspring and probably other email servers have settings that delete detected spam instead of setting it aside in the spam folder. The user has to turn that setting off in the webmail interface.

Yes, the banner appears for anyone that has been bounced.? BTW, anyone is welcome to post messages on this group.? You don't have to be an owner/mod.

Bruce,

Mr Hayes must be an owner or a moderator to have posted this here.? If he were simply a member, would the banner appear on the web interface for them also?

Any ideas?

Yes, one or more of the 6 statements are incorrect for some reason or other. I vote for spam as the first choice. Just because he is not unsubscribed does not mean that the emails from GIO are not going to his spam folder.

You can also go to the member's email Activity list and see what it says for the latest email success/failure. That might give you other clues as to what is happening.

I think he needs to check his spam folder.

It's not one of the integrations available.? I had a quick look at their site and you might be able to get someone to write a custom script for it to at least create a file for adding members easily.? Possibly for removing members as well.

Along that line, you could also have someone create a program using the GIO API to interface between them.

You could also post a #suggestion on the beta group to have an integration added.

Just a point - I guess you know that direct add is not available to basic (free) groups.

Barry,

With Bruce's steps above, I'm not sure I understand what the Column A
is? "Container"--so what specifically should be in that column?

It is to contain the combined elements of each member's name & address, in the form:

"display name" <user @ example.com>

(Ignore the spaces around the @ sign, that's for the benefit of people reading this message on GMF's web pages. Here and below.)

My current xls ... has just three columns: A: Last name, B: First
name and C: email address

For your purpose you could create a column D (or any unused column) containing this expression in each row:

=CONCATENATE("""",$B1," ",$A1,""" <",$C1,">")

If you enter that in row 1, then copy/paste it to the rest of the rows Excel will automatically update the row number appropriately.

If the last name and first name name columns contain no special punctuation characters you could dispense with the "quotes" around the display name field. Comma is a common punctuation mark that would require the use of quotes. For example your list might have an entry like:

A: Lastname, MD
B: Dr. Firstname
C: user @ example.com

My expression would build:

D: "Dr. Firstname Lastname, MD" <user @ example.com>

Column B: Display name is two columns (last name, first name) so not
sure what goes here.

Yahoo exported the display name as a single column, unlike your format. You can ignore this.

Column D: the delivery option would be fine but not essential for us.
Wasn't sure the "Column G" reference or what, specifically, was meant
by "keyword"

Again, information from Yahoo (the member's Email Delivery setting) which you can ignore.

... I'm just hoping that I may have missed a clear checklist or guide
on how to upload a list of members for direct add when already in
excel in a three column format as described.

In my example you would copy column D and paste that into the box on the Direct Add page.

Direct Add does not accept Excel or csv formats, only plain text. So you'd need to export only column D into a plain text file if you'd prefer to upload from a file rather than use cut and paste.

Hi, again with apologies if this is somewhere in the message threads or wiki (did searches but no luck), but does groups.io offer integration support for the membership software "aMember Professional". ?URL is below but I'm guessing this integration may already exist since aMember has been around a long time and is in fairly wide usage with non profits and other membership based groups to organize member data, transact membership fee joins and renewals and the like. ?

We use aMember for one of my groups and I'm keen to figure out if I can set up our aMember database to automatically direct add any new member in that database to our listserv here?

Thank you!

I have an excel list of about 75 group members I need to direct add to my premium group. ?

The excel data didn't come from a Yahoo group. ?I looked at the Wiki with guidance on how to do a mass add like this from an excel file but got a bit tripped up because it seems to be written from the perspective of moving a group from Yahoo to GIO as so many were doing last year. ? Also found a threat in which Bruce shared some steps he'd taken but then that had some correction in responses to his and, well, I'm just looking for clear guidance on whatever steps so I can do this without trial and error. ?In the message thread here on GMF, Bruce's steps include these:

"These are the steps I used to prepare a text file suitable for upload into the “Direct Add” member subscription function.

1.????? Export the Y! member list to csv format. (Yahoo will only export the first 1000 members – there are?other options?if your group has more than 1000 members.)
2.????? Open in Excel
3.????? Insert a new “Column A” to contain the text string “Direct Add” expects.??
4.????? Insert a new “Column D” to contain a translation of the “Delivery” field to the keyword expected by “Direct Add”
5.????? In my case, this resulted in a spreadsheet format as follows:?
Column A: container for “Direct Add” lines
Column B: The Display Name from Yahoo
Column C: The email address from Yahoo
Column D: container for the “Delivery” option converted from Column G to the keyword “Direct Add” expects
Column E: Joined date from Yahoo – not used"

?

With the above, my current xls (easy enough to convert that to a csv as/if necessary) has just three columns: ?A: ?Last name, B: First name and C: email address

?

With Bruce's steps above, I'm not sure I understand what the Column A is? ?"Container"--so what specifically should be in that column?

Column B: ?Display name is two columns (last name, first name) so not sure what goes here.

Column D: the delivery option would be fine but not essential for us. ?Wasn't sure the "Column G" reference or what, specifically, was meant by "keyword"

?

Bottom line, I'm just hoping that I may have missed a clear checklist or guide on how to upload a list of members for direct add when already in excel in a three column format as described. ?Is that guidance on here somewhere more clearly and maybe I just missed it?

?

Thank you!

Unfortunate, to say the least.

No.

Is there any way of recovering them?

Go online to , log in, and you should see a red banner with a link to unbounce your account. Click it/proceed as instructed.

Having done so, at that point you can go to each group's message archive and catch up with what you've missed online. Subsequent posts will be delivered to you via email as before.

Regards,

or can this be a future enhancement?

Feature requests should be posted to the beta group () with a #suggestion hashtag.
