In our case it has been the member's ISP 95% of the time.

On searching for Freecycle Groups, I see some folks are now using "FreCycle"

If she marks in as Not Spam yahoo mail should automatically move it to their in-box.
As I have a yahoo e-mail account which I use for only certain mail: Ex from family or from my doctor's and at first they were getting marked as spam and moved to that folder.
After marking them as not spam I have had no further issues other than the occasional new messages that would get marked as spam.

This from Mark on beta...

Groups.io has received letters from a law firm apparently representing the Freecycle trademark holder in the UK, stating that a particular group with freecycle in the name is infringing on their trademark. I have not yet asked that group?to change their name, but I may have to. To head off any new issues, no more groups with freecycle in their name. Note, I have no idea if the demand is legally valid or not.

The above is part of .

Even if there were such a facility it wouldn't tell you very much

Most of our local Freecycle groups have switched to groups.io with no problems; all have the word "freecycle" in the group name.? Most of us transferred from running our groups on Yahoo, having left the Freecycle.org fold long ago.

Anyone know how much of a queue there is now (and how long a wait) to have messages uploaded to a Premium group?

I wouldn't think there's much, if any, of a line.? One thing I noticed in Mark's message is "I ask that people put their archive on a file sharing service, like Dropbox, and then send a link to that to support, because sending large files over email, especially to the CRM system I use for support, does not work very well."? Maybe there was a problem with the files you attached?

Anyone know how much of a queue there is now (and how long a wait) to have messages uploaded to a Premium group?

I upgraded a group (created 2020-01-14) to Premium ($220 payment) on 2020-10-15.
(Upgrade confirmed in Billing section with 2020-10-15 renewal date)

I emailed <[email protected]> Fri 2020-01-16 6:09pm EDT to upload 2 zip files of messages (attached)
my YahooGroups GetMyData download, and 2019-12-29 to 2020-10-15 message in (we think) mboxrd ) format.
(message receipt confirmed "Your request (15549) has been received and is being reviewed by our support staff.")

Members are getting restless waiting for the messages upload to use Groups.io instead of YahooGroups...

I just replied to confirmation messages asking:
"Please advise where we are in the queue (and when) to have our archived messages uploaded to <group name>"

Thanks,
Michael

I only had to change the group title; I was able to leave the email intact

Based on a quick test, if either contains the word freecycle, it will report it as an invalid group name.? I'll post it as a #bug on beta and see what happens.

Thank you?Duane- modifying the word Freecycle solved the issue.?

Iris -- See?/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/8127?for consequences of changing the group email address.

Duane -- Yikes. I just did a search for "freecycle" and the engine found 80 groups. This may become a recurring issue.

That seems to me to be 2 different issues.

Someone else is now having a problem creating a group with Freecycle in the name/email, /g/GroupManagersForum/topic/77694487? As I stated over there, I think it's Freecycle.org that has gummed up the works, so reporting it as a #bug on the beta group may get an explanation.

I get the error in the image below

Someone else recently had a problem with a group name that contained the word Freecycle, /g/GroupManagersForum/topic/77489327.? I wonder if Freecycle.org complained to Mark and he doesn't allow it in group names any more?? It would work for existing groups unless you try to change something, as you're doing.? That's the only thing I can think of.? The other group changed to Phreecycle to get around it.? I'd post it as a #bug on the beta group and hope Mark responds with what's going on.? (I had a similar thing happen when I was on BigTent for awhile, they discontinued allowing a hyphen in group names, so it gave me an error when I tried to make changes on an existing group with one.)

I believe that says that there's a configuration error at the well.com site.? Internal connections aren't being made properly when GIO sends an email.
