I'm confused by this. I see that I can change my members' email addresses, and that this changes the address for their whole account. But I do not see a way to change my own email address in my subscription settings. Can someone point me in the right direction?

To change your email address, go to your name in the top right corner of one of your groups.

BTW, this thread is about advanced preferences for subscriptions. Not email addresses.

Hello everyone

As you may be aware, Archive.org has some old Yahoogroups archives available, here:


The archives are WARC files, zipped as GZ files. The WARC files are plain text files with records that appear to have been created by a Yahoogroups download script of some kind.

I have written a short AutoIt script that attempts to convert the WARC file to an MBOX-like file that Thunderbird accepts. Dunno, this may be useful for group who want to get access to some of the old message of "sister groups" that dealt with the same or a similar topic.



My script doesn't go further than convert the WARC file to a file that Thunderbird accepts. For example, I believe threading information is contained in the WARC file but my script doesn't attempt to parse it.

It shows 8000+ "results", but many results contain the data from multiple groups.

I'm not sure if there are only 8000 groups or if there are 8000 groups of groups. If I search for a keyword, it says e.g. "2 results", but those 2 results contain the data for 150 groups each.

I'm not sure if all results contain the data for 150 groups or if some results contain the data for fewer groups if they are very large groups. But if the former, then the potential number of groups is 1.2 million.

None of the groups' data that I have seen so far were from takeout requests but rather from download scripts like IgnoredAmbience's. This means that they do not contain full e-mail addresses and they often have character encoding problems.

So for #2, if I choose “auto follow replies” which states I automatically follow conversations I started, what is then the difference if I also select “all messages” versus “Following only”? In other words if either of those 2 is selected in conjunction with me only following conversations I start, won’t I still only get ones related to conversations I start??

If you select "all messages" it automatically deletes the selection "Following Only". You can't have "all messages" and "following only".

You have to select auto-follow replies to get replies from topics that you started or wrote a reply to.?

If you select Following only, you receive only the messages (individually or in digests, depending on your Email Delivery setting) posted to the group that are in topics you are specifically following or that are tagged with one or more hashtags you are specifically following.
i.e. you can choose to follow any or all topics and hashtags you are interested in.

I would opt for New Messages Also.

Is there an option or way to have an event automatically locked after the date has passed?

A member updated an old event as Not Attending and others were removed from the old event Waitlist, and put as Attending and were sent the acceptance email.? This got confusing because there was a similar upcoming event? and they did not read the date.

Thanks,
Charlie

I received 3 messages in my group and rejected them together by clicking the three boxes. I added the reason for rejection and ticked "CC to all moderators"


Then I received the notification about just ONE of the rejections.

Shouldn't I receive a notification about all three?

2. Following means that you can choose to follow future replies to that thread. If you get the email, you can click on Follow in the footer.?

If you have following selected, you can also see the button Follow this topic for the message in your group home page.
(Sorry for the delay - had to test.)
So you would get the first message of each new topic. You can choose to follow future replies to that thread, either from the footer of the email or from the message on your group homepage.

2. Under subscription, under advanced preferences, if I check the box for Auto Follow Replies it says “you automatically follow any topics you start or reply to” which is what I want, but under Message Selection it still requires a choice between “All Messages” and “Following Only” so what would the difference between these two be when “Auto Follow Replies” is checked?

?

3.? If my ultimate goal is to receive messages from topics I start AND receive urgent information from the group.? However is there a way to do that since it says if “special notices” is selected “advanced notices” don’t apply?

1. Yes.?

2. Following means that you can choose to follow future replies to that thread. If you get the email, you can click on Follow in the footer.?

3. If you wish to receive mail from topics you start and urgent, you could rely on "special notices". But likely you will miss some. The owner has to remember (or choose) to send it as special notices. You might like to get the first of all new threads. Select?First Message AlsoIn addition to the topics and hashtags you have selected to follow, the first message of every new topic is also emailed to you.

New to the platform. Love the potential. Still learning.?

Does the platform permit private messages between individuals? I realize yes, if answering a post, But not clear if I can initiate a new topic that is just to a person or few?

At its peak, Y!G had more than 10 million groups. Archive.org shows 8272 group retrievals, many of them several years out of date.?I wouldn't hang my hat on archive.org.

Like groups.io, most of the discussion I'm seeing on the forums.group site revolve around restoration of a user-provided getmydata download from the [now-defunct] Y!G privacy dashboard.

Regards,
Bruce

ADDITIONALLY, this site is connected with the Archive.org group that snagged a majority of active groups last year before the content delete happened. So, in signing up with them and a 1-time fee of $209, you can have everything restored to their system of Files, photos, links, database, etc.

There's no mention of restoring all the messages from any group that
was posted AFTER the Dec 14 Yahoo cutoff date for storing messages, so
the last year's worth of messages would only be available if the
archive group continued gathering the posts from all the groups.

If they continued gathering the posts, then this would be a big bonus,
and then you might be able to pay for that feature, gather all the
messages, then move them to GIO somehow. Or just leave them there then
downgrade to the basic free group.

This would open some new options for people.

Can you tell us where you got that information from?? The only mention of Archive.org that I can find on their site is on the FAQ page:
?

Can I find my Group's Archives at Archive.Org?

Archive.org has been archiving the messages of as many groups as possible. They also joined a lot of YahooGroups in order to obtain the MBox files from Yahoo before they stopped that service. Their work can be downloaded from https://archive.org/details/archiveteam_yahoogroups, although the formats used are not easy to use. We are investigating if we can use these archives to restore YahooGroups.

Cameron,

I'd like to demonstrate the health of our project by pointing to a
graph of our healthy and growing email list, ideally pointing at a
graph of "posts per week".

The closest to that is the Message History table near the bottom of your group's home page. But that's on a per-month basis.

If not, maybe something to think about adding to the next development
sprint. :)

I don't know Groups.io uses any Agile development formalities, but in any case GMF is a user-to-user forum: no one from Groups.io monitors the messages here.

The official suggestion box for Groups.io is the beta group:


The subject of member metrics has come up a time or two before, but I'm not finding a topic that is directly what you're looking for.
