Tim, the invite has to come from your YG list...

men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding and feeling

sharpness, greed, acquisitiveness, meanness, egotism and self-interest are

Hi Leroy,

I'm new to groups.io but over in recently moved from yahoo group I"ve been encouraging members to use the Directory to

1-upload their photo

2-add their person blog info or web site info

3-tell a little about themselves

And we are enjoying it.

I just wanted to share.

Tim,

Ken, thanks, but no, I used the groups.io /_INVITE_/ function - it has
nothing to do with YG.

There's your problem.

You're supposed to Invite the transfer agent to your Y!Group. It doesn't need to be a member of your Groups.io group. But it does need moderator privilege in your Y!Group.

Ruthie,

When checking the email history of the bouncing member, & seeing that
recent messages have been successfully delivered, how can I reactivate
this member as a regular member?

I don't think you can directly reactivate them. But you can send a "bounce probe" - a notice to the member which will remove them from bouncing (blue or red) status if the member responds to the notice. Use the Actions menu at the bottom of the list, or click on the member's row and click on the button at the bottom of their page.

That said, the system is designed so that you generally don't need to do anything about these members - reactivating them is automatic, if they respond at all to the automatic bounce probes, and removing them is completely optional.

Also at what point should i consider a member “dead”, after multiple
bounce probes & no change with their email delivery?

Yes, as J said, that's what the change from blue to red B status signifies: Groups.io has exhausted its attempts to get a response from the member.

One advantage of sending a message direct from your email, as Paul suggested, is that a direct message may be less likely to land in the member's Spam folder. But I understand with that many members bouncing why you find that impractical.

With a group of that size I think I would either:

1) Ignore bouncing members unless one asks for help. Then send them a bounce probe and also send a message from my email telling them to go look for the probe notice.

Or

2) Simply remove all members that have gone to red status.

Myself I generally choose (1) because I see no need for me to spend any extra effort on dead email addresses.

Ken, thanks, but no, I used the groups.io INVITE function - it has nothing to do with YG.

Leroy,

If the members email address could be added to the Directory,
useless could become helpful!

If you want members to be able to look up each other's email address, make the Members list itself visible to members. That's the Members Visible option in the Privacy section of the group's Settings page.

Shal

ruthie,

... we have a premium group…how are we able to “confirm a person’s
email address”? we can confirm membership, yes, but not sure what u
mean?

I don't have that situation, but perhaps this is the answer: in a premium group approving a pending membership also confirms the email address:
/g/GroupManagersForum/message/3192

If your YG list won't invite [email protected]?to be a member,? then it is a YG thing, To prevent an exodus?

Since groups.io has temporarily halted YG list transfers, then It may be that groups.io does not want transfer at groups.io
to join any more YG lists.

Consider trying?PG Offline - Download Yahoo Groups, Messages, Files and Photos. to save what you can.

I suspect you might be able to get partial backups at least;? it seems the problem is with YG files being corrupted
which will stop typical copy and verify backups.

I set my group to announcements by mistake and now I cant figure out how to change this.

Thanks

I just tried this as well for my group BBFCL to transfer to groups.io and I get the same error message! I'm following the instructions to the letter.

That is up to the person. If they have not replied to said email sent out by to confirm the email address it will remain as suck probably for good. I wonder if you could remove those or resend the invites etc?

Okay, so I've created a database for my group. I want the members to be able to go in and add their names to certain rows, that I've already put in. I do not want them to be able to edit the table nor do I want them to be able to add rows.
So, under "View Table" I've selected "Members"
"Edit Table" I've selected "Moderators and Table Owner"
"Add Rows" I've selected "Moderators and Table Owner"
"Edit Rows" I've selected "members"

But none of my members can see the "View/Edit rows" button at the bottom. The only way they can edit the rows is if I allow them to Edit the table too. Is this a glitch that needs to be reported, or am I missing something?

Thank you all so much this group is so helpful and I am super appreciative,
Tiffany

Yep, you're right I see it aaaaaalllllllll the way down there. Would be nice if it could be immediately following my message. Oh well.
Thanks!

Let's think about this for a minute.? As more and more folks get frustrated with Yahoogroups, and more come over to groups.io, the queue for migrating will grow accordingly.? As mentioned below, because of Yahoogroups captcha process, it can't be automated, so you need to be patient.? When I transferred my first group, it was done within a couple of hours.? I transferred another group (much larger) about a week or so ago and it took a few days.? And, between the time the first transferred and the second, Yahoogroups started giving problems with files/photo transfers.? My larger group got no files at all - so I literally had to go over to yahoogroups, download all the files to my computer, and then upload them to the groups.io group.? In the process of doing that, I discovered a LOT of hiccups/problems over at Yahoogroups with ME accessing my own files, so clearly there is more to this can of worms than meets the eye.

Patience - I don't work for groups.io, but I certainly understand "demand" and also limitations on time and personnel resources.? I'm sure SOME of the yahoogroups are migrating to googlegroups or something else.? But, I'm also sure that some of the less-active groups are simply dying off due to lack of participation.? Email isn't exactly something that the current generation uses as much as some of us older folks.

Yes, you can mute hashtags: /g/GroupManagersForum/message/120? They can also be muted by using the link at the bottom of an email, /static/help#hashtags see the Uses > Muting section.
