Increase my chance of "Files" transfer success?
#transfer
Assuming that the groups transfer process gets going again, I'm curious if there's anything that I can do to maximize the possibility that our "Files" repository makes the trip.? I saw at least one post suggesting that putting all of the files in the top level (i.e. directly in "Files") was the way to go. We make use of lots of sub-folders (sometimes several levels deep), so moving our files around could prove to be painful if it isn't likely to help.? Can anyone who knows better than I do offer any words of wisdom?
Also, does anyone know if a "do-over" of the "Files" transfer can be attempted later if the original attempt fails? -Don |

Re: Second fail in YahooGroups
Scott,
Yesterday a member of Y!GMF complained that no email was going through her groups, but that posting via the site still worked. I replied by email, received the pending notice by email, and approved by email and that all worked. However, there's been no activity since. So... Hm... A test post by email hasn't come through yet, but it is only a few minutes so far. Notably the web interface seems to be responding much more quickly than had been the case. Shal |

Re: Transfer
Tim, the invite has to come from your YG list...
KEN "It has always seemed strange to me," said Doc. "The things we admire in men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding and feeling are the concomitants of failure in our system. And those traits we detest, sharpness, greed, acquisitiveness, meanness, egotism and self-interest are the traits of success."

Re: Transfer
Tim,
Ken, thanks, but no, I used the groups.io /_INVITE_/ function - it hasThere'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. Shal |

Re: Bouncing Members
Ruthie,
When checking the email history of the bouncing member, & seeing thatI 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 multipleYes, 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. Shal |

Re: Transfer
Ken, thanks, but no, I used the groups.io INVITE function - it has nothing to do with YG. Also, the transfer process has not begun. And I cannot use PG Offline, since the newest release (compatible with YG) does not run on my operating system. If GIO has halted transfers, that would explain it.

Re: Directroy
Leroy,
If the members email address could be added to the Directory,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 |

Re: What is the "NC" designation
ruthie,
... we have a premium group¡how are we able to ¡°confirm a person¡¯sI 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 Shal |

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. ken clark |
