Yes, exactly. An archive of all messages . For example if you search for skypeenglish you will see the messages going from I think 2006 to 2018 those are the message archives.

I am confused by the use of the term 'Archives'. One individual in my YG is against the move to IO because, among other things, it would require him learning how to access the 'archives.' Maybe it is because I am not a power user, but I do not see any so called 'Archives' in the YG website. The name has also been used here, but I do not see anything in choices and settings of IO that says 'Archives.' What are we referring to when others say 'Archives'? Are they referring just to all the messages going back to the start of the group (in the case of a transfer, the start of the YG) listed in the Messages choice? If so, is the problem of learning how to access the 'Archives' just how to find the messages one is interested in?

Stan,

Why are we all continually being moderated?

That's answered in GMF's guidelines.

I created four subgroups. I think what would be desirable is to color code the messages with a different color for each subgroup, with something like a hashtag that would be fixed at the beginning of each message, something like #Ast. I thought making a hashtag required in settings would do it, but it does not. It forces each member to add a hashtag which would be an inconvenience for them, plus I have it set up so only I can add hashtags. Is there anyway to automatically color code the messages in a subgroup?
Stan

I doubt the moderators will let this message go through and so I will be surprised if it does.

Why are we all continually being moderated? In the groups I run and probably in those others run a new member is taken out of moderation status after a few posts. Here, we are continually being moderated which I do not like at all. The members of this list are high quality people who have a lot of skills and knowledge just by virtue of the fact that they are creating discussion groups. Instead, we are being treated like children who might throw a tantrum and have to be continually watched. I find this very offensive. When I first joined this group one responder to a question treated me like I was a dummy. We obviously had a personality conflict. When I tried to defend myself I did it very politely and did not attack this individual in any manner whatsoever, but my message was not approved. The moderator said he regretted he had not watched the other person more closely, but I was the one who was targeted. Now, again, as part of the frivolity on a topic within the past day, my post was not approved. There was absolutely nothing offensive about it. I just added to the frivolity. Yet my post was not approved but the other person's post, which my post was based on, was approved.

I find this continual moderation very offensive. We are adults. If someone gets out of line or too far off topic, all a moderator has to do is remind the group to stay on topic, not continually moderate each and every message all of us send which, I think, is very biased. I could point to posts showing it is biased.

True, but in my experience, most people simply say "Our Yahoo group..." :-)

Cheers.

Since we are on the subject, in the process of exploring the group I sent a bunch of messages that I deleted. They are gone but in the Activity list, under Admin, a reference to each one is still there and I see no way of deleting them. This list could grow to be a very large file of nothing. How can I delete these references?

Marcia,

What's the deal with having to sign up again every 30 days?

You sign up only once (per email address). The Sign Up link is one way to create an account (and optionally set a password) so that you can log into the site.

Having signed up you can log in. Your login session lasts 30 days, or until you log out or you delete your browser cookies.

Can only receive email, but can't get to files and photos?

Files, Photos and most areas of a group are for group members only. You must be signed in to Groups.io to identify yourself as a member of the group.

Yahoo Groups group is no easier than Groups.io groups to me.

Don

Hi,

New member here. About to move our small neighborhood YG to groups.io.?

If I invite all our users at their YG email addresses, but they opt to change them?before a message transfer completes (there seems to be an understandable backlog), have we lost any ability to map them to their old messages? Or will there be some other mechanism for linking them later?

Is my only option to not invite folks until after the message transfer completes (or just opt for a user+message transfer)?

Thanks!

Dumb question. I just discovered that if I click on 'Members' under Settings there is an option to download and it downloads the members in the exact form I want.
Stan

In the 'Directory' I see members listed in icon form. Is it possible to list members in a single line form, like in Yahoo, where a line is a member which contains things like their email address, mail settings, and other things separated by commas? This big box like list is cumbersome to use and I don't see where I can quickly copy all members and either store them in a separate file or print them out in a form like Yahoo provides.
Stan

I have just started a group on groups.io and I have a couple of questions.

Deleting messages seems to be an issue.? ?You can click on the little arrow and get the option to delete that one message only.?
Is it possible to have the option to 'check-all' and hit a delete button?? It's very time consuming doing one at a time.
I would like to be able to check them all and delete them when I have time.? All these messages go to each member so I see
no need to keep them after a week or so.

Thanks much

Loopy C.

Our former Yahoo group has been successfully moved onto IO, what an improvement!!! The only bug is a few messages are archived in 1996, our group didn't start until September 1998, as I want to keep the group net and tidy is there any way of "moving" these messages

Part of the problem maybe that on the Yahoo site none of the months in 1998 have active hyperlinks?

Any suggestions please?

Thanks

One thing I'm struggling with as we migrate...how to cleanly advertise this on our web page and in our newsletter?

The groups.io logo is nondescript at best, and doesn't invite anyone to click on it. In web text and emails, it's very clumsy to repeatedly refer to the migrated group as "our new collaboration site". Calling it "our groups.io group" doesn't exactly roll off the tongue, either.

I'd be interested to hear what others are doing to mitigate this problem.

Is there a back log or delay on getting a group transferred over to IO?

If not is there a email address we can write to and see if a problem has occurred?

Thanks

Joe

It was great when CCs were stripped. I hate that competitors' groups are "advertised". ?
