Betreff: Re: [GMF] Disable invitation text

?

Victoria,

I wrote a German invitation text, but it shows up in the midst of the preset English text. Is it possible to disable the English invitation text?

?

My solution is to put my text inside of horizontal lines:

Salutation,

In the body I put all the information and links I think they'll need to decide whether to join, and to join. Basically I treat this area as if it were the whole message and the boilerplate wasn't there.

If you have any questions, let me know.

Yours
Myname
My personal email address

I think that helps draw the eye to the change between boilerplate and custom text, sort of giving the eye permission to ignore the boilerplate.

Re: Number of Groups.io Members

 

Duane,

I was looking over my groups this morning and found there was a new
member from yesterday with a posterid of 1,630,540!
Zowie!

But the number of listed groups has only increased to 4747. So either some big unlisted groups, or an average group size of 3600 for the new ones. Or some combination more likely.

Re: Do Pending Members transfer from YGroups?

 

No. My group just got transferred yesterday (one week after the request was sent), and one (and only) pending member wasn't transferred.

Mark has said, "We can't offer that service at this time. Sorry."

I'd report that to [email protected] right away.? Seems like there may be a serious problem.

Re: Your group has been transfered

 

The subject of this group matches the title I gave my message I sent two days ago. If your message is motivated by the message I sent, then it was released to the group but I never received the email. This has happened once before where I know for sure my message was released but I never got a copy. I'm only saying this because sometimes I never know if it is Yahoo or my ISP. I get a spam digest from my ISP and never saw my message there. This must be a case where the message never came through because of my ISP. It will probably eventually make it because sometimes I get a message 5 days or longer after it was sent (by me or someone else in my YG).

All 143 members were transferred except one who was marked as bouncing. Files and messages were transferred. We lost about a third of our photos. I tried to download a bunch of photos earlier this week and experienced a lot of problems (http 500 server errors), so that was not surprising.

All in all, I'm quite pleased.

Re: Nifty new Y!Groups transfer form

 

Shal,
Thanks for pointing out the revised instruction form. I never would have thought of rechecking to see if any changes had been made when I get ready to move my other group over.

Wow!

I was about to send an invite to the transfer agent for three groups, when I decided to re-check the instructions to be sure I hadn't missed anything.

Glad I did.

By some coincidence the instruction page has been updated, and now you start the process by clicking a button and filling in a form. This side-steps all the problems with trying to use Y!Groups Invite mechanism (which some report is working now...).

One of the key advantages is that the application to transfer is tied to your Groups.io login from the outset, which means an immediate acknowledgement by your email address here, again side-stepping the sometimes problematic Y!Groups -owner email address.

You enter the Y!Group name on the form, and select the Groups.io group from a drop-list of your groups. So that makes that easier. A bunch of checkboxes for what you want to transfer, and whether you want an automatic notice to the copied members at the end. This has got to be saving Mark oodles of time - hopefully far more than it took to create it.
/yahootransfer

Astonishingly, one of the three groups got the notification from Yahoo that the transfer agent had joined the group within a couple hours of filling in the form (the other two still waiting). So that group has given the "Go" (again on the form) and waits for its turn to transfer, while the other two wait for the agent to join.

Very nice.

Anyone know the answer to this? I was also wondering.
Thanks, Mindy
Re: Your group has been transfered

 

Ditto here for a small group of 62. We had no photos and the files transferred perfect. Now on to our larger group.

Just a note on photos, I've not been able to see them or my header in Verizon/Yahoo groups for the last couple of days.?

Obfuscated Domain in transfer message

 

We got transferred yesterday afternoon. Unfortunately, the transfer message that people are receiving has a server IP address instead of the groups.io domain...see below.

>> The owner of the ias-indy Yahoo Group has moved the group to Groups.io, a new Groups service.
>> You have been subscribed to the new group using your email address <redacted>. The title of the
>> new group is Indiana Astronomical Society, and messages can be sent to it at?
>> . The group homepage is located?.

This is causing some members to unsub from the group. Can anyone explain why this would happen?

Re: Banned members

 

Go to Admin > Members and select Banned from the drop down list at the top, then use the checkbox to select the person and click Unban from the Actions box below.? This won't add them back in, but will allow them to apply for membership.

Another data point.? In about 12 hours from the time noted on the previous member, the latest posterid that I've seen has jumped by almost 6,000 to 1,636,112 for someone that joined at 6:09 CST/12:09 GMT this morning.? Wow!

When I want the normal situation (member back) how to do this ?
Number of Groups.io Members

 

I was looking over my groups this morning and found there was a new member from yesterday with a posterid of 1,630,540!? Just 3 days ago, Shal mentioned seeing one just over 700k.? Looks like lots of new users are being added, fairly quickly.? Yes, it's trivia, but thought some might be interested.? If anyone else notices a sizable jump, please update this thread.

The 'fixed' text can't be changed or moved.? You could suggest on beta@ that you be allowed to move your text above the boilerplate or at least just below the "Hello [Name],".

Re: Number of Group Members doesn't match between home page and directory

 

I finally found a group with few enough members, and with the discrepancy, where I could compare 1:1.? Seems that anyone that is bouncing (red or blue) or that is NC doesn't show in the Directory.
