Can't get to my group site

 

AVG is blocking Groups.io.? Says it's a URL:MAL error
Another user with avg has the same problem.

Also getting URL:mal from AVG?


Wiki Search? #notworking

 

Anyone having trouble with the search function in the Wiki? We're getting blank returns most of the time, regardless of the search term. Once in a while a partial return (incomplete) pops back.

Only noticed it earlier today and still problematic.

Paul,

About 2:00PM EST USA when trying to access my groups I got this:

Ah yes, the cat photos. Earlier the site had been entirely offline due to an outage at Groups.io's hosting service. Their other customers' sites were down as well.



I didn't have time then to do any research into this and just got back on line. Now I'm getting blocked by Norton.?

Yup. Quite a few similar reports.

Most likely an unfortunate coincidence with the outage. Probably not a coincidence with the high rate of Y!Group transfers, but that's just a suspicion on my part.
?
Any ideas or can I find out more?
?
Yes, the topic is still taking reports:

Margaret,
...
I very much doubt it is true. There have been other reports in a thread in beta:

More information on phishing malware reports

 

At least one of my users is getting a "phishing site" alert from Norton Internet Security (in addition to the AVG reported earlier). Below are details:

=== Begin Norton report ===

Threat Report
Phishing Attacks
Threats found: 1
Here is a complete list: (for more information about a specific threat, click on the Threat Name below)

Location:
/g/OHRegionB/message/1538

=== End Norton report ===

I wonder if this OHRegionB group might have been migrated from Yahoo recently? I had a hard time notifying all our members of our recent [yesterday's] move since many were set on "no email." Then we had the obfuscated domain name problem that I reported earlier this morning. Throw in the fact that those who tried to reach the site during system maintenance were confronted with a cat photo and it's not too surprising that some of them might freak.

I personally thought the cat photos were amusing, but Mark et al may want to apply more discretion with displaying their whimsy in the future.

Hope this helps,
Bruce Bowman

I'm not planning to hold up any of the three group transfers I'm in line for, I'm sure Mark is working to understand the cause of these reports and correct it. I linked to your posting there so Mark might contact you to get any additional information you might have.

Re: Bug in Groups.io?

 

Rumor has it that Norton is reporting it, too.

My probable scenario:?

-- Yahoo group owner(s) fail to adequately notify his/her members of an upcoming migration (possibly because they were set on "no email").

-- A few of those brave souls click on the link anyway during today's system maintenance. Up pops a cat photo.

-- Panic ensues.

Re: QUESTION RE - CHANGING THE AUTO RESPONSE SETTING ON MESSAGES

 

In the Settings for your group, look for Message Policies. The sixth item listed is Reply To. Change your selection to Sender. Scroll all the way down to the bottom and click Update Group, to save your new setting.

Hope that helps,
Linda


QUESTION RE - CHANGING THE AUTO RESPONSE SETTING ON MESSAGES

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

I am finding the Group Managers Forum extremely difficult to navigate.
?
I am trying to find out if there is a way to change the "apparent" default when someone posts a message to the entire group.
?
Currently, every time a member posts a message to the forum it goes to every member in the group.
?
NO PROBLEM.
?
However, if I want to reply to the sender and click on the reply button and type my response it automatically gets sent back to ALL members of the group.??
?
Is there a way (like we used to be able to set in Yahoo) to have the default set to reply to originator only??
?
Thanks for your help.

Re: After 6 days, still no transfer from yahoogroups

 

Dave,

We're trying, but it's difficult when for 3 1/2 weeks we've been waiting while others get transferred and YG group members ask when is it happening?
?
Three and a half weeks does seem excessive. Maybe there is a problem in your case.

Is there any evidence of a transfer in progress, such as have some of the addresses from the Y!Group appeared in the Groups.io group? Actually, I don't know if it works that way. Mark might collect all of the information from Yahoo before loading it all at once into the Groups.io group.

Anyway, it might be worth sending a follow-up message to the transfer agent, in case the "Go" you sent got lost. After this much time I don't think he'd consider it "nagging". Include a copy of the information from that message and its date/time and the address it was from (if an owner of the Groups.io group other than you).

Re: Your group has been transfered

 

Stan,

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.

Yup. A short message from you heads this topic.

This must be a case where the message never came through because
of my ISP.

There is something up with your ISP, but I don't have a record for that particular message.
Here's what I see in your Email Delivery History page:



You should be able to see the same (or similar) information through the tab on your
Subscription page.
