Re: subscription proceedings
Victoria,
For the First:? There may not be much, if anything, that you can do about that [spam] notice.? It's probably a function of the email service used to receive messages, though it could be something in the email client.? Some people have found that changing the wording of the message helps.? Also increasing the text to link ratio.? Mark did a lot of tweaking with the standard emails to reduce the chances of it happening to most people. Second:? The NC next to the member name means they haven't confirmed that email address with the Groups.io site.? Once they click on the link in the email that was sent to confirm it, the NC will go away.? If their status doesn't change in a few days, you have the option at the bottom of their member detail page to Send Confirmation Email again, in case it got 'lost'.? Each person only has to confirm once per email address for the entire site, so this will only happen if they've never used Groups.io before.

Re: Can transferring files be done separately?
#files
Shal,
Thank you for that information!? It gives me hope that we may be able to transfer our photos. My 750-member group had a smooth migration from Yahoo Group?to Groups.io about two weeks ago in all but one respect: only about 20% of our several hundred photos transferred over.? The transfer report from GIO said this was due to problems at Yahoo.? The photos are still up on the Yahoo version of the group, and I've been stressing over how to move 'em lock-stock-and-barrel over to the new group on Groups.io. Would you say it's likely that a second try following your directions has a good shot at getting more photos properly moved, or is that more likely to move the same photos and get the same error message from Groups.io? After 15 years on Yahoo Groups our group's moderators and members are finding life at Groups.io like a breath of fresh air.? Imagine, a groups platform that actually works like a well-oiled machine!? Who'd have thunk it?? ?Kudos to Mark and his team at GIO on the great job they've done! Thanks, Milt Baker, Nordhavn Owners Group |

subscription proceedings
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýHello, ? I have two more questions concerning subscription proceedings: ? First: After a would be member has signed up she/he qutomatically gets the questionnaire via member notice. This works fine now. But the questionnaire has (spam) in front of the subject, the header looking like this: ? ------------------------------------------------ ? ------------------------------------------------ ? Second: As owner of the group I now get the following message: -------------------------------------------- Email pending member ?applied to join your group [email protected]. Because the group is restricted, you will need to approve their subscription before they can join. To approve this member via email, simply reply to this message. To reject this member via email, forward this message to: NOTE: The pending subscription will expire after 14 days. If you do not take action within that time, the pending subscription will be automatically rejected. Thank you for choosing Groups.io Groups. Cheers, ----------------------------------------------- I then clicked on¡±view the pending member¡±, then clicked on the check box next to the pending and chose ¡°approve¡±. I get the message: --------------------------------------------- ? This is to notify you that email pending member has joined your group [email protected]. ? To turn off this notification, log into and edit your subscription. ? Thank you for choosing Groups.io groups. ? Cheers, ? The Groups.io Team ----------------------------------------- ? Please tell me what I am doing wrong. Must I confirm twice?? ? Victoria ? ? ? |

Re: Photo Album Ownership And Control
#membership
I have a lot of albums transferred from Yahoo! Groups, which seem to have reverted to Personal access but I can't see the owner. I am laboriously changing these to Group, so members can add photos. How do you see the owner of a Personal album, after entering Edit Album?
I would like to be able to see the settings without entering each album, in a list format. Regards John Russell |

Re: What's going on here?

Just a comment regarding messages with hashtags. When I transferred over my largest group I found a number of messages with hashtags. That group had never used hashtags. BUT there were several members who used the number sign in subject lines such as "Old #9", which groups.io interpreted as hashtags. Note that hashtags go at the end of a subject so the subject lines were also garbled. I searched for them and found probably a dozen messages with the problem. I was able to edit the subject line to change "#" to "no.", "number" or similar and the problem went away along with making those subject lines comprehensible again. I just toss this out as experience for others who may run into this. Dano ----- Original Message -----
Figured out the answer -- to all my questions. The group is still transferring 18 years of posts, which is allowing lots of photos, files, display settings, etc., to get linked to their proper members. The latest post in the activity log ias number 113554, and it's dated April, '14, so we've got a ways to go. We thought the transfer was complete 3 days ago and it's not. Dave |

Re: 2 questions-use of 10g storage & number of subscribers
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýThanks, Duane. It DOES look like it is moving now.? I just couldn¡¯t believe that for three days the number that left and the new ones coming in equaled 1920.? Thanks for the reply.

you should not have to save a document you already uploaded If you have a default application set up in your browser for specific file types, the application should open with the file loaded.? About the only file types I can think of that usually don't need to be specifically set up are TXT and PDF.? Nearly anything else will require you to download so you can open it in the application of your choice on your computer.

Re: Problem with Norton
Hi,
? I use Norton (Symantec Endpoint Protection 14.0) and have no problems. My email client is usually Thunderbird.? My ISP for email is small and not one of?the "main stream" - they use readily available email spam services that tend to be a bit behind the big names. ? I am guessing that the real problem is the email services that allow their users to report spam/undesirable emails ... and accept it as a legitimate report 'the first time' (i.e. without any sanity check). ?

Re: Uploading files to Groups.io
#howtoguide
Thank you Shal for your response.? The screen print you show is what I had, I was uploading "Browse..."? it uploaded no problem.? However, when I clicked on the name of the document in your screen shot, it went back to where it came from and you should not have to save a document you already uploaded from the same place. As for getting the Transfer agent to transfer, nada, I asked them a couple of times and then got the response that they could not transfer.? So now I am left with trying to figure out how I can get the crucial info for the members done before I even consider further documents/file uploads.? I do have a fair amount of computer knowledge but not programming stuff and it is programming that doesn't seem to be working with Groups I think.? Same with Yahoo perhaps? Thanks for your assistance.? Cheers, Lola. Lola Radnoti Creative Memories Independent Advisor 6 Goonaroo Street COOMA? NSW ?2630 ?AUSTRALIA?

Re: Uploading files to Groups.io
#howtoguide
Lola,
Hello, I am new to Groups.io and have tried to transfer our group from Yahoo with no luck.? I have been trying to upload files to the "Files" section of Groups.io and find that it will upload but when the link is clicked it attempts to go to my computer to locate the file?? It is probably prompting you to download the file to your computer. Depending on file type, and the browser and its settings the file might not open directly in the browser but require it to be downloaded to your computer first. ?How can I get the file to remain on the Server, in other words copy it to the Server from which other members of the group can access? If the file is showing in the group's lists of files, with its name as a link, then it is stored at Groups.io, and your other members can access it from the file list. See below: I did ask the Groups.io support but they referred me to this group.? I did raise this question here a week or so ago but have not found a response. Hmm, I don't see any other postings from you in this group, perhaps there's a different "here", or you used a different email address to log in? No matter, hopefully this clears things up for you. As an aside, why not have the transfer agent copy your Y!Group''s files directly into your Groups.io group so that you don't need to upload them?

Re: Problem with Norton
I have always refused to use Norton because it takes over control of your computer.? Everyone who I have come in contact with using Norton have ditched it.? There are plenty of other Anti-virus, Firewall programs out there that do the job just as well if not better without trying to take control.? I only had it for a few minutes because the person uploading a program for me didn't pay attention and didn't uncheck the box asking if you wanted Norton to be installed.
The first time I tried to do something Norton didn't like it tried to block me so I killed it and went back to my previous trusty program and didn't look back. I have had many systems since but SOPHOS and Avast appear, to me at least the best at the moment.? There are free and paid versions of course of both. That's my "newbie's" penny's worth, new to this group but not computers, etc. Cheers. Lola. |
