Thanks. Tried each of those, including re-trying Arial. Not in that or Courier
New. It is in Tahoma. I don't have Segoe UI. This is in XP.

I sent a private message to each member of the Yahoo group I am having transferred. I got 14 'Delivery Failure' and 'Undeliverable:' messages back. If my actual membership is only reduced by 14 that is not bad at all. What I need to know is this. If I keep these 14 as part of the membership that Support will be transferring to Groups.io, will it cause a problem with the transfer? I do not understand most of what is said in these messages and so I don't want to start deleting members and then discover it was a temporary inability to deliver a message.

The Yahoo invitations never did go through, but I asked
Mark about the old Yahoo request membership link. Mark
was able to get 'transfer' onto those groups using that
and the group transfers were set in motion that way.

Curious. How did Mark gain Moderator privileges in the
Y!G without an owner's intervention?

The problem was not getting 'transfer' moderator privileges. The problem was getting 'transfer' onto the Yahoo group in the first place. The invitation process simply wasn't working. Working from the other direction, the request to join got through and the owner was able to approve and promote 'transfer'.

Dear all,

I need help and it must be step-by-step instructions. Metaphors and directions which do not say how to do something explicitly do me no good.

Once per week would drive me nuts. I’d make a mailbox rule to delete that before I saw it. It would take me about two weeks to decide to never see that again.

>> I want it to be in their faces, but not more than once a week to annoy the people too much that do actually use the guidelines.?

Food for thought: Is once a week even going to change the behavior of those you say don't bother saving what you request and save? And is a constant reminder to those people that DO follow the guidelines NOT going to annoy them, regardless of the frequency?

You apparently have strict guidelines for the behavior in your group. That's fine. Lay out what the guidelines are when a member joins. They will either a.) understand and abide by them, or b.) "seem to think that it does not apply to them" and ignore them. In the opinion of the management team in our group, that's what moderators are for. A reminder to the offending party to either 'shape up or ship out' is sent, pointing out that the guidelines are in place for a reason. Yes, there were some members of our group (when it was on Y!G) that made issue with some of the guidelines that were established and they insisted their way was better, or the rules were stupid (without necessarily knowing the background of the rule), but our answer was always 'But it's Gary's group, so he gets to set the rules.' Gary has, sadly, passed on, and a group of us have taken up the continuance of his group and while we may tweak things a little (like moving it to GRIO) we still maintain that idea that 99% of the members want to behave and will and the other 1% won't no matter how much we want them to; don't punish the 99% for the sins of the 1%. And membership is strictly voluntary: don't like our guidelines and rules, start your own group.

Your group may be different, but that's our experience.

Thank you, Duane. I am already on All Owner mails.

Where is it?

o In the list of pages on the left click "Directory"

You can also just click on the member's display name under any post or post preview (this saves having to click on the message itself, and then on "more")

Checked several of them:

- their individual activity history says "set display name via email";
- they have no log entries indicating that they ever sent any emails.

If you haven't already, go to Admin > Upgrade (Billing on a Premium group) and click on the link for [View Attachments].? I had some mysterious (to me) space usage in a non-attachment group and it turned out to be Calendar invitations.? I deleted those by editing the posts where they appeared and the space freed up.

Thanks for all the input. I'll just go ahead and delete the discussions.
The duration feature seems intriguing.

Marina,

I haven't been able to find the "All Posts by This Member".
Where is it?

o In the list of pages on the left click "Directory"
o Find the member of interest (if listed), click on his/her entry
o Click on the "All Posts By This Member" link
(in the block of info beside his/her image)

Or,

In the More menu under one of the person's messages.

Don,

My group has 4 moderators. Is there an easy way by looking at a
message to determine who approved / moderated the message?

As Duane and J have said, not from the message itself.

Some time ago I mentioned in beta that I thought it would be a good feature, but that was buried in another topic.


I don't know if you had in mind something similar, or something exposed (only to moderators?) through the web presentation of the Messages.

Sharon,

Transferred messages stay in order by date but appear to be
renumbered.
...
This isn’t a problem for us but I am preparing to transfer a number of
lists for one organization and need to be able to explain the logic of
this.

The messages are assigned the next available number as they are copied over. There is generally no correspondence between the message numbers in the Yahoo Group and in the Groups.io group.

So, messages that were posted in the Groups.io group before or during the transfer, and messages that were deleted from the Yahoo Group both serve to prevent the copied messages from retaining their Yahoo Group numbering.
