Linda,

Once I give the go ahead to transfer my group, what notices will be
sent to my group and when?

There are two: "You have been added ..." sent by Groups.io, and a Welcome type of Member Notice sent by your group.

Do I prepare these notices or are they standard notices Mark sends
out? Can they be edited?

The one sent by Groups.io is standard. You can't edit it but you can omit it by unchecking the bottom checkbox in the list of things to transfer. There's an example, the second message shown here:
/g/GroupManagersForum/message/5497

The one sent by your group is it's Welcome message, if you have one marked as Active. Some samples posted here:
/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Welcome-Message-for-Yahoo-Group-transfer

See also:
/g/GroupManagersForum/topic/14617965

That page is linked from the transfer advice page (under construction):
/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Transfer-from-Yahoo-Groups

Can the invite notice be edited for all invite notices?

In the Member Notice page of your group you can have one or more versions of the Invite text you may want to use. The one marked Active will be pre-filled in the Customize Message box on the Invite page.

But as you discovered, that only controls the included portion of the message; you cannot alter the rest of the message. What I do is make my included content complete unto itself:
/g/GroupManagersForum/message/5779

On my home page, instead of my member scrolling down to the join this
group button, can I just do a link further up to say click on here to
join now.

Interesting question. You probably can; see the Promote page for the things you can put in other web pages, maybe that can be adapted for home page use.

If I have a member on moderation and I reject their posting and give
them the reason why, is that message or my reply saved anywhere on the
group

It is recorded in the Moderator Activity log. I thought it a bit peculiar that the log entry includes the text of my reply, but better there than it not being anywhere.

or do I need to send the e-mail from my e-mail account to keep a
record of it?

The reject page has checkboxes to bcc the message to yourself or to all the moderators (self included). I normally use the latter.

I started the process of creating a group just this morning. It still says "archives", not "messages". I saw nothing called "visibility", possibly because when I wrote this message I hadn't completed the process of creating the group. I see visibility under settings now, which of course wasn't available before creating the group.

I did a further search in the archives / messages of this list and found a post of yours from Feb 27 that said private would allow members, but not non-members, to view files, so that's what I picked.

Holly,

What I want is what I have on Yahoo: a publicly listed group with
members having access to ... old messages ... but people who are not
group members cannot view the ... old messages,

Under Visibility choose "Group listed in directory, private messages". That's in the Privacy section of your group's Settings page.

Note that you'll be warned that once you make your messages private you cannot later make them public again. That is true with Yahoo Groups as well.

but people who are not group members cannot view the files (photos,
text files, etc).

The access controls for other areas of your group are further down the Settings page, in the Features section. Of those only the Wiki and the Calendar can be given public (non-member) read-only access. Chats, Database, Files, and Photos cannot be made available to non-members.

Is this considered "private" or "public"? I would have thought it
would be private, but the wording is ambiguous - a publicly listed
group with public archives might mean either that non-members can see
the archives or that archives are available only to members.

I don't see how that's ambiguous, but in any case the wording there has recently been changed, replacing "archives" with "messages" for greater clarity on the scope of the control.

I’m in the midst of moving from a house my family has lived in for 3 generations. It has put me in a horrible mood that I am trying to direct to a good purpose by nagging about something for the good of the forum.

Please put thought into topic titles. This morning's digest has a couple of topic labels that reveal nothing about the topic. Some of us, including this old crab, only follow topics that apply to our groups. When you label a topic with something "odd questions."? That means crabby people get even crabbier because they have to look at topics that may not interest them.

Good topic labels are clearly not a big deal, but one of those tiny things that make life more pleasant. I admit that I sometimes am guilty of not thinking enough about topic subjects, and for that I apologize.

That being said, the helpfulness and level of discussion in this forum is exceptionally good and the content is great, which makes informative topic labels even more important.

Best, Marv

Testing out my new group. I have a member who tried to create a new file folder. When he hovered above the "Create Folder" button he told me a STOP circle appeared over the "Create Folder" button. Is there some permissions I don't have set properly?

Thanks, I got that wrong, did not see a way... (Not needed now.)
Another problem MIGHT be "old stuff" in the archives.
Indexing is really slick here...
Rick

Thanks.
As I am just in the process of transferring my Yahoo group to a virgin website, I will wait to see if the situation comes up in the new group.?

I hope this is not a bug.

You can rename a group any time you want.? It's not advisable to do so because it confuses people and their email client.? It's when you delete a group that you can't reuse the name unless you can get it freed up by contacting support.

I've begun creating a group so I can move a group I own from Yahoo. I'm unclear on the archive privacy options, and searches haven't clarified the choices.

What I want is what I have on Yahoo: a publicly listed group with members having access to all files for the group, but people who are not group members cannot view the files (photos, text files, old messages, etc).

Is this considered "private" or "public"? I would have thought it would be private, but the wording is ambiguous - a publicly listed group with public archives might mean either that non-members can see the archives or that archives are available only to members.

Thanks for help with this newbie question!

Holly

Another person wanted to do something similar and the reply he got from Mark was, "We can't offer that service at this time. Sorry." /g/GroupManagersForum/topic/10765567

Can a group be transferred to a subgroup of an existing group both within Groups.io? I know you can go from Yahoo to io subgroups, but what about io main to io subgroup?

Basically, yes.

in the UK and we're a members' group (choir) and charity, not a private individual.

If the list is "owned" by the charity, or is an official organ of the
charity, then full compliance is required. If the list is owned by an
individual, then some aspects might be dropped. This is what the court
cases will be about.

I am not a lawyer. This is not legal advice.

I've just gone through the same situation with a user not receiving emails. After verifying that the emails weren't in spam or junk folders and that there was no bouncing going on, I changed the user's email delivery to "No Email", saved that and then put it back to what it was and saved that and now the emails are now flowing.

You could give that a try.

Once I give the go ahead to transfer my group, what notices will be sent to my group and when?? Do I prepare these notices or are they standard notices Mark sends out? Can they be edited?

Can the invite notice be edited for all invite notices?? I tried to edit it and wasn't able to but I was able to add more information in the box below.? The invite is signed "Cheers,The Groups.io Team".? Can I change that to Thanks for your support, Linda Perry to personalize it.

Make sure you're in the subgroup.? Use the Settings page, scroll all the way to the bottom, and select Delete Group on the right.? You'll need to confirm it, of course.? You can verify that you're in the subgroup settings page by looking at the Group Email Address near the top of the page, along with the breadcrumb in the top title bar.

Are there any known issues using rss links in the integration feature?? Just added one (that should be generating lots of hits, I did it on purpose), but not seeing any messages from it.
