Duane,

?I thought (and hoped) that was the way it worked, but was proven wrong.? It's a total of # approvals, regardless of rejections/deletions.

Please send that result to [email protected] as a bug - it stands in contradiction to the text on the Settings page:



Note the word "consecutive".

The person who does the transfers (and a whole lot more) has been on vacation this week. Consequently, there is a backlog. I would not expect it to happen until sometime next week. Once initiated, the process should go very quickly, depending on how many files are to be transferred.

I am owner of a Yahoo Group that has nearly 600 members. We want to move the group here. I have joined Groups.io, created a group and am following the steps to have the group transferred to this site.

How long will this process take? I sent the invitation to the transfer email several days ago.

Thanks,

Paula


Re: Search Results

 

Hashtags work fine in private groups, but only members can see the messages, as intended.

This seems only to work if a group is public. It doesn¡¯t work when archives are private.

Re: Yahoo Groups Transfer Timeframe

 

Thanks all for the information!? Very helpful.

Given the (now understandable) delay and the issues our group is having communicating on the Yahoo Group, I went ahead and sent out invitations to the new Groups.io group. ?

If I understand correctly based on reading elsewhere in this forum, when the Yahoo Group transfer finally happens, it shouldn't impact those already signed up at Groups.io.? Am I correct?

Thanks,

- Pete

It seems that our new members _may_ not be removed from moderation and having trouble finding out if they have sent more than 2 messages yet. I can¡¯t search on email addresses since the email addresses are hidden. We have 20 Jessica¡¯s. And not everyone signs their last name.
I don't know if this applies to your situation, but...

...to be removed from "new-user moderation,"?consecutive messages must be approved by the moderators. If any are rejected/deleted, the countdown starts over.?

If you can find a single message, pull down the More menu at bottom right and select "All Posts by this Member." You should also be able to find posts in their Activity History.

Yes. Go to Admin->Settings and click on the "Member Notices" button at the top of the page. Create a new notice of type "Pending Subscription" and make it active. This message will now be sent instead of the canned version that groups.io uses by default.

Hope this helps,

Re: Mail Delivery Issue w/ Comcast/Outlook

The cause was the Junk Email setting in Outlook. It was set to block all countries in the International tab, including IO which is British Indian Ocean Territory. Group.io ends in ¡°io¡± so it was being treated as such.

I have a Comcast/Outlook mail delivery. While Comcast has a Spam folder, Outlook has a "Junk E-mail" folder which works like a Spam folder. Have your user check the Outlook "Junk E-mail" folder.

If so, does that constitute "rejoining" this one?
You managed to post, so you must still be subscribed. In exactly what way does your membership need to be updated? Did you recently change email addresses or something like that?

how can I edit messages?

 
Edited

We have two groups and in one this is the header at the top of a message:

and in the other group this is the header:
The settings appear to be the same in both groups and my privileges are also the same in both.? One group allows me to edit the messages and the other doesn't.? What am I missing?

Kinda handy. I might put it in the wiki.

Re: Hashtags

 

I don't let subscribers create hashtags lest things get out of control. They way I see it, flagging everything as important is the same as flagging nothing as important, only noisier.
Many of my members feel the same way and have asked me not to tell anyone about them.

Now for owners and moderators, you can use them to automatically restrict topic duration, put topics on moderated status from the outset, etc. I've found such things useful for system notices, general administrative messages, etc. Bright colors, if selected, make such notices stand out in the topics display page. I encourage you to give this particular aspect of hashtags a test drive.
At the point where someone discovers them and wants to use them, I think they would be more useful than threads by subject line ¡ª which can be helpful too. And certainly useful for the things you mention.

Can the moderator edit hashtags to consolidate them? If I change #minutes2000¡± to #minutes will the #minutes2000 be changed to #minutes on the messages where it was used. I do think hashtags are only helpful in broad subject areas ¡ª not things like #dogwalkerneededSunday

Hello All

I am in the process of switching my yahoo groups to groups.io and I realize that I have a lot to learn.? I love the many options we have as owners.
I know that my question might sound stupid to some, but what for and when would I use Hashtags?

Change the initial "Thank you for your interest..." email

 

Greetings,

Is there access to the initial email text (the one that starts "Thank you for your interest")?so it can be changed to meet who we use the system?

Thanks,

Thank you, I¡¯ve made the changes. So much to learn in groups io, but all of it is better than before!

Now if I could figure out how to stop Yahoo from sending our outdated guidelines, lol.
