There is an email integration that could be used...having established this email address you can then subscribe that to your Y!G.

See Admin->Integrations->Email Integration.

Going both ways is pretty risky. You don't want a message to the Y!G to be posted to IO, which then posts back to the Y!G, ad infinitum. I'm told there are message header kludges that will keep this from happening, but it's generally much simpler just to migrate everybody and make a clean break.

Shal,anyone ...

I am a Group Manager for an online discussion group for a very rare form of cancer (Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia).? Our membership thus far is over 2,100 persons (most just provide their email address when they subscribe), from around the world.? I know that Groups.io updated their cookie policy to comply with GDPR.

A good number of our members continue to use their own email client to send and receive postings, however, and don't interact with groups.io much.? In that fashion their email address is visible when they send a message.? Any personal data that they share is done by them knowing that they are doing so willingly.? (I do not use any data for analysis or collect any data thereof.)

Are any measures required from a group owner perspective, or should it just be business as usual?? Have any other group members done anything yet to ensure that their group is compliant with GDPR?? What steps have you taken?

Any help/advice would be much appreciated!

Shal,

? Update - this one group is not the only one.? I have several that are
behaving the same way ... I can look at Photos but I do not have the
New Album button.
? It appears that if I am the owner or a moderator I do not have this
problem.? However, I have many groups that I'm a simple/regular
member of that I -DO- see the New Album button ... so it isn't
simply whether or not I'm an Owner/Moderator.
? And again, for completeness, this happens when I use either
Chrome (my primary browser) or Edge.? I have not tried Firefox
yet.
? Still looking for things to try/a fix.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?- Jim B.

Shal/all,
? I still have a problem with respect to access - with only one group out of?
more than 2 dozen.
? I can post.? I can use files (including adding new files/folders).
? I can not ADD photos or albums to Photos.? In fact I don't even
have the button for "New Album".

? Yes, I have checked with the group owner and I am a full
member with full privileges/rights - and the group does not
have any restrictions about who can update Photos.

? I have tried everything I can think of/has been suggested with respect
to this problem - deleted the alternate Chrome bookmark, eliminated
any?Chrome 'memory', logged out of groups.io (and back in), etc.??

? Do you have any other suggestions other than using some other
browser?? whoops,? I just checked and I have the same problem in Edge.

? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? - Jim B.

Thanks, Duane. We'll try to figure this out.

You might be able to get it to work, but that would be something that you'd have to figure out on your own.? There is no built in mechanism to do it, nor any indication that it is under consideration.? The transfer/copy is a one time process (unless there are major problems.)

People bouncing in the yahoo group at the time of transfer are not transferred.
I sent an invite to all bouncing members after the transfer, I am not sure if anybody bothered, suspicion is no.
Trying to unbounce members is indeed much easier with io, I hardly ever bothered after yahoo's neonizing as it was just too much hassle.

Marina,

it was quite a lot of work to inform all the members of my group before the transfer. We were close to 600. I then deleted the ones of which the mails returned which were quite a few (close to 150). But even after the transfer there were many who ended up in the boucing list of my new group.io (most of them with yahoo-addresses).

Having said this I find it much easier to send a bouncing message to members from the io bouncing list than from yahoo. Had I known this before I wouldn?t have bothered so much about deleting bouncing members before the transfer. Therefore IMO it?s more reasonable to delete them after the "show-down".

Victoria

Dear all,

Is it possible to have a yahoogroup and a copy of it on iogroups (after duplicating the archive, member list and settings) work side by side? Would the iogroup be updated with any new messages from yahoogroups once all data are copied? Could new messages that are written in the iogroup somehow be conveyed to the old yahoogroup?

I've decided to transfer my last YG group (a newsletter) on Groups.io.
This time, though, with the GDPR in mind, I am sending a message to each member to inform them of the forthcoming transfer so that they can unsubscribe before the move, if they wish.
I am getting quite a number of bounces, on account of e-mail addresses no longer valid or aborted delivery (mainly affecting Yahoo accounts). I am not surprised, yet, I am not sure how to deal with all these bounced accounts. I was thinking of unsubscribing them from the YG group, but this is turning out a bit of a job, actually.
Maybe, after informing all members, I should simply move the group and let IO take care of the bouncing accounts (at least putting them in a manageable list)?

Thank you in advance for your help.
Marina

Just something I find helpful is to change the subject line as I have done above.? This thread in particular has wandered quite far from when I first commented on it.

Best,

Glenn

I haven't been here all that long compared to some folks, but this is the first time I've ever heard of a group being transferred that had NONE of the messages come over.

I suggest going back to the transfer page and checking:

-- Whether your source and target group names are correct, and
-- Ensuring that you didn't inadvertently make the selection that the message archive should not be transferred.

It's entirely possible that the transfer agent made a mistake, but I don't want to leave this issue hanging while other group owners are expecting better performance for their own transfers.

Regards,
Bruce

The only way I'm aware of is to download them, resize them, delete the original, and upload again.? The photo will then belong to the person that resized it though.

?When we transferred our group, the owners didn't want to pay for the 10 GB so we transferred the old Yahoo photos at 1024x1024 (or whatever the correct size is) but new email posts and photos can be larger. ?It will take a while for the photos to get close to the 1 GB limit. ?But if it does happen soon, is there a way to resize photos that are posted directly to our .io group after the fact?

Mike Conder

Thank you Shal, Perfect!

Selecting that option took care of it.

Much appreciated.

Did you by any chance change the "Items Per Page" setting on your account?? The default is 20, but by changing it to 50 or higher you can see a lot more on one page.
