You could always add them to the Files section before the move (or copy them after) if they're important.? Extra work for you unless you can get the members that submitted them to do it.

Re: Uploading list of members to remove?

No don't think there is, but you can suggest this to the beta group if there is not a way to do this.

I love the idea of a keyboard or a column or what not you can add in the spread sheet.

I never look at or reply to any ntices before I join a group. I just throw them in the trash, so yeah for ?at least the member it's aeditional work as I like I said never look. ?I just assume I'm in and that's ? it.

The group I moderate does this, and if there is a perceived need to do it (or something else akin to it) then a little bit of additional work is unavoidable. If owners or moderators find this little extra work intolerable then perhaps they shouldn't be owners or moderators...

Thank you?Duane for the 'zips won't be copied' note.?That is?sucky for what I wanted. Zips?have been a safety decision for?things like written, tested and released tutorials. Thanks for letting me know not to expect them to be copied and moved. Best to know now for me and my members,?rather than later.

There has been a lot of discussion here and on the beta group about having this capability.? For now, most are using the Pending Subscription message, though it does add a step and a bit more work for owners/moderators.

Re: #suggestion - Auto approval of calendar reminders #suggestion

 

There's no need for them to be moderated if you don't want that.? Just go to the hashtag, probably #cal-reminder, deselect the Moderated box, and Update Hashtag.? I've done this for most of my hashtags.

#suggestion - Auto approval of calendar reminders #suggestion

 

I did a search and found nothing on this topic.

We have a good number of events in the calendar which send out reminders. ?For example everyone's birthday. ?It would be nice to have an option on the owners/moderators calendar settings to by-pass the need for reminders to be moderated. ?By putting it in the calendar it would be "approved" automatically.

Peace,

If you haven't received confirmation that the invite was received, then Y! didn't get it there.? With the way Y! has been acting, I wouldn't trust their logs too much.? I suspect that's one of the reasons that Mark has this included in the transfer flow.

If you see the message, but it hasn't been accepted, that's not a problem, just wait.? Wait time can be up to 3-4 weeks, depending on the backlog.? There was recently a wait time added while Mark was deciding on the message transfer limit.

This is not always the case, I am afraid. I have gone through all the steps and sent an invite to transfer@ several days ago (my YG group activity log confirms that the invite was correctly sent out), but it has not been accepted so far.

I suppose you could characterize it that way and by now it may already being documented that way, but it certainly isn't what I would consider an expected behavior. This certainly bewildered me when I first came across this behavior and I see many more bringing it up here.

I feel I should not have to make my profile public just to view a public profile. So, to me and many others, the Directory is useless. Well, not entirely, as I could also sign up with a "disposable" account to view the Directory.

Re: #directory #directory

 

Hi

I can¡¯t parse out the problem, but you might check out the wiki which talks about directory vs members¡¯ list.

/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Directory-and-Members-List

Frances
#directory #directory

[email protected]
 

I am a new manager, and I am hoping someone can answer a question for me.

A member of my group chose the following profile privacy setting:
Subscription>Group Profile>Edit Group Profile>Profile Privacy>Only group owners & moderators

Then the member tried to view the Directory, and was unable to do so. Instead, she got the following message:
This member directory is only visible to members of your group. In order to view the member directory, you must change your to either Other Members of Your Group, or to Public.

I would think that the member's privacy setting choice would prevent other members from seeing her profile in the Directory. But why would that privacy setting prevent her from seeing the Directory entirely?

FYI - when the member switches the profile privacy setting back to this
Subscription>Group Profile>Edit Group Profile>Profile Privacy>Other members of your group.
then the Directory is viewable again

Thanks so much
Deb
Inviting new members to calendar events

 

Hi, I've been using for a few months now to manage our book club and it's been working really great.

A situation has arisen that I'm not sure how to deal with though. I generally add an event for each meeting to our calendar and send a notification to existing members. I generally like to do that as soon as possible after the last meeting (so I don't forget) but at the moment there is a new member invitation pending so I can't send out the invitation until the new member has accepted. Ideally I would like to set up the event so that the new member will automatically receive the event notification, but I'm pretty sure this isn't possible. A reasonable compromise would be to send the event notification to the existing members, and when the new member joins then manually send him the event notification, but I can't see a way of doing this without resending the event notification to all members. Does anyone have a good workaround?

Thanks,

james

I believe Marie Alline here is doing a lot of Incredimail Stuff in her two groups:

/g/GroupManagersForum/profile/@mariealline

You might want to check with her regarding optimum group settings for this purpose.

Yay. I have put in the transfer requests for all 5 now. Thanks Bruce.
No, my invitations have not been accepted so far. It's ok.

The boxed message will not appear in your group(s). It's on the transfer status page.

If you haven't logged in, do so (see?/static/help#password)
Go to the transfer page at??/yahootransfer
Scroll down to the very bottom.
Look for the "in-process" box at lower right and click in it. A list of groups being transferred should appear.
Select one of your groups.
At the top of the resulting page, look for the boxed message that I mentioned earlier.

If you see the message, all you can do is wait. If that message does not appear, then you must have skipped a step somewhere.

Hope this helps,
Bruce?
