Re: Importing Photos to our group #photos

It certainly did, Bruce. ?Thank you.

I¡¯ve got them on my PC hard drive - all I have to do now is to title them and credit the snapper.

On another matter, if I may? ?When composing a message, following a return, the initial letter of the new paragraph does not capitalise. ?Can this be overcome? ?If so, how?

Kind Regards

There is a wiki entry here in GMF on uploading files in bulk:??/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Bulk-File-Upload?. Uploading photos works in essentially the same way...you must first create all the albums and then bulk-upload the corresponding photos into each one.

Whoever does the upload will have "ownership" of them. The group owner can change ownership of any existing photo or file by editing it to reassign ownership to any existing member. This involves selecting the name from a pick-list of all members, so hopefully there won't be too many to choose from. You can also add captions and descriptions and such at that time.

The process is pretty burdensome; but with only 200 photos it's also do-able.

Hope this helps,
Bruce

Look for a blue "Owner" badge on the group's Home button at top left.

If it's missing, you are not logged in with the group owner's account. Try one of your other email addresses.

I can understand why paying $7-10/subscriber might be prohibitive.

We are faced with abandoning message histories on Yahoo dating back a number of years, or looking for a solution other than Groups.io.
If you can export your message base using PGOffline, you may be able to print it to a PDF and upload that to the target group's files area. It won't be indexed or anything, but would still be searchable using Acrobat Reader. All depends on how often subscribers read past posts, which in my experience they rarely do.
?
I'm not aware of any other service that will transfer your message archive for you. You can of course look for other solutions, but it seems to me that this problem will remain.?

Good luck,
Bruce

Are you sure that you're logging in with the account (email address) that you used to set up the group?? Has someone else demoted you from owner/moderator?

In a word, No.? That's why there are verification steps when performing those type of functions.

Re: Yahoo transfer #transfer

 

My PREMIUM level group was transferred this morning. I purchased the annual PREMIUM package, which is an incredibly small price to pay for the transfer.
Re: Yahoo transfer #transfer

Mike Conder
 

I thought a premium subscription only costs $110/year?? I have that in a couple of my groups as our photos were over 1 GB in size.

So for 10 members, that'd only be about $11 each, one time fee.

Why not just export the yahoo grupsstuff to I think it's MBox iles and email them to mark? I did that for a mailman group and everything was seemless, everything but one month, but out of the 15 years, that was not too bad.

Take care

I'm not aware of any other solutions which can copy out the content of your Yahoo Group, so you may be faced with keeping the Yahoo Group open as an archive, as Ilene suggested.

One solution that comes to mind is PG Online, the hosted service version of PG Offline. That wouldn't have been free either, in that you have to pay for hosting your online site. That trades the upfront expense with Groups.io for an ongoing expense, so it may or may not be an acceptable option.

But I don't find PG Online listed on their site, so maybe that fledgling service never made it off the ground. At the least, PG Offline can give you a local copy of your group's content for safe keeping. For that purpose the free trial version is sufficient.

MSG restoration #messages

 

Hello fellow admins,
I did a search first and could not find an answer, So figured I would ask here.

If a fellow moderator accidently deletes a post or a topic, is there a way to restore even though the msg no longer exists in the archive of the ListServ website?

I have a copy of the orig msg but rather than reposting and have it duplicate distro in our next digest, I was curious if there was a more elegant method.

Thanx in advance, Phil sends..
Re: Yahoo transfer #transfer

 

It would be nice to know the reasoning behind the change on GroupIO. I
suspect the case is changes at Yahoo make automating the task of copying the
group impossible. But with manual effort (ie real person time) it can still
be done. So I could understand the change as a way to recoup that working
time. Also the logic behind many groups needing other special help for the
first while further would justify the expense. A statement of details like
that from GroupIO would go far in letting people understand why the change.
Given the right details, I think most people would understand and accept it.
But without concrete details of the why, that leaves some with minimal
justification in their eyes for why. Now I don't have any idea if he would
come out and explain the issues and reasons, but it would help sensible
people understand.

What I would do and have done for one of my groups?is manually invite?the members to join the IO the new IO group.?Or take a premium subscription for one month so you can add the members yourself. Recreate files the best you can in IO, BUT keep the yahoo group and the members in there so they can reference old messages and files if they need to. Disable posting in the Y group too. Ilene

This is terrible news for small groups. I have three Yahoo groups of 10-15 members each waiting to convert from Yahoo to Groups.io. That would now cost us $330, making the conversion cost prohibitive.

Yahoo Group Easy Transfer will be back online Wednesday, but no longer free.

Mark says:
I'm going to make a change in the process however. For new groups
requesting a transfer, I'm going to ask that they pay for a year of
premium up front (they can of course downgrade after that). There are
8 groups that gave the go ahead to transfer between the time that
transfers stopped working and when I took down the transfer page. I
will grandfather them and not require they pay the year of premium.

To minimize difficulty/technicality, you should probably create two groups.? I have two related groups, one social and one technical, for the same subject area.? I have 2 accounts on each, one as owner, the other as a regular member.? I can do all of the management of either using the owner account (same GIO account).

Don't forget that the GMF Wiki pages are public, so you can refer folks to those if they need assistance with certain things (assuming there's a page that covers their need.)

Managing groups

 

Our organization has a couple of projects going and this looks like it may be a way for interested folks to communicate.? Many of them are going to be fairly unsophisticated in communication, which is why I am trying to add a group email list to our Twitter and Facebook efforts (they don't use those SM tools).??

If I have two different projects, should I create two different groups?? Can I manage them with just this one account???
