Theo,
Almost. There's the No Email option for a hashtag, which prevents messages from being sent out by email, yet they are still recorded in the Messages section. The trouble is that if you put a hashtag with that option on your original announcement then it won't be emailed either; but if you don't the hashtag won't be on the replies. If you don't mind moderating all of the replies you might be able to add such a hashtag when the reply arrives in the Pending list. I'm not sure that would actually work, so it might be worth testing in a . You would of course also have to un-check Announcement Group in the Spam Control section of the group's Settings page; and probably check Moderated instead so that all of the replies are held pending. Oh yes, and in Message Policies set Reply To to Group. --- A sneakier way to do it might be to set all of the members' subscriptions Advanced Preferences to Following Only with First Message Also checked (maybe, or maybe not, also Auto Follow Replies). This way the members would receive each announcement (being a first message in a topic) but none of the replies. The only downside I can think of is that those settings are under the member's control - a member could change it so that he/she does receive the replies. And of course you also have to un-check Announcement Group in the Spam Control section of the group's Settings page; but this way you (probably) don't need to check Moderated (maybe use New Users Moderated instead), and in Message Policies set Reply To to Group. -- Help: /static/help More Help: /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki Even More Help: Search button at the top of Messages list |

#howto
We have an announcement group with replies currently sent to moderators only. What we would really like to do is capture any replies and keep them somewhere on our group board so that any and all members may view all the replies. We would like to do this without all the replies being sent back out to the group. Is there a way of handling replies in this manner with the wonderful groups.io? |

Re: Yahoo Group Transfer Status
#transfer
Dan, So, here's the question -- can conversations/emails from Yahoo groups still be transferred at all??? If there's any known reason why they couldn't you would likely be alerted to that fact by a red notice on the Yahoo Easy Transfer instructions page. It has been a long time since I transferred any groups, so a testimonial from me would be obsolete.

Re: 'bounces'
Anita, The CSV file is too difficult to read and sort (for me). It is a lot easier to deal with if you load it into Excel or a similar program, so that the data is separated into rows and columns. Shal - on the members' page, how do I find the 'red' and 'blue' designations? To see just the members whose email address is on bouncing status, use the drop-menu on the Members page (red arrow) to select the Bouncing list.: Those members will also appear in the normal Members list, with their red and blue B badges, but they may be widely separated among non-bouncing members.

Re: Yahoo Group Transfer Status
#transfer
Dan,
?
What is the current state of the Yahoo! groups transfer feature?? is it available or not ... ?
Looks available to me. What makes you think it might not be?
If you haven't see: /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Transfer-from-Yahoo-Groups
?
?
and if not what options are there for less technical folks? ?
Just Invite or Direct Add your Yahoo Group members.
Also, manually upload any content (Files, Photos) you want in your Groups.io group. Shal

Free 1 GB question ?
#subscription
Hi all!
Quick question(s): if your group is on the ¡°free¡± plan, what happens when you reach the 1 GB limit (unlikely as that sounds [!])? ?If you WANT to stay on the free plan, would you have to delete certain (I would imagine it would be past topics/discussions) in order to free up more space (that is IF you don¡¯t want to partake in any of the paid plans/subscriptions)? Thanks in advance! |

Re: 'bounces'
Anita, I'd like to track the postings to my members (BREX) that bounce. Maybe generate a list? The messages? That's an interesting idea. You can of course look in your group's Members page for a list of the addresses (members) that have met the criteria for the Bouncing (blue B) or Bounced (red B) status. If that's not possible, then I'd like to know how to get a count. I'm not entirely certain how one would go about this. I think you'd have to visit each member's subscription page and collect the list of Recent Bounces. Totaling the number of entries in those lists will give you some kind of measure, but it is uncertain due to the word "Recent". You might want to try and correlate which messages bounced when sent to which members; but I suspect that would turn out to be random. In your experience, are the bounces consistent: once bounced? aways bounce? No. Email services reject message delivery for many different reasons. Some of the reasons are more or less permanent (that email address has been closed), others are explicitly transient (I'm too busy right now, try again later). The explicitly transient ones Groups.io handles automatically by retrying the delivery of that message to that member later. But eventually Groups.io will give up on those retries, and then it becomes recorded as a "bounce".
