If you go to yahoo groups you can see the banner above a group image

An owner of a Yahoo Group that I'm a member of recently posted this as notice of his intent to migrate to groups.io:



Summarizing, Y!G seems to be converting entirely to a mailing list service, eliminating their online resources (file/photo storage, polls, calendaring, etc). Even the message archives will be eliminated.

If legitimate, I expect a lot of folks will be wanting to transfer soon.

FYI,
Bruce

After receiving an email in an email client on a cellphone or computer the following happens. If I click Reply to Group at the bottom of the email next to View Online the reply removes the email content. It also removes all prior replies in the thread.

However if I click Reply to All from my email client the content is maintained. Is there a way to change this so the content does not get removed?

There will also be an X or blank if the picture was a link to a picture on the web somewhere and it is no longer available. Ray

Please inform the Y!GMF group:


If you're seeing blank squares where your images should be, welcome to the crowd. This has happened many times over the last few years. In the past these incidents resolved over time and the photos reappeared. Whether that will hold true this time I can't guess.

Some messages earlier in GMF indicate that the problem also affects the Easy Group Transfer agent's ability to copy a Yahoo Group's photos as well.

Sometime ago I created a basic free group here but never did anything with it. Now I want to change it to a subscription model the lowest cost one. How can I do this? I need to pay for one year before they will move my group over to this service. Can someone please tell me how I can do this? Thank you Ray Knapp

Judi,

THAT DOES NOT WORK FOR ME. If you figure out how to download a photo,
please inform the group.

Strommarkttreffen,

There server needs 2min to process emails but the groups.io server
times out after 1min. Is there any possibility to set the timeout of
groups.io to 2min?

Only [email protected] can help you with this.

Two minutes, inside an SMTP transaction? That sounds tremendously broken. This organization should fix their mail server.

Even greylisting, as awful as that is, is a better anti-spam approach than this, if that's what they are trying to do.

Su,

Can two Yahoo groups archives be transferred into one Groups.io group?

Yes, just transfer one then the other.

The messages will get distinct ranges of message numbers, with the second transfer beginning at a higher number than the last message of the first.

That doesn't matter for most purposes as the sort for display of messages and topics is based on the date - which copies with each message from the Yahoo Group. However when viewing a message there are < (Previous) and > (Next) buttons which go in numeric order. There is no way to renumber the messages.

Avraham,

When more than 12 messages and replies are sent to the
Group, more than one Digest seems to be automatically
created and sent. Is there any way to modify this? Can we
expand the number of messages per digest?

There is no control for that.

Is there a way to make the *Daily Summary* more useful by hypertexting
each post so that each message could be opened, one at a time, from
this Daily list?

It links to each topic.

To get links to each individual message choose the Full Featured Digest instead of the Summary. But then you have the max of 12 messages per digest.

Is there a way to add a "create a new post" link at the top of the
Digest and Daily Summary pages and/or at the bottom of each message?

Only in the way you found, by adding it into the group customized section of the footer. Did you want it to open the user's email interface to create the new topic (a mailto: link, like the Reply To Sender and Reply To Group links)? Or did you want it to take them to the group's New Topic page (an https: link, like the View/Reply Online link)?

Is there a way to re-label the “Unsubscribe” link at the bottom to
“Change Email Preferences/Unsubscribe” since the Unsubscribe button
actually links to a preference page already?

There is no control for that.

For things that you think would be general improvements to Groups.io you can post to the beta group - that's the official "suggestion box".

Judi,

The easiest way if you don't want to transfer your group (you would need to pay for 1 year for a transfer) the easiest way might be to post a message on YahooGroup. It really depends on how many people there are in your groups.

If it is a smallish group, you can invite members.
See?/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Inviting-new-members

I hope you finished setting up your group - see?/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Quick-Start-for-Group-Formation

If you wanted to transfer, see?/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Transfer-from-Yahoo-Groups

Note from Yahoo:

Yahoo has announced that they are not going to allow users to upload content the the groups.? Beginning October 21, 2019.? We have until December 14, 2019 to save ALL our posts, photos, etc. before Yahoo removes them.? Read below. ?

Understand what's changing in Yahoo Groups

Yahoo has made the decision to no longer allow users to upload content to the Yahoo Groups site. Beginning October 21, you won't be able to upload any more content to the site, and as of December 14 all previously posted content on the site will be permanently removed. You'll have until that date to save anything you've uploaded.

• Files
• Polls
• Links
• Photos
• Folders
• Calendar
• Database
• Attachments
• Conversations
• Email Updates
• Message Digest
• Message History

The Yahoo Groups site will continue to exist, however, all public groups will be made private or restricted. Any new group members will need to request an invite or be invited by an admin. Admins will still be able to manage various group settings, though some functionality will be limited.

On October 21st, you will no longer be able to upload any content to the site. To share info with members of your groups, you'll continue to be able to do so via email.

right from the Yahoo Groups site, or you can?.

You'll still be able to communicate with your groups via email and search for private groups on the site. In addition, admins will continue to have limited access to group settings and administration tools.

That’s about it, group.? I suggest if you want to save any files or photos,? you do that now.?

??? Download a photo:? You SHOULD be able to download a photo by hovering your mouse over the photo and using the download icon (right bottom corner) to download.? THAT DOES NOT WORK FOR ME.? If you figure out how to download a photo, please inform the group.

?

??? Download a file:? Go to the Files section and left click on the file and then navigate to where you want to save the file.

Thank you so much.
Got answers for the following so far:

(1) In the "settings" section, there is an option to allow "reply to sender." We had to enable it.
(2) The "summary" might solve the problem since users will only receive one message per day. Question: Is there a way to force send a digest/summary? Also, is there a place that we can set what time the summary is distributed each day?
(3) We added a footer with information about how to create a new post.

Logically, one is a subgroup of the other, but we no longer actively use the subgroup. I am wondering if it is possible to combine the archives together by transferring one and then the other to the same GIO group.

Thanks,
Su

I just opened a new group.
I am having trouble finding out where I can send a message to my 2 Yahoo groups to invite them to come here.
I read help but still need help.

Hi,
We recently completed our beta testing of Groups.IO. We tested without about 150 people over the course of the summer, and then migrated a list of ~7,500 people over earlier this month. In general, it's an awesome platform! However, once we made the change to the broader audience, we have received a lot of feedback that we did not encounter/consider in the beta-testing phase. I am hoping this community can help with some challenges (listed below), and I thank you all very much in advance!

Multiple Digests:
Many of our members have expressed frustration with receiving multiple digests on the same day. The current default setting of “Full Feature Digest ” compiles up to 12 messages together and then sends them as one Digest email. When more than 12 messages and replies are sent to the Group, more than one Digest seems to be automatically created and sent. Is there any way to modify this? Can we expand the number of messages per digest?

Reply to Individual:
Is there a way to include a "reply to individual" link at the bottom of each message (next to "Reply to Group")?

Daily Summary
Is there a way to make the?Daily Summary?more useful by hypertexting each post so that each message could be opened, one at a time, from this Daily list?

Create New Post
Is there a way to add a "create a new post" link at the top of the Digest and Daily Summary pages and/or at the bottom of each message?

Unsubscribe Link
Is there a way to re-label the “Unsubscribe” link at the bottom to “Change Email Preferences/Unsubscribe” since the Unsubscribe button actually links to a preference page already?

Yes, that was the notice. Thanks for posting it.

I'll have to think about that. It's a little tricky because we have an active members list which is smaller but also a community of active + alumni members which is of course larger. And not everyone from the first is in the second. Yet they are all connected to the same original group.

Making it yet more complicated is that we moved to Google groups a few years ago. I will post separately about that.

Thanks!
Su
