The group name cannot be more than 32 characters, so that may be a factor.

Donald:

The Chrome applications that Mark Fletcher wrote for downloading Yahoo! Groups members and messages still work in the current version of Chrome. I used both of them successfully today. Here are the steps I used up to the point that I opened the Yahoo members download app in Chrome. From that point on the built-in directions are clear. You can use the same basic steps for the Yahoo messages download app.

? 1. Open Chrome and go to the page.

? 2. Follow the instructions to "download the Zip file YahooMembersApplication.zip, then create a directory for it, then copy the Zip file contents to the directory." Skip the rest of those instructions.

? 3. In Chrome, in the far upper-right corner, click on the three vertical dots.

? 4. Hover the cursor over More Tools and select Extensions.

? 5. Be sure the Developer mode in the upper right corner is toggled ON.

? 6. In the upper left, click on Load unpacked.

? 7. Navigate to the directory/folder where you copied the contents of the unZipped file and click on Select. Yahoo Group Members Import0.4 should be displayed under Chrome Apps.

? 8. Open a new tab and click on Apps (far left on the Bookmarks Bar).

? 9. Click on the Yahoo Group Member ... app and the Yahoo Group Members Import page should open.

10. Follow the instructions on that page. Be sure you are signed in to Yahoo!.

I hope this works for you,

Robert

Yes, I'm thinking limit, but in light of the members clamoring for alternatives to YG, I need to get these other 50-60 groups added ASAP. Maybe an admiin can put a 24-hour grace on my account for adding them. Or maybe they can suspend that while they get the influx of Yahoo users.

I think I've only added 10 or so today.

It's bad enough I have to do this manually now, but even that stopped working.

for years i've been hearing about them possible closing and now...they are...sigh

[mod note: again, not exactly closing.]

Yahoo is shutting down its Groups website and deleting all content



[mod note: yeah, we kind of noticed. ;-)? That statement is wrong though.
The website will remain as will the ability to post and receive by email.
It is the member-supplied content that is going away.]

I've been adding new groups (as I'm sure many others are too) and now when I click on CREATE GROUP it takes me to my group home page and gdoes not add the group. I have about 50 more to create tonight and I'm stuck. HELP!!!!

The group name I'm adding follows the rules - it's all one long alphanumberic name (letters and numbers)

I've been correcting people on that all day long.

Two questions:

1. How do I create a new topic on this list?

2. I've been creating new groups, but I'm stuck on one where I click CRATE GROUP and it takes me to my groups without creating it.

HELP!!! I have about 50 more groups to add tonight!

Thanks, Bruce. These may be less of an issue with the Yahoo migration than with the Wikispaces. People with an interest in the subject of my Yahoo Groups are more motivated to join. Wikispaces was page structured; Y!G is message oriented as is G.io. And I may not be able to get Y!G Photos - all I see are placeholders.

Paul -- You can poll for that using the Pending Subscription member notice. Responses are collected in the "+owner messages" section of their member record.

If they don't provide what you ask for, just leave them in Pending, and their subscription request will be deleted in two weeks.

See?/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Screening-New-Members-Using-the-Pending-Subscription-Notice

Allowing them to instantly see all the emails is not great and possibly a disqualifier.?

If your message archive is set to Private and you check the Restricted method of Spam Control, they will not be able to do that.

I've had requests from NextDoor a few times but something doesn't
sound right about it. I got the feeling that privacy is lacking and
that my data would be sold to 3rd parties. That may not be true but it
came across that way to me.

You can set up groups.io so that the public can't see messages there
and you can allow members to hide their addresses, I believe. You make
it a restricted group so that people need permission to join as part
of that process.

Unfortunately, you cannot download a list of all 10,000 members...Yahoo won't let you.
There are a few other third-party solutions to that, including PG Offline, a chrome browser app, and ModTools.

I tried following the directions on the Chrome extension and the
directions seem to be way outdated. I tried to guess what it meant
since the menus on the current Chrome version are different and got
lost.

PG Offline isn't able to sign in for me right now. I do have Yahoo set
to allow less secure applications to access Yahoo and don't have
2-step verification on. It might just be that Yahoo is overwhelmed
right now with people trying to grab their content. I can sign in with
the same credentials on their main site. I was hoping for a
work-around for now until things calm down.
