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.

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directions seem to be way outdated.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.

How do I transfer to let members know about the new group besides a simple post? Sorry, I mean is there a way to transfer over 10,000 members in one swoop or do they all have to join on their own?

Unfortunately, you cannot download a list of all 10,000 members...Yahoo won't let you. So you are left with using the groups.io transfer mechanism or...yes...asking everyone to abandon the old group and resubscribe to the new one.

There's also the question of whether your message archive, files and photos have any meaning to you, and if you're willing to pay $110 to have them moved. Can your subscribers afford to pitch in a penny apiece? :-) If so, this might be a better option. There are many transfer resources that explain the process. You can read about it here, here and here. In fact there are so many resources that many people come away even more confused. The bottom line is that if you can scratch the money together we are here to help walk you through it. If you can't, then your best bet may just be to abandon the "stuff" from the old group and start afresh.

Assuming you decide not to muddle through an actual transfer, you should find the +subscribe email address for your group [among some others] at the bottom of your group's home page. The easiest way to tell people how to subscribe is to simply have them send a subscription email to that address from their preferred email account.?It doesn't matter what the message says...it can even be empty. You can instead have them visit your group home page and click the Join This Group button located there...but for some reason sending the subscription email seems to leave folks less confused.

The good news is that your active members probably WILL follow your instructions and WILL bother to migrate on their own. In fact, I found that the migration to groups.io was a great way to clean out all the deadwood. I can't speak for every group owner, but I'd rather have a dozen subscribers who actually participate than 1000 lurkers.

Hope this helps,
Bruce

I think that given the archive transfer bug and that the main group is premium, what would be easiest and fastest for us as well as reducing Mark's workload, would be to just create the subgroup and add the members directly.

Does that seem like a reasonable approach?

Glenn -- I, for one, think that makes perfect sense.

You already have Direct Add capability anyway, so I see no advantage whatsoever in waiting for Mark to do something that you can do for yourself.

{NOTE TO OTHERS: This continuing discussion relates to a GOOGLE transfer, not a Yahoo transfer.}

Many thanks Duane and Bruce for your prompt and detailed replies.

If one considers these to be problems rather than features, then yes...all three are still broken.

When I was struggling with the demise of Wikispaces a year or so ago, there were a few issues that made me migrate elsewhere than groups.io. Now facing the end of my Yahoo Groups, can someone kindly answer these questions and save me the effort of retesting and researching?

1. images and files not publicly visible. You have to be logged into see them.
2. No permalinks for images inside Photos.
3. No batch import of pages.

Thanks!

Tom
