$110 transfer question about attachments.

[email protected]
 

I¡¯m cool with the 110 cost to transfer and the yearly cost, but I have one question about the paid transition.

Will the ATTACHMENTs to each post come over during the transfer? I¡¯m asking because if a member goes to an older post, and expects to see an attachment mentioned in the post, it would be bad for that to be missing.

Also with SubGroups, is there a way to make both the main and sub visible from a dashboard?

Thanks for what you do!

Hi,

Typically co-owners should be listed as ¡°owner¡±, and for each member, they must be given permission to get these messages (typically a series of checkboxes are present for each owner account that specifies sending messages like this to them).

Cheers,

Joseph

Success. I found a photo with an already relatively narrow subject and then cropped it to be as short vertically and wide horizontally as possible. When I made it my cover photo it worked out perfectly as a banner:? /g/EvanstonPFWatch. Of course, that's not to say that a photo I may want to use in the future will be likewise workable.

?

Many thanks.

Re: Question about accepting invitations #invitation

 

Hi again,

The Help says:

Welcome
?
Sent automatically to members who join an unrestricted group, or whose membership in a restricted group has been approved. A Welcome notice is always sent to new members. If the group has not created and activated a custom notice, we activate and send a default.

Go to Admin, Settings, Member Notices tab.

You can set it up so the system sends a Welcome message.

Question about accepting invitations #invitation

 

Hey all. I was wondering if I had to send the welcome message after someone accepts an invitation to join my group or is it done automatically?
Thanks.
From Michael.
Re: The impossibility of transplanting multiple yahoo groups #askmembers #yahoo #upgrade #transfer

 

To avoid the fee, you can create a new io group and do the "transfer" yourself,
inviting members to join or else just sending a message with instructions on how to join.
Users can ask to subscribe on the web site? /g/[yourgroupname]
or by sending an email to [yourgroupname][email protected]

Re: NoMail setting not right in Description

 

Group Settings - the first four have cute icons, but the last three have a circle with a slash, which I assume is can't be done.
It's true that Members cannot edit their messages, so the slash-in-circle is correct, but the other two are not right.
It is TRUE that archives are visible to subscribers only
and it is TRUE that members can set subscription to NoMail.
  • All subscribers can post to the group.
  • Posts to this group require approval from the moderators.
  • Messages are set to reply to group.
  • Subscriptions to this group do not require approval from the moderators.
  • Archives are visible to subscribers only.
  • Members can edit their messages.
  • Members can set their subscriptions to no email.

Lost message? If you wrote it on this group home page, check to see if it has been saved as a draft. Left hand menu.

Thanks Bruce and others for the quick reply.? I've let the group know and made the setting changes.? Looking forward to a seamless transfer in the coming days / weeks.

Sarah -- Say what? That's a lot of negatives. I really cannot tell what you did.

When I leave the "Disable No Email" box unchecked (meaning "no email" is enabled), it says this: "Members can set their subscriptions to no email." So far, so good.
When I go back and check the box (and click Update Group), the home page says nothing about this.

So I have been unable to get the home page description to say what you said it said. Can you send us a screenshot?

Members should be able to access Files without having to receive messages.
If you leave the box UNchecked, and they do choose to set their individual subscription to "No Email," then members should indeed be able to do this, assuming Files>Permissions is set correctly.

Hope this helps,
Bruce
NoMail setting not right in Description

 

In anticipation of moving a Yahoogroup to io, I established a new io group. In Settings, I did not check that NoMail is not permitted, but the Group Description says that NoMail cannot be selected.? Yes, it can!? What might I have done wrong?? Members should be able to access Files without having to receive messages.

Highly unlikely.? This price setup has existed since February, so it wouldn't be fair to those that paid since then.? Before that it was only paid if you wanted more than 100,000 messages transferred.? And before that, everything was free.? You could always contact [email protected] to ask about it, but with all that's going on, it may take awhile to get an answer, if any.

To the best of my knowledge, it is.? I don't believe anyone has reported doing this recently though.

The impossibility of transplanting multiple yahoo groups #askmembers #yahoo #upgrade #transfer

 

So, as the title suggest I have a fair number of groups that I'd ideally love to save the history of. However it appears that at US$110 (so rather more for this poor Australian) per group that's never going to happen.

It seems particularly unfair that in the face of this Armageddon I'd be staring bankruptcy in the face just because until the Yahoo announcement came down I'd never heard of groups.io (and thus completely missed the ability to conduct the shift for free). Is there any chance of groups.io having some sort of mercy here, even if if it's changing the basis of cost from per group to some sort of fair-go premium user account?
