Susan P, no, I think Frances was answering my question. But our situations are similar. Mine differs in that my address for Yahoo group did not match ?address. I since have changed the Yahoo address to match.

Sorry. I edited it so it now points to the correct page.

Frances,

Hi Shal,

Why do my invites require approval before they are sent out.?

Sally,

A few questions about the yahoo change

These may be covered in the Yahoo GroupManagersForum:

and would be more appropriate there.

That said (since you aren't a member of Y!GMF or YGOG):

1) Will digests stop after October 28? Or after December 13?

Good question. Pessimistically the 28th.

I think it depends on whetherthey stop storing even conversations at that point. If so then they'll have no copies of the messages from which to form digests.

2) If someone is still on digest after they stop, will they just get
no emails?

Another good question. I'm advising people switch their memberships to Individual Emails as soon as practical just in case.

3) Is there any easy way to switch 800+ accounts???

Tedious, but not difficult:

4) Will online editing of posts continue after Oct 28/Dec 13? (which?)
And if not, it seems like there would be no way to edit posts?

I presume you mean editing of Pending messages.

Again, good question. Yahoo says "admins will continue to have limited access to group settings and administration tools" - but which tools they haven't said. I'm optimistically hoping it includes all of the functions of the Pending Members list.

5) Looks like the member list will still be on the site, and editable
- correct?

Again, good question. I have to assume it will because it is the most fundamental administrative tool.

6) "No attachments" - will attachments to emails be allowed through
the system as a post?

I assume that means no storage for attachments, but that emails will go through with their attachments intact. Just as a precaution I'm setting my groups to:
HTML - Include Attachments in Email

Hi

if you get your group transferred by the Groups.io transfer process from YahooGroups, your members just have to start using the new email address to send posts to your new home.
They will get email as usual, with the same settings.?

You can refer them to this - or copy the bits that you want to share with them:
/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/home

For new members, check the section on Member Notices-?/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Quick-Start-for-Group-Formation

You will probably have more questions but please look at the info we volunteers put together for you!
Then ask!

Frances?

Frances, will our group members get ?email messages from ?inviting them to sign up for our group on ? If they will, we need to hurry up and post our own message to our members.

Yes, that is correct - exactly what I did. We’re working on our welcome message. For now, I de-activated it until we can decide exactly what to say. We plan to post our own message to our Yahoo group informing members of the coming change, so they won’t be surprised.

Sally, your questions are about what will happen on YahooGroups. I don't have the answers but likely someone else will.

If you are interested in finding out about moving your group to Groups.io, you might find this useful:?

Susan, you have your Groups.io group, and you changed it to Premium. And you went to YahooGroups and invited the Groups.io transfer email address.

You might look at this page -?/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Transfer-from-Yahoo-Groups

Hope it won't take too long for your transfer!

Frances

Bruce, never mind - I think I found what you were talking about. You have to click the button at the bottom of the page you linked to. The button says Yahoo Group Instructions and when the new page shows up, look down in the right hand corner here.?/yahootransfer??When I look there I see a blank box with the words “You have no transfers in process or completed."

Bruce the page you linked to only talks about “Easy Groups Transfer.” Is there another page and link to find out this status?

Sorry if this has been discussed. I did a few searches but was unable to find any info.
I would like to have the members of my Group complete a sign up questionnaire prior to being approved. Is there a way to do this?

Groups.io doesn't have that, hopefully someday it will.
This is what I do:


MAKE YOUR GROUP 'Restricted Membership' and use a "Pending Subscription Message"
Admin > Settings > Spam Control
Check the box next to "Restricted Membership"
I also recommend checking the box next to "New Users Moderated"
and use the "Unmoderate After" menu to select "1, 2, 3, or 4 approved messages"
Click on "Update Group" at bottom of page.
--
Admin > Settings
Click on "Member Notices"
Click on "+New Notice"
Select "Pending Subscription" from "Notice Type" menu
I change the message "Subject"
from: Your pending membership in the [email protected] group
to: Additional Information Required
Make sure box next to "Active Message" is checked.
Compose your "Pending Subscription" message telling them what you want to approve their membership
I suggest you tell them why and who wants it.
Click "Add Notice"
--

This "Pending Subscription Message" (sent to anyone who applies to join) and the "Subscription Approval Needed" notice that is sent to Owner/Moderator will both be sent at the same time, and a 14 day clock before the subscription application is automatically deleted will be started.

The "Pending Subscription Message" will not delay the "Subscription Approval Needed" notice, however an Owner/Moderator can put the 14 day clock on hold by 'Claiming' the application.
Click on "View Pending Member" in the "Subscription Approval Needed" notice email,
or go to the group's website Admin > Members
Select "Pending Members" (in the drop-down Members menu) if not already shown
Click on the row (not the check box) of the Pending Member
Click on "Claim Sub" at bottom of the page
The words "Claimed by <your name>" will appear in a blue box to the right of the applicant's email address
Now the 14 clock has been stopped and only you can approve this Subscription by email.
NOTE: All Owners and any Moderator (with appropriate privileges) can still approve this Subscription at anytime at the website.
This allows you to wait until you get a reply to the "Pending Subscription Message".

To resend the "Pending Subscription Message" (if you get no response):
Check the box at the left end of that Pending Member's row
Select "Resend Pending Membership Notice" in the drop-down "Actions" menu
Click "Yes" in the "Verify Action" dialog window.
