Date

In Yahoo Groups, When does the archives stop? A few are saying Oct 28

 

Some say Dec? I had one lady tell me why put us all on individual mail,now when that wont affect us until Dec? Well for one it is getting them used to learn to read in email but another told her no archives go Oct 28 .

Re: Daily Summary Question #messages

 

I found the answer at?/static/help
"Daily Summary sends a once-daily list of topics posted that day. Unlike the digests the summary does not include the text of any of the messages, only the list of topics."

Okay then, would it be possible to update (for the groups.io system) ... the description of that on the screen where a member edits his/her subscription preferences?? That menu doesn't tell you that the Summary mode doesn't contain any messages.

Can you be more specific when you said you kicked this off "last week"??

Hi, Rich,?

I hope you'll forgive me for my vagueness specifying how long it took for my site to be migrated.

I was deliberately vague about the specific timing because I don't want people expecting the same timing. Nor do I want them posting something like, "Well,?his?was migrated in "x" days. Why has mine taken longer?"

It's notoriously difficult to schedule these kinds of processes, especially when huge tidal waves of sites and data show up unexpectedly as is happening now that Yahoo pulled the plug.

The purpose of my post was just to assure people migrations are happening, that they're happening relatively quickly, and that groups.io?is working behind the scenes to make it happen. I've had no contact with groups.io other than initiating the migration using the links in the OP.

I¡¯m very confused right now.

?

I set up the new io groups, paid the fees.

I then sent several invitations from YAHOO to the transfer io address per the instructions over the past few days.? Nothing has been accepted.?

?

The on-line instructions tell you not to start the transfer process until the io invitation is accepted. ?What have I done wrong?

How do you change the font and size of the font in the group description?

Re: Format for file names

 

Jerry, when you uploaded the files, did you enter that full address in the file
name box, or did you use the browse button and just pick out the file you
wanted to upload. If the former, that could possibly explain what you're seeing
(not sure - never done it that way).

What transfer status box?? I must be missing something as I¡¯ve gotten no response on the request for transfer.


transfer question

 

Hi Shal,

I paid the subscription annual fee of $110 (but admittedly it was only yesterday - and shows up in groups.io as

?changed the group plan to premium, yearly billing via web) so I might be jumping the gun a bit on this.


What I have also done is go into the yahoo group and sent the invite to the transfer address, (which says it was successfully sent).
But when I look at the Yahoo group activity and members, nothing is showing up that I have sent anything.

I am not sure if I have done everything right - I thought I did.? Maybe I am just being impatient. I am really new to this?process.

Jules - yahoo group
jules36_2000@...?- Townes-Brocks Syndrome - Support Group

new group .io
jachrist69@... (new group) to transfer into this one?

Any assistance in finding out that the invite from my old yahoo group actually did go through to ask for assistance is greatly appreciated.

thank you,
Jules

You can set the Cover Photo and/or Icon for your Group by going to:

Incomplete Transfer

 

Hi all,

I followed the instructions in the GMF on transferring my Yahoo group (5700 members, 6 GB content) and three days later it says "Complete" on the Easy Transfer page.? 5500 members and many messages were transferred, but only one file and one photo have showed up in the new io group.

If I delete the completed transfer request, will it also delete users or just the transfer request itself??? I emailed groups.io and they suggested I check with people in GMF.

I appreciate any and all suggestions!

Rich -- If you're talking about what I think you're talking about, it's on the same page where you update your Cover Photo.

Click the Cover Photo button at the top of the Settings page and scroll down to the Icon block.

If you're talking about the one on the Your Groups drop down, you can't.

Re: A few questions about the yahoo change

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Shal -
You nailed it. It wasn¡¯t quite a typo, it was that I¡¯d included the ?domain when I put in the Yahoo group¡¯s email address! So now the ¡°existing transfers¡± box says?
? ? ? You have 1 transfer in process or completed.

The screen shots were exactly what ?needed. ?I did not notice if the notice at the top of the page changed to say ¡°We¡¯ve received the invite¡­¡± I hope it did.

I don¡¯t have the email from ?either but hopefully it will show up. Are they taking days to show up?

As of now, ¡°transfer¡± has not shown up as a member of the yahoo group either but guess I¡¯ll just have to wait.

I realized we have a second group that was set up on yahoo some years ago to hold files and photos we had no room for. This was before Yahoo gave us more storage space. I need to transfer it to ?too. It could possibly become a subgroup under our main group, but I¡¯m just not ready to tackle that now. Do I have to pay another $110 to do this? I hope not.

Thank you Shal. As always you are a great fixer of problems!!

That doesn't matter in the slightest.

> invitation is being processed or completed.

The prior steps of setting up the transfer set up the automation to expect an invitation from the group name you specified. So once the invitation is received that status notice should change promptly (from "Make sure you have sent an invite to your group for the user [email protected] ..." to "We've received the invite ..."

I can only think of two possibilities here: a typo when you entered the address into the Yahoo Group's Invite page, or Yahoo is backlogged in sending out Invitations. Notwithstanding the possible uptick in Invitations I'm skeptical of a backlog, as even Yahoo's automation should be able to handle that.

Have a look at the screenshots in GMF's step-by-step and see if anything seems out of place compared to what you are seeing. Then let us know.

Daily Summary Question #messages

 

From what I'm reading, you receive a summary once every 24 hours. It could have very few messages or hundreds, depending on your group's message traffic that day. Is that correct?? Is it true that the summary contains only the first few words of each message and not the whole message?? Does it work that way regardless of how many messages are within a summary?? I'm uncertain what is true and what is untrue about any of this.

If you undergo the Easy Group Transfer, then yes...

...unless for your own reasons you choose to uncheck the box to have that done (not recommended).

When you pay for a transfer, one of the first things done is to copy over all of the members and create a groups.io account for them.? If they only communicate via email, they're done.? If they'd like to access the group online, see /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Logging-In.
