Re: How to customize the "join" page

 

Just change it! Use the three lines (hamburger menu) to open more editing.

Be sure to save at the end. Scroll WAY down!

See attached.

Re: Incomplete Transfer

 

Hi folks,
Thanks for the assistance.? I did indeed receive the "Completed" email, here is the body (edited for space):
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello,

The transfer of your Yahoo Group KX3 to your Groups.io group Elecraft-KX is complete.

We've transferred the following parts of your group:

  • Members
  • Messages
  • Photos
  • Files
  • Links
  • Databases

IMPORTANT: Yahoo Groups has been very unreliable lately. If you find that you are missing Photos, Files or Messages, it is because we were unable to export them due to problems with Yahoo Groups. Also, we do not transfer calendar events.

Here are some statistics:

  1. Total Members Processed: 5719
  2. Successfully Added: 5498
  3. Bounced Members (Skipped): 140
  4. Moderated Members: 1093
  5. Members on Digest: 1247
  6. Undisclosed Emails (Skipped): 24


The following email addresses were not added:
1- 57...

140 email addresses were not added because they were bouncing.

?

0 photos were transferred.

The following photos were not transferred, due to problems with Yahoo:
(followed by hundreds of photo names which were not transferred)

0 files were transferred.

0 links were transferred.

0 databases were transferred.?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So it looks as if the state of Yahoo at the time the transferal was attempted caused the problem.? I have tried two utilities to archive teh Yahoo site and both failed, despite the fact that I can see and DL the Files and Photos...How do I proceed?

Cheers!

Howard Hoyt

I just realized I wasn't being very clear. It's not the "home" page, but the "join" page:
/g/bbwfs/join

Hi Frances,

I see "Admin" and "Settings" but I do not see an "Edit" option. FYI, I only have a basic (free) account.

Chris


Re: How to customize the "join" page

 

Chris, do you mean the Welcome notice or your group home page?

If you mean the Welcome notice, go to Member Notices tab in Admin, choose Welcome. Edit, activate it (check box) and save.
If you mean your group home page, go to Admin, Settings, Edit. Update at the very bottom of the page.

How to customize the "join" page

Chris - KC9AD
 

I am a brand new group owner and I see that many features can be customized in groups.io. But I can't see how to?customize the "join" page; I would like to replace the "Welcome to <group email address>, . . ." with "Welcome to <Group Name>, . . .".

Is that possible? Can somebody guide me? Thanks.

Chris

Or go to:

Sorry, I don't know whether you can pay by debit card or PayPal. Anyone?

How to upgrade to premium #howto #upgrade

 

I've searched all over and I can't figure out how to upgrade my group from basic to premium.? Also, I did find a billing place where you enter a credit card.? But our nonprofit has only a debit card and PayPal.? Is there anyway of paying by one of those methods??


Re: Small user icons next to groups in group list?

 

My experience is to just slam a file in there and it looks fine. Either in the cover page or the icon. Most intelligent image scaling I¡¯ve ever seen.?

Hi Don,

Below the Choose File button it says - coloring is me.? ;)

Upload a file containing the icon. It will be scaled to fit within 200 x 200 pixels.

How to upgrade to premium #howto #upgrade

 

I just figured out how to upgrade to premium so no need to respond to that.? However, I would still like to know about alternative payment methods.

And, one more thing, how do I obtain the 50% nonprofit discount?

Thanks, Jane

For the sake of argument, I'm going to assume you mean you are inviting it, not sending an email to it.

The following email addresses had errors:

This is the error message you get if you try to invite it to your groups.io group. You're supposed to log into Yahoo and invite it to your Yahoo Group.?

It means it will be resized so the longest dimension is 200 pixels.

On the site instructions, it says Send an invite from your Yahoo Group to [email protected]
On the detailed instructions, /g/GroupManagersForum/message/19673, it says Go to your YAHOO GROUP (not your groups.io group) and log in. Send a membership invitation to "[email protected]."
In the Wiki here, it says Be sure to invite [email protected] to your YAHOO group.

All seem pretty clear to me.

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

 

Yes this is a question I hope we can get a quick answer as its only a few days away to that. Some say that includes messages some say only files etc. .

It's difficult to tell from the announcement.? It says you can't upload anything after Oct 28 and that the archives will go on Dec 14.? Since saving messages in the archive is a type of upload, it could go either way.? As you say, why wait until the last minute and miss a deadline.

Chris said:

Are you actually trying to send an email to [email protected] or
are you using the *Invite function from your existing Yahoo Group* ,
as specified in the instruuctions?
I was inviting from what I now understand (thanks, Duane) to be the
wrong group, namely the NEW groups.io one.

I completely missed that it should be the existing y'hoo group that I
wanted moved. As logical as that is ...

Re: 'transfer' is an invalid email?

You said:

You must send this from your Yahoo group. This error message has
been reported as coming up a lot recently, so keep trying if that's
where you're sending it from.
Facepalm.

Thanks.

Maybe that's not clear in the instructions?
