Ken,

The options seem to be:
1) Keep two accounts in Group.io
2) Delete one or the other account in Group.io

3) Merge the account with the old address into the the account with the new address.
/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Profile-and-Email-Address-and-Merging-Accounts
(bottom section)

I see the logic of preserving all the Yahoo member IDs to track the
threads/rights to the files.

The merge option does that as well.

That all makes sense. Thanks for answering the question so quickly. I guess the problem we’ll have is that since we’ve manually created new user accounts using different emails from the Yahoo group, we will have duplication of members with both their Yahoo membership and their new membership. I imagine we have to let the members individually decide what to do about that. The options seem to be:

lady.dove,

I want to change the email addy to read
my [email protected]
instead it has main@...
Have 2 sub groups

The subgroups are the reason for the subdomain format.

Could someone assist me please as to how to change this

You can easily change "main" to a name of your choosing. That's right at the top of your group's Settings page.

But you can't eliminate the part to the right of the @ without eliminating the subgroups. It is that part that ties the primary group and the subgroups together.

I found the controls I was looking for!

Hello!

I just joined groups.io. I have set up a restricted group and I would like members to be able to post unmoderated. Current setting is moderated (I must approve). Can that be changed to unmoderated?

Thanks for your help,
Jim Wintner

ok. How do I set up an event for every other month?

Calendar
Click on "+Add Event"
(fill in "Event Name")
Make selections for the first occurrence of the Event in the "Date and Time" section
In the "Repeats" section:
Check the "Event Repeats" box
Select "Monthly" in the "Repeats" dropdown menu (below the "Event Repeats" box)
Select "2" in the "Repeat Every" dropdown menu
Choose either: "Repeat by day of the week" or "Repeat by day of the month"
(Make "Starts On" and "Ends" selections)
The "Repeat Summary" will say either:
Every 2 months on the <1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, or 5th> <name of Day of Week>
Every 2 months on day <number of day of month>

Important, finish setting up the event:
Fill in "Event Information" section
Set up Reminder notices in the "Reminders" section

MOST IMPORTANT at the bottom of page:
Click on "+Add Event", or "+Add Event & Invite Group" to send out an immediate announcement.

Also an event for the last Tuesday of the month (some months have 4 some have 5)

Groups.io currently doesn't recognize that there are 29 or 30 dates every year that are a 'fifth <day of the week>

I brought that up 2018.06.25



It was also brought up that some events' date are calculated as being x days before or after another date.
e.g. Federal Election Day in the United States is the Tuesday following the first Monday in November in even years
(1st Monday of November plus 6 days, repeats every 24 months)
(Some States also hold elections on that date every year, or every other but on odd years.)
2018.08.06

Unfortunately Groups.io hasn't fixed these oversights yet.
Maybe next year, after the great YahooGroups migration is over.... ;-}

They got back to me, but unfortunately it's only a form reply due to high volume. Mark is actually directing people here to GMF.

Hello,

Due to the high volume of support requests right now (aka we're a bit overwhelmed!), we're unfortunately unable to provide a specific answer to your question.

Our help is at /static/help and may be able to answer your questions. I also suggest subscribing to the GroupManagersForum and asking the good folks there. They have a lot of experience and should be able to answer any questions you may have.

Cheers,

Ralph,

Hi Jim,

Thanks! You have summed up my problem 100% accurately. I had failed to mention that I had invited [email protected] to become a member of the Yahoo group in question. Mark accepted the invitation, but now I am "stuck" because I cannot reach PA3DUV. He does not answer my e-mails, nor has he reacted to Yahoo's warnings.

The best I can hope for is to capture the old messages, files and photos an place the in the Files and Photos sections of the new groups.io icom2kl group, but the members will not be transferred. There is a program "PGOffline" which will do this, but I have to buy the full version.

Cheers, Adam

Wow,

Our experiences differ...when I try to log in to do anything, it gives an authentication error, even though it never has in the past, and all credentials are correct.? I have tried tens of times and no joy.
