Re: Notice of Pricing Change
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýIndeed Deane, Don't forget to cc your thoughts to the Verizon corporate offices and their board of directors to let them know how you will feel about using any Verizon products in the future? Charlie
We're all having sleepless nights for sure!!! In reading all the posts in this and the beta forum everyone is doing the best they can and it's great to people being so civil despite such a horrible moment in internet history... And how many of us are so busy rescuing the most important stuff that we've barely had a chance to warn everyone else? Hard times! More sleepless nights to come! I feel so awful for so much that's going to be lost, especially among our elders who have already passed on who's only record of their online writings are going to be in these yahogroups emails... And all the pet and people adoption groups, the genealogy groups... It's like bulldozing a one-of-a-kind library without taking the books out first. At some point we need online data protection laws so the cost of deleting decades of archives after a merger is way, way more expensive than maintaining them. I've no doubt that scholars, researchers and historians will be referencing this event for many decades to come! Be well, Deane |

Re: Notice of Pricing Change
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýIt is a few years, definitely at least 3 or 4, that a friend and I tried to get yahoo to elevate my friend (who was a moderator) to owner and me to co-owner as new membership applications had to be approved and she couldn¡¯t do it. ?The owner had gone missing and totally ignored any attempts to get in touch with her.We never got any helpful response from yahoo at all and the group died. So yahoo ignoring the needs of groups is not a new thing. ?And absent owners and the failure by yahoo to help and support the memberships of those groups have always been a problem with yahoo groups.

[email protected] e-mail address?
Hi All,
My first day posting here. Does the [email protected] address generate any sort of acknowledgement indicating mail sent there was successfully receiveed and in queue for an eventual response? I wrote approx 18 hours ago about a free to premium upgrade failure and am not sure what type of response to expect during this busy time. Thanks, Charlie |

Folks -- Appended below is the latest from Mark on the groups.io pricing structure.
Bottom line: the requirements for a Basic group will remain unchanged for now. Bruce Hi All, ?
Sometimes I reflect on my youth, and harken back to that simpler time, that quieter time. You know, seven days ago.
?
I appreciate all the feedback, and I mean ALL of it. My intention with the pricing change is solely to set up the business for long term success and to help offset the very large increase in my costs over just this past week.
?
I realize it was a mistake to talk about future changes to the pricing structure without actually, you know, knowing what those changes might (or might not) be. As part of that, it was a mistake to change the definition of a free group right now. I've rolled back that change; new free groups do not have limits on the number of subscribers and subgroups. Hopefully this will address Harm Selling's concern, among others. Also, this means that any groups that wish to move over but cannot afford the transfer fee can still take advantage of a free group's invite feature.
?
I apologize for any confusion this may have caused.
?
Thanks,
Mark |

Re: Notice of Pricing Change
Don all that¡¯s true and some have stepped up. But this group has an absentee owner, yahoo cannot be reached to ask them to make me a mod with invite privileges so I had to give up and get a free basic forum into which I will manually import whatever I can and take a considerable hit to my time (which I have little of) to preserve what I can from the yahoo group. I was and am upset that we were not given more time before the fee went up to see what we could do. So I had a mostly sleepless night.?

Re: "Eligibility to join" pop-up for potential new members
On Oct 22, 2019, at 2:55 PM, Susan B <doggiesmail@...> wrote:Groups.io doesn't have that yet, 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 day 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. |
