Hi. I just wanted to announce the creation of a new group here on groups.io:? IHateYahooGroups

This is the place to go to complain about the Y!G downgrade and any ongoing issues you may be having with accessing and using the Y!G site.

It is NOT the place to discuss transfer issues -- those should remain here in GMF.

Why am I doing this? Mainly, it's to improve the signal-to-noise ratio in the support groups (like here), which need to remain as high as possible during this difficult time of transition. The new group is unmoderated (except your first message) and I won't be looking over your shoulders very much. Try to keep actual swearing to a minimum...otherwise, have at it and enjoy!

Starting Oct 28, yahoogroups won't save any new content.

That means that new files cannot be uploaded, and no new messages archived.

We have created a new io group, and will soon pay upgrade to premium.

Our plan was to take a week or two, to set up the new empty io group with our custom notices, our own faq, etc. ... and then initiate the procedures for "easy transfer".

I understand that there is high demand, so we might have to wait our turn for the transfer. Totally understandable.

But what happens to any new messages from our members sent to our list after Oct 28th? I understand they won't be archived inside our yahoogroups site. So how could they be transferred to groups.io?

The bottom line is ... for any transfers that happen between Oct 29 and Dec 1st, what happens to any new emails sent to the yahoogroups list during that time before the transfer is finalized? How can these new emails be transferred if they are not added into our yahoogroups message archive?

Would we need to just save them in our regular email inbox, and then find a way to download them into some sort of archive file (I have no idea how)? and then post that into the groups.io?
Hoping there is a simple way to do this.

Huge number of new groups being formed because of YahooGroups. The owners now have deadlines to meet from Yahoo. If you wanted an idea of how busy Groups.io is, go to?/search?p=Created,,,20,2,0,0
Click on newest. And these are just the publicly listed groups!?

Frances, I went to that link and printed out the instructions.? The email that I use to get into my current groups is a gmail address.? Can I use a different email for creating my own group?

Seems that the activity in our group here has greatly increased recently.

I was, when watching the Surge of digests, ?headfirst wondering if I was somehow getting duplicates. But they seem to be genuine separate digests.

?Races two questions, if anyone cares to answer:?

1) What is the cause of the increase? ?Increased migration away from Yahoo with the latest bolix ?there??

2) What determines the number of digests?
At one point, long ago, ?I speculated that the system was designed to generate no more than one every 24 hours.
Doesn’t generate a guy just wants a certain number of posts have accumulated?

Personally, I prefer fewer digests, even if it means they have to be longer and contain more messages in each digest.?

For example, in my lists come as moderator, I would like to set it to one digest per 24 hours, or once a max number of posts have accumulated.

Is that something Group moderators can set?
if not, How do I add it to the suggested enhancements list?

I have been having the same issue - today was the day we are moving from yahoo to groups.io and I wanted to give everyone a heads up but nothing is going through no matter what I try, all day. And I know this isn't a groups.io issue but maybe we can start a new group on groups.io... Yahoo Groups Survival and Healing :-D?

Good Luck!

When transferring 2 groups from Yahoo Groups and I want one to be the subgroup of the other, is this 1 fee? or 2?

Replies from a pending member to the "Pending Subscription Message" are sent to: <your Group Email Address>[email protected]
If your group were: LindaLiaoGroup
it goes to: [email protected]

It will be received by all Owners and Moderators (of your group) who have their
Subscription > Owner Email
set to "All Emails"

If you are an Owner (or Moderator with appropriate permission) you can set any of your Owner's or Moderator's 'Owner Email' at:
Admin > Members
Click on their row (do not check the box next to their name)
and set 'Owner Email' to "All Emails"

Yeah!! We are actually going to the website now! We have to do that to move attachments, delete what we don't want moved etc.?

I have a question from a friend.? This is her first time with groups.io.? She just added a group and clicked on making it Private and not in the Directory.? Now her members can't find it by doing a search.? Does she have to Delete the group and then recreate it again choosing the correct settings?? I'm assuming the settings would be to allow it to be in the Directory.? I know that there was a message that said once you set it to private you can't change it.

Would she be able to use the same group name after deleting it?? Or would groups say that name is used.

Sincerely,

Rli@...

Please explain how to set up a pending subscription message.
Thanks!

I put notices on the description pages at Yahoo that we are moving and added links to the? new groups.

I will not be approving anyone at Yahoo. When they appply, I can send them an email to explain, then add directly? to the new group on Groups.io

If you have a membership request at Yahoo, you would approve, add them at Groups.io and use the message box to explain why tgey are there instead of Yahoo.

If you are keeping the YG also you can approve them later after the transfer.

That's short for Go Ahead and "Start Group Transfer Process".? What's in the quotes is what you actually see on the green button at the bottom.
