Checked all these posts, thanks for the lead, none of these are an issue.

Your posts are showing up here! A puzzle.
Are you emailing or going from the GMF group homepage?

Both, and tried another email client as well.

The messages DO get through to some level, as for example messages that need moderation (non-members etc.) go into the pending section. But, I CAN'T approve them, they just untick themselves, when I hit APPROVE. Replying to the moderation request doesn't do anything either.

They just never make it to circulation, no matter what.

That would be an entirely logical conclusion. Time for an email to [email protected] I think.

Yes, I sent them an email yesterday, and bumped it again today. Haven't heard anything yet.

Hi... we have an 1800 member YG group, low activity though, but existing since 2000, maybe 70,000 message or so. I've been looking around the messages here, some wiki articles, but lost the one that talks about how to use email (only) to send messages - post new topics and reply to a topic sent in an email (individual or digest).

What I remember seeing somewhere is that there was some "strange" email address to use, containing the group name, and bunches of numbers etc. - long email address. This is apparently the email integration feature. A lot of our members will want to continue to use email only so this is very important. I suppose if this receiving email address is long and strange it would still appear in one's email client to-field auto-fill easily enough, but if awkward we could perhaps create a more pleasant email address externally that forwards to the groups.io receiving address? E.g., external to groups.io, I could create an alias called messages@... and it would forward into groups.io for new topics. Not sure about responding to existing topics though.

Another person is pushing to have us move to a "fancy" system (Discourse) but using email only (etc.) is not clear from what I can see so far. (I know that's not your wheelhouse ;-))

Is the Help info wrong

Mark has corrected the information on the Help page (but made a little typo while doing it.)? It's good enough to make it more clear.

I did try to reply to a message in the groups.io webview.

It said the reply was sent, but reply did not appear.

Are you absolutely, positively sure that you are addressing the messages to the group? No mispellings, no extra punctuation, etc.?

Yes, posted to [email protected], not sure if the attachement will show here:

What happens when you reply to a previous message?

I have no received message to reply to. The several test messages I sent BEFORE the import, when it was still working, are deleted.

Someone in my Yahoo group?
What is step 4?
I already have a moderator in that group.

If you can't promote an existing group member to Moderator now, the obviously you won't be able to do it with the transfer agent later. That's why I'm suggesting that you find someone and try it. It's not going to hurt anything, and you can always change them back.

I’m confused. I gave the go-ahead to transfer my group Mon 10/21st and as of 11:25 AM, Sat 10/26th my group is on step 3, 101st in the queue. I don’t get how your group can be 24 places ahead of me.

How do you even see the queue? I’m still stuck on my invite being accepted and it’s been since the 18th (I had to resubmit)

Now, this is interesting.

I temporarily set the group to allow posts from non-members, and sent a message from an unsubscribed email address.

I got a message that moderation was required for that message, as you would expect.

I replied to the notice, which should release it, it didn't.

Went onto the PENDING page, it showed that test message, ticked it and selected APPROVE. That message unticked itself and remained in the list!

So clearly, there is something blocking message posts at a low system elve. I wonder if an internal setting that is used to stop posts temporarily during the import process, got left on or something??

same thing, nothing happened.

Can you confirm that you are still the Group Owner; please don't assume, check!

YES, shown as the owner.

Assuming that you are still listed as the Owner have your attempts to post been from your own (registered) email address?

YES, from my original registered email address. (and others)

Now this is a very long shot; check your settings; under Spam Control make sure that Announcement Group is not checked. (As an Owner or Moderator this should not make any difference, but things seem to be getting desparate!)

Only the first item (restricted membership is checked), Annoucement Group is NOT checked. I did check all of these, save and then uncheck them again and resaved, just in case something is munged deep in the settings.

NO difference.

Thanks for the suggestions.

I have sent the invite a couple of times, but I am now seeing the red box on that page. I don’t remember seeing that earlier. ?"Make sure you have sent an invite to your group for the user?[email protected]. We will send you an email once we've received and accepted an invite. If this message hasn't been updated within 6 hours of you sending your invite, please send another one. This notice will be updated when we have received your invite."?

Diane -- This suggests that your invitation to [email protected] did NOT go through. Return to the Yahoo invitation page, do a hard refresh (ctrl-F5), then try to send your invite again.?

Yahoo won’t let me send the invite again, at least not now.

I don't understand this. Did you get the dreaded "an error occurred loading the content?" More information needed.

How long should it take for the invite to be accepted? ?I’m sure they are backed up, so maybe this is normal?

Accepting the invite can take 2-3 days, but receiving it should be almost instantaneous (see?).

According to your transfer status, there is no record of your invite being sent at all. So you need to try again until the transfer status says "We have received your invite and will accept it soon..." (Note: it might help to refresh that page, too).

Hope this helps,
Bruce

I tried posting to the group from a NON-subscribed email address, it was properly rejected, and got a rejection message back.

Just for some reason, valid posts are not getting in.
