I'd be interested in knowing how many groups are making the transfer from Yahoo to Groups.io.I don't know that they're all transferring, but there have been at least 4500 new groups (those visible in the directory) created on GIO since the Yahoo announcement on the 16th.

I see that the default setting (or at least our group's default setting) is to NOT show the original message when someone replies.That's when replying online.? You can always include the entire post by clicking the speech bubble (Quote Whole Post) at the top left of the reply window.? You can also highlight the part that you want to include before clicking Reply (as I did here.)? There's no control within the group for setting this.? When replying via email, what's quoted or not depends on the email interface.

I see that the default setting (or at least our group's default setting) is to NOT show the original message when someone replies. In many cases this is desirable so we don't get crazy long threads. But in other cases, we are getting members who are confused because they missed the original message so we end up with a big string of "what's this about"?Becky -- When using the online message editor to reply, you can quote the original message by clicking on the quote bubble (far left icon on the menu bar). Or you can highlight the text you want to quote with your mouse before clicking on "Reply" (as I have done here). When replying by email, this depends entirely on what the subscriber has set up in his email client. Groups.io has no control over that. I have explained and shared screenshots of how to access the group home page and the threads. I was wondering if this feature was something we could change if desired. So can we change a setting to show entire threads if wanted?The default quoting behavior of the online message editor is not a customizeable feature. Regards, Bruce |

Is there are way to do this conveniently preserving the same details for the automatically moved messages?Not that I'm aware of.? That's the main reason it's suggested that you freeze posting on the YG before the GIO export takes place.

Re: Downloading group from Yahoo while waiting for transfer

If I initiate the download from Yahoo now (i.e., early in the transfer process), will that delay (or totally screw up) the transfer to Groups.io?I think it might depend on how you're downloading.? Apparently YG has a limit on the traffic for each group.? If you're using the Dashboard to ask for a download, it shouldn't make any difference.? If you're using something like PGOffline or downloading directly, it might conflict with the GIO download and create delays.

I've initiated a transfer of a Yahoo Group. I'm now waiting for Groups.io to accept the membership invitation.? I also want to download from Yahoo to my computer whatever Yahoo is willing to download (my guess is, pretty much the same as what will transfer to Groups.io).? If I initiate the download from Yahoo now (i.e., early in the transfer process), will that delay (or totally screw up) the transfer to Groups.io??No. Would it be better to wait until Groups.io has received the material from Yahoo?It doesn't matter.

I am trying to add some extra pieces of (structured) information to every Members Group Profile.Only the member can change the Profile information.? There are a couple of possible solutions that I can think of.? If only moderators will have access, you could use the Notes for each member, but there's no way to get an overall view of that.? You could also consider a Database.? That could be configured so that everyone could see it or only moderators.? You'd also have the option of allowing members to edit it.? The catch is that unless each member adds their own information (row), there's no way to prevent anyone from editing another member's info.
