If there's no status at all, not even the box instructing you to send
the invitation, then you haven't initiated the transfer, and your
invitation will be discarded. See the screen shot under "Start the
Transfer Process" here:

An invitation I sent out from a Yahoo Group over the weekend took about
12 hours to arrive in my email inbox. So it may not have evaporated.

Out of desperation I went/have-been looking in the rolls by date; the most recent join was in 2018.? I¡¯d actually done the payment on Friday but it didn¡¯t process in the .io system until Sunday, apparently, based on the date.? I also sent another invite yesterday, just in case, and again this morning, because...
?
... at least at 6AM EDT, the invite (both of them) had not been accepted.
?
Of course, I also accept that YG may be choking right now, as I¡¯d sent a note off to two different other YGs where the move to .io is already done, and my server told me that they were not successful in sending them, now twice (two notices, a day apart).
?
Sigh...
?
Thanks for the assistance.? Like many here, this amounts to an entire history which will be flushed soon if we don¡¯t succeed.

enable download_archives permission

valcos
 

Hi,

I would like to download archives from a group, however I see that I don't have the download_archives permission (/api#download-archives).
I asked the group's owner but he doesn't know how to grant me this permission. Is there any documentation that explains how to enable the download_archives permission for a group?

Thanks in advance,
Valerio

There are a few places to find information as noted in my signature below.? The Wiki here on GMF is public, so you could refer users to it if needed.

The grouping/threading of posts is automatic and can not be turned off.? Once others learn how the group works, splitting usually isn't needed very much.

Hello chaps,
I'm fairly new to Groups.io (I came from Yahoo Groups). I have various questions...

* Is there a general user guide or FAQ anywhere?

* Can you set messages to avoid the grouping and the need to use the Split?
I can see that it would be useful sometimes but I generally don't need it

Thanks

Click on Ctrl and + at the same time on the keyboard and the fontsize increase.
Ctrl and - fontsize gets smaller.

Re: Downloading group from Yahoo while waiting for transfer

 

YG is both "choking" user download and delay posting the last posts.

I have been downloading over 20 sites the past few days.? Starting last night they started "choking" or throttling? downloads .? We keep keen eye on the net conditions, ping tests, etc.? The slow down is YG.? I have also found some of the sites appear and then disappear in front of our eyes.? YG is shutting down servers and since they are redundant servers, the remaining ones are choking.

Verizon is planning on building a new package to compete with facebook and google forums and such.? So they purchased YG structure to gut it and build something new.

I fully expect there will be more competitors to gourps in the near future.? Going from a 5,000 dollar project to a 100 million dollar project in 24 months.? Server capacity is near to noting in cost now days.
Re: Somehow my font size changed for one of my groups

 

Hi, Linda.? I suspect your browser is 'remembering' a font size setting for that URL.? Clearing your browser cache will force the browser to reload the site, and may clear that setting.? Clearing cache does not cause the browser to lose all remembered login credentials - that would only happen if you 'cleared data' as well.

Re: Transferring recent messages which missed the automatic move window.

 

Janis,

They get sent out to the group again, so I only choose those
that have enough value for future use to move.
You can prevent the resend by creating a hashtag with the No Email property, and appending that to the subject line of the messages as you copy them over.
/static/help#hashtags

What you call the hashtag is up to you. You could name it something that indicates the origin of the message, like #FromYahoo, that would also serve the purpose of distinguishing these messages from new ones.

Question [about IP addresses and banning]

Debbie
 

I have a few questions ?

1. Can you banned someone with using a different email address that matches there same IP addy?

2. How can you delete messages from the group site ?

3. Is there anyway you can hide an IP address when you join a group that is not cool thing that our iP addys are out there ? Not saying me but it is true? I had members asking me and I have no idea but that is a private matter with that,,

I am sure you do this because of problems with bullying or whatever , believe me I know still dealing with it for months..

Bill,

I have to agree with you. It certainly looks like this is a problem with the specific email address "[email protected]".

I created a new Yahoo group and invited a typical email address. Invite sent immediately.

I invited [email protected]?> Immediately got the "User does not want..." message
I invited?[email protected]?> Invite (apparently) sent immediately

Re: Email notification when someone wants to join restricted group?

 

You may want to create a Pending Subscription notice if you wish to screen new members.
If you wish more information about potential new members, use Pending Subscription notice. This message sent when someone applies to join your group. This is only available to Restricted Groups (see Spam Control in Settings). It is sent automatically to anyone who asks to join. It is not sent to those that you invite or "direct add".
