How to find status page for transfer

 

I am having a terrible time finding the page that gives us the status of our transfer. Could someone step me through this again? I didn¡¯t have trouble earlier this week but I must have forgotten something, We are at stage 3 waiting to be transferred into our premium group.

Thank you!

Joining and Login Issues #addmembers #membershiprequest

Hello,
I have to issues with a new group (LA Producers).? One is a potential member who is receiving a notice that he is already a member.? He has repeatedly asked for the email to be sent, and it never arrives.? He has checked his junk folder and there's nothing there.? He has his own domain and although there isn't an official web site, the email I send him from my personal email has arrived to him.? I'm attaching the screenshot I asked him to forward to me.? I also tried logging in with his email and got a similar response.? I did a search within our group and he is definitely not a member.

2nd issue.? Another member joined the group added a password and confirmed the email but is seeing "Big Cheap" as the group, not LA Producers.? FYI, "Big Cheap" as far as I can tell based on a search, is not a Group.io.? I asked for a screenshot.

Any advice or troubleshooting is welcomed.? Thanks so much.

Making members' email addresses invisible

 

This is the first group provider I have experienced where members' email addresses are displayed to other members by default.
This is surely not a good nor a safe policy for a group, ?because:
1. email addresses can be harvested by those with malign intentions (that is already a pretty risky thing to allow in view of GDPR regulations)
2. group discussions and contacts can be sidetracked into offline or private channels, while the whole idea of the group is 'public' / open discussion and contact.
Therefore, how can I ?suppress or make members' email addresses invisible by default to all except Moderators and above?
Grateful for any help.
Regards
John Prescott
Transfer Progress viewing...

Now that I'm in the queue (Your group is awaiting import into Groups.io. There are about 982 groups ahead of it in the queue. [Step 3 of 4]), I have two questions:

1. I think I know the answer, but is it possible to exclude emails once the transfer has started?

2. At what stage in the transfer process will I begin to see progress notes like this? (I got this from another e-mail here on [GMF].)

I would like to group related photo albums together in a single top folder/album. For now, I have changed the album names to have a similar prefix, but is there a better way?
You've come up with the best way to do it, at least for now.? Sub-albums have been requested, but we don't know if it will ever happen.

This is not the first report about this that has appeaed, albeit from others rather than you.

Is [email protected] still listed as a member? If so, why reinvite it? Just promote it to Moderator again.

Also, it would appear that the agent should be designated "Owner" rather than "Moderator" to accomplish needed transfer tasks.?

Where did that idea come from?

Transferring Yahoo group after October 28

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

I set up a transfer from a yahoo group today, but yahoo groups will not let me send an invite to groups.io. How do I complete the transfer?

Re: How long does signup take?

 

It took 3 full days for me - the second time. The first time my invite disappeared. So keep checking your page to make sure it doesn¡¯t suddenly change from ¡°waiting¡± to ¡°send invite to¡±

I lost a full week because I didn¡¯t realize that could happen.

Re: Activity Log

 

My concern? It wasn't a concern, as much as it was a question. I didn't know something like what I found in the Activity Log, would be displayed for me to see.

Re: reply to sender/group

 

Frances... In testing our test groups.io system, there are three message situations that are unfortunately inconsistent in terms of "reply to" options. Both the digests and some of the single emails have options for replying directly to Group, Sender, Mute, etc. However, many of the single reply emails have only "View/Reply online, Mute, Group Owner, and Unsubscribe". In this latter case, the user uses their email clients Reply button to reply to group, but the only way to reply to Sender in this case is to follow the online link (log-in, etc.), which is not going to go well with our membership.

My group property is set for "Group" and I have not ticked the "Remove Other Reply Options".

I have been trying to figure out why some single emails have the full complement of options and others not. I can't see it.
Importing data from Vanilla Forums #importingdata

 

We've recently joined Groups.io and had a very successful migration from our existing Yahoo Group. However, we'd also like to bring over existing Vanilla Forums archives here as well.

I believe that we can request a MySQL dump from VF, but does anyone have experience importing this into Groups.io? Or can someone point me to further documentation about importing other forums into Groups.io? I haven't had much luck searching the archives for MySQL or Vanilla Forums.

Thanks!
Accepting new member requests before transfer is complete?

Edward Borg
 

Hi Group;

Should we be accepting new members requests or wait for the transfer to complete?
Do you think it would affect the transfer?
Maybe they are using different emails and might have more than one membership once transfer is complete.
Plus, I know some may start posting to the group or start uploading content.

Sincerely;
Edward Borg
Changing group name while transferring from Yahoo

 

I noticed the other day a message on here stating groups could not have an underscore in the name. I had created my group 4 years ago, but only started the transfer process last week. We are at level 3 and wasn't sure if it would disrupt the transfer if I remove the underscore now.

I see here how to make the change, but don't want to have to start from square one in the transfer. We are 191 in the queue.

Thanks,
Sara

Hi:? I requested transfer of yahoo group "NYC-MM", invited the groups.io agent, made [email protected]?a moderator, and the transfer appears to be in the migration queue, working its way up.? But I notice the moderator [email protected]?has disappeared in the NYC-MM group.? Do I need to reinvite the agent?? I am worried that my group will work its way to the front of the migration queue and the agent won't be able to make the transfer, not being a moderator anymore.

Also, it would appear that the agent should be designated "Owner" rather than "Moderator" to accomplish needed transfer tasks.? Thoughts on this as well???

Thanks.

The intro letter that people get states that they can post in the "canned" info that is sent to them, with my additional added text below stating it is announcement only, and I've made it so only moderators can post (only me) but they still think they can because of the canned text at the top of the welcome message.
Bonnie -- Are you talking about the Invite, or the Welcome notice?

An invitation has canned wording as you noted, and does contain an email address, but does not actually instruct anyone to post there.

The default Welcome notice can be overridden by creating a custom one from scratch and making it Active.

Thank you for the explanation! I do have a restricted group but I didn't understand why it was a part of accepting new members.
