If so, you're the first one to report it. I'm not betting on anything with Yahoo Groups anymore.

I have already migrated two other Yahoo groups to groups.io with no problem, but they were done before the 28th.

Wow. I just browsed to one of my Yahoo Groups and everything is REALLY SLOW.?Are you double-sure that you have the necessary permissions to send an invitation in this particular group? I know I've asked you that before but it's the only thing I can think of to explain why I can access those management tools and you can't.

In the meantime, I have initiated a download from Yahoo of all my data. I am waiting for them to respond with a link to the download.

That's probably wise in any event.

Good luck,
Bruce

Your group is awaiting import into Groups.io. There are about 857 groups ahead of it in the queue. [Step 3 of 4]

Typically how long of a wait to be fully transferred when you have reached step 3? I am super excited about getting this far.?

According to Mark Murphy (not to be confused with Mark Fletcher), his group moved from #198 in the queue to the actual upload to groups.io about 6 days (Ref:?/g/GroupManagersForum/message/21624).

Your mileage may vary, void where prohibited, objects in mirror may be closer than they appear.

Side question - how do you copy the original text of a message so it also appears in a response? Is there a quick way, besides copy/paste?

Sally -- Online, click on the quote bubble at the far left end of the toolbar of the message editor.

Using your email client, use whatever tools it provides.

You have reached the limit for number of direct adds that can be processed without approval. Once your new direct adds have been approved, they will be processed. You will receive a notification when this happens.

This is an anti-spamming feature. It was introduced two years ago when a spammer set up a group and sent out 600,000 invitations.

See?/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/20-Invitations-Limit?for details.

What happens next?? Thank you.

You do what it says...wait for the notification.

With active groups, users may want to flag certain individual messages or topics so they can easily find them again. This would not be public, but rather their own personal list of favorites. Is there a way to do this?

Jerry -- No, although this has been suggested before (Ref: ?and others). Whether it will ever actually occur is anyone's guess.

I've checked about a half dozen accounts

The Welcome message being sent isn't logged on the group.? You need to check with some members to see if any of them got it.? I suspect they did.

There was a post by Mark that implied that groups with lots of members will have to be paid groups in future, but then things changed again. What is the latest on this issue?

Samuel -- The only thing that has recently (and definitely) changed regarding this is the two-fold increase in the Premium fees. All else is just speculation.

Hello

There was a post by Mark that implied that groups with lots of members will have to be paid groups in future, but then things changed again. What is the latest on this issue?

I'd like to create a free group and invite the current 5000 or so members to the group. No doubt many of them will not join, but what if lots of them do join? Traffic on the list is about 50-100 messages per month.

Samuel

Thank you, Bruce, for your quick reply.

In the various lists of things, such as members or posts, there doesn't appear to be a quick way to step to the very beginning, or very end of a list ...

When it is only hundreds of entries, not too bad, but if there are thousands then that is a lot of clicking.

I guess you could jump to the beginning by changing the column that sorts the list, and then jump to the end by reversing that order again, but why not have a?? <<?? and? >>? to do that from the to jump line?

Am I missing something?

Orest -- You can click on the column headers of any table to change sort order.

In messages/topics display, clicking on the Date link will do the same, jumping you to the beginning or end as needed.

Hope this helps,
Bruce

I am the sole owner of the Yahoo group and have full permissions. It appears that after October 28, Yahoo is not allowing new invitations.

Larry -- I will be unable provide further assistance until you answer all the questions from?my previous post.

What you are describing is not unusual, and you really should try sending the invitation more than once before writing it all off.
