Larry,

I don't even see the Admin pull down where I could initiate an invite.

There is no "Admin" pull down.

Use the "Management" pull down menu (on right, below group picture)
Select "Manage Invitations"
OR
Select "Manage Members"
Click on "+Invite" (below and to the right of the "Management" pull down menu)
Enter email address(es) in box
Click on "Invite" (at bottom of page)
- if it doesn't say 'invitation sent successfully' and the number of 'You can invite _ more members today' decreases,
or it says 'Sorry, an error occurred while loading the content.'
Click on "Invite" again.

This is why I am wondering if Yahoo is not allowing any more invites.

I just invited another email address of mine to join my 10 (already transferred in 2018) YahooGroups.
It took less than 15 minutes (due to slow YahooGroups page loading) to invite and have the invitations received.
It took about 50 minutes (due to multiple, multiple Captchas to solve and slow YahooGroups page loading) to accept the 10 invitations.
The Welcome to YahooGroup messages only took a minute or so each to be sent to and received by me.

I have already migrated two other Yahoo groups to groups.io with no problem, but they were done before the 28th. I'm just wondering if everything changed after the 28th.

Management > Manage Members showed the new member in all YahooGroups.
Management > Activity Log > Membership had no record of the new invitations, but there are the 2018 records of when I invited <[email protected]> in all YahooGroups.



I feel sorry for what must be Captcha-burnout on the part of the Groups.io person(s) doing the <[email protected]> YahooGroup invitation acceptances.

Right now the primary email address on both my GIO and YG is the same. If I leave it alone, my transferred membership will be rejected because I'm already a member on GIO. If I change the primary email address on either group before the transfer, I'll end up being listed twice, once as the owner under my GIO join date and once as a (transferred) member under my YG join date. Is that right?

That's correct.

It makes no difference what the names of the groups are.? The one on YG could be Blue and the one here could be Red.? FYI, if you haven't started the transfer, you could add/change the name here so that it has the dash if that name hasn't been used.

My transfer is fast approaching. Right now the primary email address on both my GIO and YG is the same. If I leave it alone, my transferred membership will be rejected because I'm already a member on GIO. If I change the primary email address on either group before the transfer, I'll end up being listed twice, once as the owner under my GIO join date and once as a (transferred) member under my YG join date. Is that right?

The code looks like this on one of mine:

<div id="cover-photo" class="cover-photo wviewvert" style="background-image: url(/g/GroupManagersForum/messages/&quot;http:/l.yimg.com/ru/defcovers/SPECIFIC-STUFF-HERE&quot;);"></div>

Orest,

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 ...

You answered that:

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?

Good suggestion - for the "beta" group (Groups.io's suggestion box).

Am I missing something?

For easier navigation try resetting your "Account > Preferences > Items Per Page" to "100":

Use the downward arrow after your name (in the upper right corner) to select "Account"
OR
Go to: /account
Click on "Preferences" in left column
Web Site Preferences > Items Per Page
set to "100"
Click "Update Preferences" at bottom of page

The default is 20 Items Per Page (which your screen shot of "121-140 of 429" shows).
100 Items Per Page will allow you to make bigger jumps and to scroll among 100 rather than 20 Items Per Page.

NOTE: "Infinite Scroll" sounds more desirable, but it doesn't seem to work right for everything - or at least didn't, I haven't tested it recently.

So was I the only one that jumped backwards 100 places ?!

I told the person in charge of my Yahoo group I would take care of transferring to groups.io, or that I would find someone who would.

Here is what he told me.

The group you have set up at is not quite the same as ours at Yahoo
groups... note, here we have a dash (hyphen) between BEAUTIFUL and
INSTRUMENTALS as this:-? Beautiful-Instrumentals.

I don't imagine that would be a problem but it might in migrating the members
to the platform.

Have you any knowledge of this?

Thank you Chris for the suggestion.? We are new to the mix and slowing learning the ropes.? I appreciate the help and guidance.

Peter.

I am able to edit my rejected message subject. I actually liked the wording - I just added our group name, saved it and it stuck.

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?

Niman,

Select what you want to paste before replying. It will automatically be pasted along with the introductory "On ...."

If you want to include the whole post, click on the lasso icon on the top left hand side of the reply panel after you have started the reply.

I used PG Offline to download several large photo directories from YG lists in the last week, including two yesterday.

Downloaded in just a few minutes.? First time user of PG offline; while it required manual uploading of albums to groups.io, I got 10GB of YG photos?

downsized and moved to 3 Basic (Free) lists on groups.io in just a few days; the backlog of Premium list transfers has been much longer.? Space required for storage

was reduced 80%.? I wanted to finish by the first of December, instead I finished on Halloween.

Earl,

You will get an email telling you that it has gone through. Mine have been coming within a day or so. It is working and is worth the wait!

Larry,

My capacity for doing invites is working just fine. All functions are intact.

Looks like they are running about 30 groups per day right now.? So 857 would take maybe 28 days at that rate.? Hopefully it will speed up a bit....

The Group is "LA Producer".? I kept spelling it in plural with an "s".? Sorry for the confusion.? My mistake.

I have just found your Home Page; may I be so bold as to suggest that you remove the email addresses of your Moderators? Leaving those on a publicly visible page is high risk; the only thing missing is a big flashing sign saying Please send me as much spam (and worse) as you possibly can.

Groups operate perfectly well without individual people having their email addresses visible on the Home Page.
