Re: groups.io - language selection

 

Goodness. I too was looking for the "language" field in the setup. I can't believe that this platform is solely available in English.?

Re: Email addresses

I have been using multiple browsers for years to resolve issues like yours. Most commonly I use it on my website pages. I can be logged in on one browser in editing mode and on another to verify changes and capture URLs for links in emails, etc.?

I use multiple browsers to access IO groups because I have three IO accounts. I like to see IO group content in moderator, owner and member views.?

I am on my iPad more than my Mac nowadays. There are apps for browsers such as Chrome, Duck Duck Go, Opera Mini and Firefox for tablets and phones. The same thing applies to using different tablet browser apps.?

Simultaneous transfer of sub-groups #yahoo #transfer #subgroups

Gareth Jenkins
 

Sorry about this, as I think I have seen the answer somewhere before on the forum but cannot find it now.

The voluntary organisation I am involved has Yahoo Groups, covering its different activities.? We are now going to migrate the main umbrella group over as our main Groups.io group and move what used to be separate Yahoo Groups into new sub-groups - logically a better structure.

The question is, once my main group has transferred can I submit the transfer requests for the sub-groups more or less at the same time?? The answer I saw before indicated that there was no problem in doing this, but can anyone out there confirm this?

Thanks in advance

Gareth

I also have noticed this. In my group it appears that indeed the date is based on when the member applies, not when they were approved.?

Using Expedited Transferring

 

Cannot say what would occur for others but paying for expedited transfer really reduced the time to get the transferring done.

Two and half hours after paying for expedited transferring checked the status and shows TRANSFERRING NOW. Not sure when it actually began but this was a group that had about 850 groups ahead of my group. Groups.io had already downloaded the information was just waiting to transfer.

Others had estimated 20 to 30 groups were being transferred a day by Groups.io so using those numbers I would have waited another 29 to 43 days unless things speeded up.

This is a large group for me (almost 1,300 members and about 350,000 prior emails and several files uploaded) and I needed to get it up and running.

For me the $200 is worth the faster service.

You can download all the messages in the trial. You just can¡¯t export more than 1000.

Re: Transferring Yahoo group after October 28

 

Larry,
If you are still recognized as group owner, you can delete messages sent by others. You can use that as a quick test of your management status.

Also, in desktop mode, you can see your list of groups on the left. Your group should show a crown beside the group name in your groups list.when you are logged in.?
Lately I do not see this list with viable links in tablet mode. But in desktop mode it is still there and with all my groups listed and crowns and the links work.


Re: Transferring Yahoo group after October 28

 

This may not apply to your case, but when I am using my tablet, to get to management settings in Yahoo groups, I have to go to my browser settings and change to desktop mode. In desktop mode, I see all the links generally available on computer. If I change back to mobile, the management link is not available. Make sure you are in desktop modemode rather than mobile or tablet mode.

As far as I understand it right the accounts are merged by the mail address. So there should be no need to restrict the group.

Yes, you can, and probably should, change it to require approval before they become members.? Then you could create a Rejected Subscription notice with an explanation to be sent.? It's not necessary to remove the ones that have joined, but you could and they'd be added back by the transfer.

Judith -- There is no formal Google Drive integration, but yes...you can place a hyperlink that directs people to additional cloud storage anywhere in your group that allows hyperlinks:? Your home page, your wiki, even a pinned message. In fact, this is pretty much how Google Groups handles all their file and photo storage.

To function properly, the hyperlink will have to work for anyone who has the long URL. This is easy enough to set up in Google Drive, but I do recommend that you place such a link somewhere that's inaccessible to non-members.

Bruce

Georg -- I don't like this either, and once made a request on beta to NOT automatically open a draft reply (ref:?). The idea never got much traction, but you could go there and give my idea a bump, or open your own thread on the subject.

The beta group is the official "suggestion box" for groups.io. Although vetting ideas here in GMF first is a good idea, no one in groups.io management reads this forum. So eventually you'll need to post over there to get the attention of someone who can do something about it.

Good luck,
Bruce


Re: View Thread in Digests

 

George,

This would best be sent to the beta group, as a suggestion. It's possible somebody else has also had the same idea so you'd be adding to the clamour as it were.

Does, during the transfer process, the photo descriptions contained in YG photos, against each photo, if so provided, get copied across to in the transfer process??
It's a simple question.
