I just looked at very early messages in my travel group - it had been transferred from Yahoo several years ago. No toolbar.
You can edit the message - open a message and use the hamburger menu to get a few options including Edit Message.

However there is an associated URL for each - the number in the top right. Could you rig something up by putting something in Files or Databases with a link to the right post?

Hi
My group has? now been imported from yahoo.? I went to edit imported messages from yahoo where there was a missing attachment. However there was no paperclip showing in the edit message editor that i could see .(there is one for new messages) . How can I add attachments to old messages?
thanks

I cannot find the place to pay for the accelerated transfer and I have NOT revived the response to the invite I sent 2 weeks ago Sunday?? everything seems yo have died?

There is a setting: Admin->Settings->Settings Tab->Privacy Section->Hide Email Addresses in Archives
which can be set to “Do not mask email addresses in the archives.” or “Mask all email addresses in the web archives.”

When it is set to the “Mask” setting, when viewing the messages in the archive the messages show up like your example. When it is set to “Do not mask”,
addresses show unmodified.

However, the setting does not affect how the message is sent out in email messages. It only affects how things look in the Archives, ie. when you look at the email messages on the groups.io website (at /g/yourgroup/messages or )

I’m not aware of a setting that enables/disables the displaying of email addresses in the actual emails sent to members from your group.

I am an owner of several YG and am also blocked from promoting new or existing members to moderators????

That's unfortunate, but let's be totally honest...if you're neither the Owner nor have his cooperation, then this Yahoo group is simply not yours to transfer.?

There is nothing keeping you from creating a parallel group and inviting people over, or even uploading the content. You just won't be able to use the Easy Group Transfer process to do it.

Regards,
Bruce

Awwww! I assumed the owners date would have been preserved, since we had to create the group.

Thanks for the info - had I known what to ask on October 18……

When I migrated my Yahoo group over, I did not allow new members to join the new group. When the migration finished, I received a summary email explaining how many messages, files, photos, members were transferred, including a list of members that were not transferred. There was only one address not transferred, mine, because it was already subscribed.

All the join dates of the members were preserved, but mine was not. It’s a tiny bit of nostalgia lost, but not too bad.

If I were to do it over, I would have used a separate email address as the owner of the groups.io group, let all the members transfer in, then merged my new account into my old account to retain my join date.

I used my credit card (not Pay Pal) to pay for both Premium and the priority fee. ?Never went through Stripe.

Actually, you can't pay until you have a group to pay for. ;>)

I read, but can't find at the moment, that there's already a limit sending messages to GIO.? I believe it's 40 within a certain time and don't know what the timeout is before you can send more.? Can you imagine trying to inject 100,000 messages at 40 per hour (or whatever the limit is)?? Having said that, this doesn't sound like a good idea, even if it can be done.

Edit:? Okay, found it.? It's 40 messages per 30 minutes, https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/8326

okay to be "honest" the owner made me a moderator 6+ years ago and has since disappeared. All attempts to reach him have thus far failed.?

I am and have been the only person over the group and am trying my best to keep it a float.

You must pay before you request a transfer from YahooGroups. There are free basic groups.

You asked about using a debit card.
Email [email protected]?to see if they will accept another payment option. Perhaps through the method they are using for groups to get donations - Stripe, I believe??

I see exactly where you are coming from Bruce...? I won't be popular for my opinion, either.

I have received the YG download zip and have tried PGO for a group I am only a member of. BOTH ways give me access to the whole archive and include both messages and the entire email address for each. The member list and email addresses are hidden from me at the YG group.?Somewhere at some time, group owners (myself included) must have accepted that this might happen... subscribers must have agreed that their email addresses may not be private to group members, also. OR, perhaps YG is just stupid and will end up sued... who knows... I'm not gonna read the ToS to find out.

I have set my groups setting here to make sure that email addresses can not be harvested, but it looks like YG's settings are not so great.

The bigger threat, IMO, is PGO injecting messages (probably by emailing them en mass) into GIO without Mark's approval. I hope that he is monitoring this issue (or that those with his ear are) and making settings that will stop this from happening without his intervention to make sure he receives the proper compensation and that the database remains stable.

Hello.

I am hoping that someone will answer my question. ?I have tried four times to pay for premium for my one group. ?It declined my debit card 4 times. ?Would someone be able to answer to questions for me:

1. Do you have to pay before you create the group or does that matter?

2. Can someone provide me with a link to contact them to get a paypal link to pay?

The existing transfer process at least involves some semblance of consent from someone in a position of authority in the originating group. If anyone with an email address and this software can subscribe?for a day and immediately clone a group here in groups.io, this raises issues both ethical and legal. In fact, it bears a strong resemblance to DVD or software pirating.
As someone fully vested in the future of this platform, I do not want to see groups.io?get embroiled in some sort of court battle regarding group/content ownership. To the casual observer, that may seem unlikely -- but it only has to happen once. And if it does, we will ALL be affected.

Bruce: That's a very good point, and on reflection I have to agree with you.

I have no idea how Wilson is planning to do his proposed transfer, as he obviously has no more access to GIO's internals than any of us do, unless he works out some kind of arrangement with Mark.

The only way I could see it working otherwise is for Wilson to add a routine to automatically re-mail all messages one by one from the PGO archive to a groups.io list, but that of course would not preserve the ownership of each email.

I guess Mark will have to deal with this issue when it arises.
