Initiated two transfers two hours ago.
Both extractions from Yahoo is done.
The speedy extraction is impressive and gives peace of mind. Data is safely in Groups.io servers. This bottle neck is critical.
Kudos for Mark. We can all sleep at peace tonight!

Bruce, Bill,
This also happens with Firefox as well.? It was first noticed for me on a new list where a subscriber was getting duplicate images after a search in Photos.? Neither one would allow saving or copying an image.
This subscriber came from a list where all photos were attachments, not stored in the Photo albums.? He didn't have a problem searching the Emailed Photos and I won't tell him.

AS a follow-on, when you search the photos albums you not only lose the ability to download the image, but later when instead you go to photo albums, select an album, view the images and select one, the download
feature is still non-functional until you close the browser/reboot.? Instead of getting save or copy functions when trying to download, the only option is to open another window, if you try that, download functions are
still only open another window...

I stumbled across a topic on beta from about 2.5 years ago and it got me to thinking...? Of course YG didn't give folks 3-6 months, they got less than 2!

Well why not? Somehow an application from a potential member has been deleted and sending an invitation is a good way of remedying the situation.

All the members on my group were sent a LINK to join the group, no invites.

Is that really relevant in this case? From your original post this was an applicant so being sent a link would not seem to apply.

? Sending the link to join has worked great.?

But (as above) is that relevant in this case? On the face of it sending the lost applicant an invitation is the best way of getting a measure of normality restored.

Go Admin > Invite on the tabs at the left hand side of your web UI and take it from there.

The capture of data from Yahoo happens fairly quickly, normally. The queue is data waiting to be imported to GIO, that's been a bit, well, challenging over the last few weeks. Presumably you're bringing it over as a subgroup, in which case it goes to the back of the queue after the capture from Y!, it won't leapfrog your other transfer :-)

Evidently your members should have retained their status when transferred.
See this reply from Shal in another thread:

You can change your group default subscription. Not sure if it does it retroactively. In Admin, Settings, second? button.

I have a large group that just transferred group. I would like to change all the current moderated members to not moderated. Can this be done, or do I have change all 1,600 or so individually??

Thanks!

Initiated transfer an hour ago.
Not on priority
Surprised that the data is already being exported from Yahoo.
Obviously the process has been speeded up.
On another transfer (not on priority) there are more than 500 ahead.
Mark is on to a miracle!

I think Duane's post is correct.

The implication of the above is that you didn't use the Pending Subscription message facility provided by Groups.io but used a direct email from you instead. That has the drawback that any reply will not be recorded in the Activity Log. If my conclusion is correct then I would suggest that using the formal Pending Subscription message is by far the better option. If that doesn't trigger a response you can always send another with a couple of clicks.

It also crossed my mind that when she claimed that she had replied to the message she was mistaking the Confirmation Message with the Pending Subsciption one, but that is somewhat speculaitve.

Puzzled! So if you invited them to join (albeit through a link in YahooGroups or email or elsewhere) you didn't need (or perhaps even use) the Pending Subscription notice.

Sorry if I confused you!

Just direct add (if you have Premium) or invite if you don't.

Well, when I get a notification to approve a subscription, I click on the link to view the member and that takes me in here on the web.? Easier for me to check out activity, etc.? ?I approve messages that way, or on my cell phone.?

Check Spam by email provider, daily.? Used to get some since using AOL, but it seems to be better now.?

When I click on Activity, I do not see "Message to +owner" in the list of activities to check out.?

I did send her an email telling her that I was checking out options, but haven't heard back.? ?I keep saying 14 days, but the info I have is that in 7 days they can reapply.? I told her this in the last email.? ?Again, I will check on the invite.

Thanks.

Ah; I see. However, surely people will not see your #keywords until they have found your group anyway. At the time they type "things" into the search box they won't know that you have hashtags against keywords showing in your group description.

I don't believe a rejection email is sent in this case.? They just drop off of the Pending list.

If you have a basic (free) group, see these instructions in the wiki:
/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Inviting-new-members

If you have a Premium group, you can direct add her. Info on this page:

MIchael, you are so smart, but you are way above my understanding.? I am doing good to learn what I've learned so far and trying to give my members the information they need to learn how to move around in the group.

I will printed out what you are saying, and then I can check it out, later.

Thanks.

I put # before each word

Does that actually achieve anything? I suspect that the # is ignored

True. But it is clear to the reader of the group description in the directory that these are keywords, and not a disjointed sentence! But I will think about this.

Bruce, she was never a member, she was a pending member and the emails I sent were to her directly with my email information, etc., to reply to me.? So, don't think that would work.

Again, I will check out how to do the invite.

Thank you.
