?
Yes. Upgrading your Primary Group to the Premium Yearly plan covers your subgroups as well. No extra fee to transfer YG into subgroups.
?
However ?the expedite fee (3 (b) above) only applies to a single transfer. not to subgroups. Your subgroups will maintain their place in the transfer queue.
?
Note: you can't create any subgroups until the primary group gets approved. For more info on subgroups, see Why use a Subgroup for more information about subgroups.?
?
4 (b) Can I transfer more than one Yahoo Group into one Groups.io group?
?
Yes. The Premium Yearly plan allows multiple Yahoo Groups to be transferred to your Primary group and/or its subgroups. Be sure to transfer one at a time to avoid problems.
?
If you transfer more than one Yahoo Group into the same Primary or Subgroup the additional content appends to what's already been transferred. Any members already present in the Groups.io group will not be transferred again by later transfers.

How can I set him as owner / moderator? cause, if i check an option, the other will be unchecked.?If you make someone an owner, they automatically are moderators.? In Admin, Members, click on the person's name that you want to promote.? Choose from the dropdown menu - owner or moderator. Then a menu opens with permissions. Tick those that you want them to have. Don't forget to scroll down and save. Be very cautious when giving Set Moderator Privileges to anyone. A Moderator with that box checked can promote themselves to "Owner" and demote the real owner to member and even remove them from membership. It is a Permission with all the powers of being an owner.

Also, can someone be made a Moderator of the subgroup without becoming a Moderator of the main group?Yes. It's entirely possible to have different sets of moderators for each subgroup, with or without some overlap. The main group owner(s) will always have ultimate control, the subgroups cannot become wholly independent. |

Re: Subscriber has left [email protected]
After my group transferred to from Yahoo to groups.io, I had a few unsubscribes. I think what happened is that these folks were on ¡°no email¡± on the yahoo group and had forgotten they were joined. With the automated ¡°You have been added¡± email that went out, they were reminded that they had once been part of the group, and the message gave them an easy way to unsubscribe.

New subscribers issues
#subscription
Hi!
I am the moderator of ManualExchange group and apparently the new subscribes (put in moderation with the 3 msg) do not find the button "New Topic" under "#Hashtags" button.... Indeed no new messages appeared even if more than 30 Subs joint us; I am also worried for the not moderated users as well, at this point! Could you check and verify if I did something wrong, after yahoo migration? Thanks and BR. Canaoaro Gian M. |

Re: Best way to follow a topic?
Frances,
Something to suggest (perhaps in the new year) in Beta - add a followWhat would this do? If you are set to All Messages you are effectively following everything. About the only effect I can imagine is as preparation for a subsequent switch to Following Only. And no way that I can see to add a post to my list of "followed"You can do that via the web, but you have to find the topic / hashtag via the Your Groups area, accessed via the Groups.io logo. This is in the help page, but I agree it is really obscure and needs a better user interface. /static/help#muting And no way that I know of for tracking my "likes".That's true. Hopefully something that will improve with the long-awaited notifications overhaul. I realize that the mute and follow aren't for saving posts for theThere has been mentioned in beta an idea for a Favorite feature. It would be similar to a Like, except the designation would be private to you. And of course there would need to be a way to browse and search your favorites.
