How are "Links" represented in Groups.io after migrating my group from Yahoo! Groups?
#links
#transfer
#migration
#yahoo
Hello. I and my group 'darklands' are a recent immigrant from Yahoo! Groups. We are all extremely thankful to have been openly received on friendly shores. Thank you so much!
My question here is about the data category "Links". In our Easy Groups Transfer request to Groups.io the "Transfer Links" option was selected, and in the final transfer confirmation "Transfer Links" was acknowledged as one of the operations with an associated message further down in the report, "42 links were transferred. WARNING: Some links were not able to be transferred because of a bug in Yahoo's export system. You will need to manually review the links." The thing is, In my Groups.io group UI, I don't even see anywhere where Links might be kept or copied to. I have searched in Group_Help, GMF_Help, the transfer FAQ and the online Help for the keyword "link", but nowhere in any of the returns have I found any clue about the final relative endpoint for transferred Links to be placed. I apologize if this is right under my nose. But can anyone help point me in the right direction? Source Y! group:? Links data source path: ? Destination group:?/g/darklands? Links data destination path:? ??? Thanks for your time and assistance. - Matt Wirkkala, Darklands group owner |

Can you tell me how to check on a group transfer that is not showing up.Go to?/yahootransfer. There should be a link for it below the "View Existing Transfer Status" label at lower right. Click on the link to get status of the transfer (red box at top of resulting page). If there are no links, you haven't started one. See also?/g/GroupManagersForum/message/23597 Bruce |

If I click to buy a Premium account for 1 year, the only option I'm given is to [Start a Group]It sounds like you're making a mistake or not logged into your group.? You should be able to get to the Upgrade page by using /g/GROUPNAME/upgrade?plan=1&yearly=1 and filling in the name of your group where it says GROUPNAME Whatever you do, DON'T delete your group!? That will cause endless headaches.? You can only transfer to the group you upgrade, so don't use a fake one.? The Premium payment is per group, not account.

Frances, I see how the Guidelines appear under Home (and above Subscription) on the GMF page, but how can I insert Guidelines under Home on my group's Home page?? I like that idea as a way to keep the Guidelines up-front to members. The file I have under Files is a PDF.? I just don't understand how to get them on the Home page.? Think I would also still send them privately to new group members.If you create the Guidelines document in Admin, Settings, Member Notices, it will be in your sidebar, Click Add Notice, scroll down on the list of notices. Choose Guidelines. Paste your notice. Activate it. Save.? As I said, Guidelines is different. It will automatically populate that field in your sidebar. From the wiki - I won't bother to hyperlink the URLs - you can visit and see. /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Member-Notices Extra options for the "Group Guidelines" notification:
?
The "Group Guidelines" type of member notice operates differently and has the following features and options:
?
When you set a "Group Guidelines" notice, a new tab appears on the left called "Guidelines" with the notice's content in it
You can make the "Group Guidelines" notice visible only to members (this relates to the Guidelines tab on the left)
You can set two different subject lines (see the official help pages for more details)
You can set the "Group Guidelines" notice to be sent when people join as members
You can set the "Group Guidelines" notice to be be sent every month
If you set it to be sent every month, you can choose to send it as a special notice, to ensure that members who are subscribed as "Special Notices Only" will also receive it
You can only set one "Group Guidelines" member notice at a time (it will disappear from the dropdown list when one such notice has been created)
Also:
?
Since you can use hashtags in the subject line, you can the hashtag functionality to do certain things, e.g.:
delete the previous guidelines post from the group automatically by setting the hashtag's duration as "one month".
set the hashtag to "locked" so that no-one can reply to the guidelines post.
The guidelines can be sent manually by a moderator to a group member at any time, in case the member needs a review of the guidelines

?
Tip:
If you want to send a message on a regular schedule you can use a calendar event for that.?

One of my groups with about 70,000 messages was transferred and the after action report showed perhaps a score of messages not transferred because of Ysahoo issues.J -- With metrics like that, I believe you should thank your lucky stars! I've looked up the message numbers and they are present on Yahoo still. I believe it's possible to retransfer just the messages.The message numbers do not map 1:1, largely because some messages in the Y!G were probably deleted long before you ever asked for a transfer. Did you actually read the messages left behind in the Yahoo Group and confirm that they are not present in the transferred data?? Another source of missing messages can occur if you allow posts to continue in your Yahoo Group after the transfer agent has already completed the scraping. (A quaint term -- never heard of that before) Queries:Yes, unless you're willing to meticulously go through every message and delete 70,000 dupes. Deleting all those messages will itself be rather burdensome, to put it mildly. Please consider that a repeat transfer could run into even more Yahoo glitches and leave you with a worse situation than you already have. What happens to the messages received by Groups.io in the interim between group startup and the new transfer?They are retained, and these are the ones with low message numbers. At the moment, those messages seem to be assigned a new number series series, starting at #1.Message numbers are assigned in sequence by groups.io as they arrive, whether by new posts or via the transfer agent. After? the rescraping and reload, would the #1 to #5 be lost?If you don't delete them first, they will be retained, along with every other message currently in your message archive. Hope this helps, Bruce |
