Re: Help to transfer photos from main photo album

#23632

I don’t have much experience with the groups.io photos section yet, but I don’t see a way to directly move photos from a main group to a subgroup.  It also appears that there’s no good way for a member to download multiple photos at once.  However, as owner, you can do an export of just the photos section of your main group.  Go to Admin->Settings and choose the Export Group Data tab.  You can choose to get an export of all the photos.  Groups.io will email you a link to a zip file containint all the photos.

The file extensions (.jpg, .png, etc.) seem to have been lost in my test.  I don’t know if that was a Yahoo “feature” or some sort of data lost in the transfer process.  You might need to add the file extensions back on after you receive the export zip file.  Arrange all the photos as you wish, and then you can
upload multiple photos into new Albums that you create in your subgroup’s photo area.

Let us know how it goes.

And I have no problem with the width. Not on my iPhone either.

We know that this happens with large photos pasted into the text, but the line that separates the footer from the rest of the text, also causes this problem when she reads it in her webmail.

Is there something we can do to fix this?

Re: Detailed Instructions on How to Conduct a Yahoo Transfer

#23624

Hi Bruce,

Thank you for keep this up-to-date and distributing it.

Would it be prudent to state near the top the prerequisite that you must be either an owner of the Yahoo group, or a moderator with both the “Invite and add members” and “Add, remove, and change moderator privileges” privileges?  This might save a few folks from spending the $220 only to find out they can’t do the invite.  (And then save groups.io from having to process a refund)

Janice -- I can see why you would find this perplexing. The only thing I can think of that would cause the symptoms you describe is that she is subscribed to your group under a different email address, with the msn.com address set up as a posting alias.?

Have her try to log in under one of her other email addresses. If she's successful, she should be able to find her alias in the "Advanced Settings for Email Aliases" block at?/account. If the msn.com address is indeed present as an alias and she deletes it, you should then be able to subscribe that address to your group.

Unfortunately, as a group Owner you cannot look this up for her.

Hope this helps,
Bruce

I guess since you checked bouncing, you looked Activity? Anything there?
I would guess that she is registered under a different email address. Especially if she was transferred from Yahoo Groups.?

However I believe that there have been problems with MSN with email delivery. But she should be able to login. If she doesn't know her password (or have one), she should try Email Me A Link by clicking on the link or use this URL -?/sendloginlink

Re: Owner died - how can I transfer yahoo-group without being able to add a new moderator? #owner #transfer

It is also possible to download the group contents using a couple of perl scripts that are available. One of them downloads all the messages and members in JSON format, which is the format that your browser sends data when you do something like fill in a form on a web site. ?A moderator of the group would have to know how to run perl scripts on a computer, which is not entirely trivial.

If the groups.io staff accepted a JSON dump of all the messages and members, then they could be transferred in.

The PG Offline software, when I tried to export data to the SQL formats, resulted in a mess that I couldn’t import into anything. CSV is also useless, as commas are found in content.

How are "Links" represented in Groups.io after migrating my group from Yahoo! Groups? #links #transfer #migration #yahoo

#23618

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.

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.

Re: Best path to pull YG here if same name exists here already #askmembers

#23613

Exactly,?

If I click to buy a Premium account for 1 year, the only option I'm given is to [Start a Group]

But, I already have a group, and wish to fill it with content from YG.

So, perhaps, I should just start a fake group when I pay for this service.

Then once I'm in and paid, I can delete the fake group, and download the data from YG to my existing group?

(Since now I'm a premium member).

?

P.S. I might be getting stuck on semantics.? Not my goal.? Perhaps I may need to delete my existing group here, and start from scratch?
