In quarantine or just dumped. If they've concluded it's spam, they could simply dump it.

It feels like [GMF} is getting at least 100 messages per day. My provider has rated it as spam a couple of times and notified Groups.io. Carrierzone could simply be dumping it.

I wonder if Groups.io should add a feature to automatically put everyone in digests when the message traffic gets this high.

Sandie,

It looks like everything is in order, so you need to send an email to [email protected]?to get this resolved.

How do I proceed? I have one group that has been converted. There is another one that has not been converted. Both use a variant of what would be the domain name so it will have to change.

NAIAandNAIATrustMembers and NAIAandNAIATrustBoard would have a domain of NAIAandNAIATrust with Members and Board being the sub-domains. So, one needs to change its name and then become a sub and the other must start the entire conversion process.

Thanks for talking me through this far.

So, have you decided to change the name of your main group??
Here's how: ?/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Renaming-a-Group

So do that first - carefully, as the instructions say.

Since you have a group, you can create your subgroup after the name change.?
Easy to do.?/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Subgroups
Be careful with your settings.?

Then request your transfer. Free if your first group is a premium group.
Make sure you pick the RIGHT group to transfer into the subgroup. Not into the main group.?
(Others have made that mistake and it is hard to untangle.)

If someone is only in your Yahoo Group and not in you main Groups.io group, the person will be put in both.

Start and read all the instructions!

I'm sending this again as I got no answer and it seems to have gotten lost.

I paid for the premium pricing so that I could transfer my Yahoo Group to Groups.io. When attempting to do begin the transfer, my Groups.io group name did not appear in the drop down menu. (Screen shot attached). I'm getting the message that we need to upgrade to premium, which we have already done. Our Groups.io billing tab reflects that we have paid for the upgrade as well.

As I recall, carrierzone.com is an outfit that organizations hire to do spam filtering. You may have an account with carrierzone where your messages are being held in quarantine.

Thanks, Larry. That makes some sense. I will try banging on tech support again Monday, when their A-grade personnel are in place.

Thanks, Donald, for the useful link. I definitely am not coming from the perspective of a lawyer, but of an advocate for my community, so rather than getting heavy-handed about the law, I'm more interested in the spirit of the ADA, where we all learn to help make the world a more accessible and inclusive place for all of us. I'll contact Mark to let him know that we're having this issue, and hopefully he can figure out something simple to do to make the digests work better.

Thanks so much, everyone!

Hi everyone,

All set up ready for you and for content.?

• At the bottom of the Table of Contents of the wiki, Languages: Translation Help for Groups.io is a link to a landing page to list languages in this section of the wiki.
  
  
• Easy to create - write or paste and you can change font, colour, indents, etc. in the Advanced Toolbar ("hamburger" menu). You can also link and add attachments and screenshots / photos. Special Character in the second line of the Advanced Toolbar has accents and other diacriticals.

So go here to the landing page:
Landing page lists separate pages for different languages
This is a subsidiary table of contents for the different language pages.

I created the first entry on the landing page.
/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Language---xxx

Use New Page to create a page for your language help page.

This is the style for the URL for each language page.
?/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Language---xxx
URLs are automatically generated by the title of the page. So there may be a page titled Language - French, one titled Language - German (or?Deutsch - your preference).
After you create a page, copy the URL for the page. You will list the page on the landing page (not the main Table of Contents for the wiki).

Don't worry - the beauty of a wiki is that we can undo. You can compare pages and revert to an older version if necessary.
Useful to put a brief explanatory note of what you changed.?

I hope the is clear enough!

The only thing you have to be careful about is not losing the page you are working on before it is linked - hooked into - the landing page menu. You can see all the pages of the wiki at the bottom of the page - a blue button Pages. But there are lots of them. That's why I suggest you adopt a style - languages - French, languages - Greek, etc.?

And there is a search box at the top of the wiki screen!

A little bit of help:

FAQ on Moving from YahooGroups
GMF Wiki: (unofficial) Help for members (and would-be members) and group managers

Jules,

I have had my group transferred which is great.

By using the Easy Yahoo Group Transfer mechanism, or otherwise?

The messages were transferred over and put in a main folder.

What do you mean by "main folder"? Are you referring to the Messages section of a primary group, or something else?

I tried to export the whole messages and download to a zip file as the
process I thought was the same as moving photos.

Do you mean that you used the Export Group Data function in your Groups.io group's Settings page? Or do you mean that you used the getmydata function at Yahoo to export your Yahoo Group's contents?

I had created a subfolder and uploaded the message directory but I
cannot open the folder to see individual messages.

I'm uncertain where you created this subfolder, but in either of the export cases of my prior question the exported messages are in mbox formatted files. That format cannot be directly opened by any browser that I'm aware of to view the messages. One would need to extract the mbox file(s) to your computer's storage and import them to an email application, or a file viewer that supports mbox format.

I want members to view the messages for references but only in a
subgroup for members only.

I don't know of any method to make those messages easily viewable and searchable directly from your subgroup's pages. The difficulty is that viewing files from web sites is subject to each member's browser settings, as well as to the configuration of the site itself. In many cases the member will be required to download the file to view it on their own computer.

Thank you, that's helpful.

The last email sent got a timeout at 8:13 pm (what timezone?), which suggests that everything has been queued and not sent.

Ken -
Just a couple thoughts. I have some larger groups I've brought over from Y! and some smaller ones I've created on groups.io later. Some have very internet savvy members and others are . . . Well, let's just say that on the information highway they're cruising up the parking lane with their flashers on - but they're enjoying themselves and contributing! Some of those guys I keep on moderation just so I can jump in when they post and make sure they're doing okay. I don't see those more than once or twice a month and really they take very little time.

I've found that by-and-larger, if folks are told right up front that they're expected to be courteous and criticize *ideas*, not the person posting them, a group can get by with very little effort. My largest groups have dealt with some pretty contentious issues and managed to get through them in a very civilized manner by following that basic tennet. I really think that letting members know your expectations right away, and even put them in the group guidelines avoids a lot of problems.

Overall I'd say that Gerald really gave you the most important answer with his comment:

I don't think nearly enough people know it, but this group (GMF) is a big part
of what makes GIO such a great place to be. You'd never be on your own.

My recommendation would be to start your group and invite a few people. Most of the setup recommendations are the result of literally hundreds of man-years of group ownership/moderation experience both here and on Y! and it's predecessors. If you run into something you're not sure how to handle and you've checked the GMF wiki, then bring your questions here.

And what if the subgroups are not shown on referenced page, even after two invites have been sent???
