Re: Nested photo ablums
Thanks.
I wonder what happens during the groups transfer process then. Are the photo albums lost in the transfer since they can't be made into nested albums? If so, that might explain someone's recent mention that some photos were missing.

Nested photo ablums
Can you create a photo album inside a photo album, like some have done
on Yahoo? I tried to upload photos from a Yahoo album that had another subfolder (sub-album) inside it and it seems to ignore the folder that has more photos inside it. My work-around is to create a new album named similarly to the parent album that's on Yahoo and upload the nested album photos into the one I created that's similarly named. Is there a way to get a nested, two or even three level deep album on GIO? Thanks!!!

Re: Unable to transfer old Yahoo group
Is there anything on here I can subscribe to that will push me a notification of when that outage message clears?You can monitor it at?/yahootransfer If you have concerns about losing a valuable archive, you could try to do a backup of your messages and files either by using one of the techniques mentioned in the FAQ on the wiki. See #10. See especially (b).
/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/FAQ-on-Moving-from-Yahoo-Groups This could act as a backup, just in case.
?
And make sure you are all set to go when YG starts behaving again. Make sure you are an owner or a moderator with the permission to upgrade the transfer email address to moderator in your YG site.
And your Groups.io ¡°home¡± is ready with all the right settings for your group. Write your Welcome message, etc.
Consider whether you want a subgroup, etc.?
Lots of info on the wiki.
and this on settings, notices, etc.

At that point you wait for two things:Ken -- After an entire month, I don't think continuing to wait is the answer.

And you may have difficulties promoting the transfer agent to a Moderator, depending on what privileges you have in the Yahoo group.

Re: Unable to transfer old Yahoo group
At that point you wait for two things:
1. The account to show up in the YG. 2. The email saying they were able to create the account at YG and are ready to continue. If you see the transfer account appeared at YG, you could go ahead and make it a moderator. It only needs to be a moderator. It doesn't need any of the extra checkboxes. Until you get the email saying they got the account, you have to wait. Getting YG to send the invite has been a headache for many due to the faults at YG. Granted currently things are so messed up at YG, they are not able to execute the transfer process to grab the content from YG. So you won't get the green button to 'go ahead' until they see that YG is working enough to transfer parts. -Ken Cameron, Member JMRI Dev Team www.jmri.org www.fingerlakeslivesteamers.org www.cnymod.org www.syracusemodelrr.org |
