Re: Invite accepted!
Eric, It's OK to log out and log back in again after you have invited transfer to your yahoo group, and are waiting for that invitation to be accepted. ?When you log back in, go to the transfer instructions page, click on the existing transfer and check the notice at the top of the page. ?When it says your invite has been accepted, then you can make transfer a moderator and click the go ahead button. ?I logged out and in many times and even rebooted my computer a couple times during the 3 days I was waiting for my invitation to be accepted.

AFAIK the process doesn't depend on you keeping a webpage loaded. It's running on the server, not in your browser.

Sorry for the confusion. I am at the stage where I await Groups.io to accept my invitation to join Yahoo group. I currently have 4 windows open on the screen . . . email, Yahoo, Groups.io showing the instructions, and Groups.io showing the matrix of selections to be transferred. I am afraid to close them for fear that I'll interrupt the process. As i said, I'm? a bit paranoid right now. |

Re: Uploads Via PG Offline
John,
It's in BETA testing right now.? I too will be very happy when this is released. Over on the PGO forums, the following from the team was posted ... --- clip-in --- Have you seen PGO-2-GIO? ? It transfers groups you've downloaded using PGO to groups.io ? There is a video of me using an early version here: ? ? There are some things the team is looking to overcome from Yahoo messages that make things rather glitchy.?? The problematic thing is with attachments that are named with the quote character.

Re: Avoiding Approval of Every Message

I am a group owner and would like to know how to avoid having to approve every subscriber message.If it is a restricted group, you don't have to have moderation enabled. In Admin, Settings. Scroll down to Spam Control. You must have at least one of these checked. (You can moderate the first message for a new member - make sure that you pick unmoderate after 1 message.) Spam Control -
You must choose from among these four options. At least one of these options must be set as a spam-control measure.
?
If you choose Restricted only, you do not need to moderate ANY messages, if you wish. But you will have to approve new subscribers.?There is no Spam Control setting that will allow a new subscriber to join your group without approval and immediately post an unmoderated message.
If you have transferred from Yahoo, people are migrated with their Yahoo status. You might want to review this guide to group formation -?/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Quick-Start-for-Group-Formation Frances |

Re: How does the reject message process work?
In my testing just now, I thought I would try rejecting through email, rather than on the group site. The needs Message Approval Needed email says: To reject this message using email, and to have the sender notified of this, forward this message to:
GroupManagersForum+reject+1905519+19+3587565863729549762@groups.io
?
To delete this message using email, forward this message to:
It is not particularly intuitive. I finally figured out that I must copy the Reject link (e-mail address), then click on FORWARD for the full Message Approval Needed email, and paste in the copied address in the new (forwarding) email.
Be sure to send the forwarding email from your owner/moderator email address. I just tested again and if you have a rejection notice, using the forwarding adds that notice to the email notification.

I sent an email from another email address (this is a member of my test group.) I rejected the message using one of my "canned" rejection notices.?
