Yes Yahoo Groups is dead. I get nothing now.
?
"Yahoo servers appear to be offline or your IP has been temporarily locked out."?
?
And the pages I did have up, I click on the links, get redirects to the groups ABOUT page only. Nothing else exists there.? Even the group's min page graphic is gone.? bummer.? I liked that.? YG looks cold and gray now.
?
Looks like I have more work to do getting the data saved from there posted once again here on GIO.

On number 2::

Log int your group on the web
On the toolbar to the right of "About", click on "Management"
Go down to "Manage Members" and click
Click on Members, Moderators, Bouncing, or Banned to select what you want
Click on "Actions" on far right end of toolbar
Go down to "Bulk Operations" and click on "Export"
Select "CSV Format" and click.

That will Export up to 1000 members to Excel.

How To? Typo in group email address

 

Total newbie here. I'm trying to set up a new group for our 501c3. But on the set up line for group email address, I spelled it wrong. Can that line be corrected or do I need to delete this group and start over. So far no members other than myself.

Re: Yahoo Groups shutdown commences #yahoo

 

Some quiet group owners may not have known.
I'd say that's unlikely. I haven't had an account on Yahoo
for 6 years and I got the email notifications they sent out
to group owners, so anyone that's still an owner would
have gotten them. I think they sent them to anyone that
had ever owned a group.
Like so many people, I created an email address on Yahoo, which was required when Yahoo took over groups. I never really used that address and had little reason to check it unless word got out that Yahoo was purging inactive accounts. Owner or moderator messages went to my primary email account through my independent ISP.

When word of the impending closure appeared on here, I went and checked my groups and found the notice on the group pages there. I never received messages to my primary email address. I even requested a backup from the dashboard and logged in to Yahoo to get that. But it wasn't until I started looking for the response that said my transfer was ready that I had occasion to look at my Yahoo mail. And finally, at that time, I found the messages to owners and moderators. So it is possible that some owners and moderators who operated almost entirely by email may have missed them, or found them too late.

This is just my experience.

Don't mind me I am just cranky.?
That's why I am glad that there is the ability to disallow "no mail". And I am careful not to abuse my power to send special notices which many choose in lieu of "no mail".

And if more than 1000 members?? I have almost 4500.


Re: My Yahoo Group already exists on groups.io

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

There are two ways to get the membership info that I know worked:

?? In YG, export the membership (and other member lists, like bouncing and banned) as CSV's using the remaining functions unde the "Management" tab. This works for <1000 members.

?? Use PGO. I've not checked this still eworks

Is there a simple way to still extract the membership list from the Yahoo! group?? I am still owner on that list.

Thanks to ALL of you for your help.? It is sincerely appreciated.

Some quiet group owners may not have known.? And in many groups, a
lot of people are no mail or digest; if they haven't checked the site
recently, the owner had no way of letting them know.

No one can expect an owner, who after all is unpaid, to send out
1,000 emails just in case someone didn't know Yahoo was bailing.

How do I download my Yahoo Group's Members list?
If your group has 1000 or fewer members:
?
To obtain a list of your Yahoo Group members you can go to the Manage Members page and in the Actions menu Export (download) a CSV or TSV format file. It is best to open the file in a spreadsheet like Excel, then you can easily copy the Email column to paste into the Direct Add or Invite page. Note: this is only for groups with 1000 or fewer members, due to Yahoo's Export restriction.

I am hoping that someone may give any up-to-date info on this.

Yes, they can be unmoderated. But you would have to moderate at least their first message if it is an unrestricted group.

Check out the Spam Control in Settings.
You must choose from among these four options. At least one of these options must be set as a spam-control measure.
?
  • Restricted Membership - Moderators must approve any new subscribers.
  • Announcement Group - Only Owners and Moderators are allowed to post.
  • Moderated - ALL messages are held pending moderator approval before being sent to the group.
  • New Users Moderated - Messages from new subscribers are held pending moderator approval. After the set number of consecutive messages are approved, the subscriber is automatically unmoderated.

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.
