Is it possible the posts that are going thru without moderation are being sent
directly from yahoo without any controls?

An yahooGroup as a whole could be moderated or not. When Verizon shut down Files, Conversations etc., they changed every group to unmoderated. I changed my groups back to moderated in Management - Control Panel - Group Settings. I don't see this option anymore. In Management - Manage Members too. It looks like message moderation is abolished entirely.

John,

I completely understand, and also agree that having the group setting is easier in the long run, but the problem still remains, if a group wants to have a moderated default group setting to make sure nothing falls through the cracks, then the approve and unmoderate button is not then doing its intended function.

I mean, to me at least, the way it works (differently depending on default group setting), can be confusing/misleading.

Cheers,
Christos

Lisa, what had you done?
Did you start the transfer progress? i.e. pay for a transfer to Groups.io, send an invitation to the transfer email address, make the transfer email address a moderator?

Just wondering whether perhaps Mark (Groups.io) has your data and hasn't assigned it to your group in Groups.io.

If you didn't actually trigger the transfer, you have still have some options.?

See?

That stands to reason, as they have the yahoogroups.com email address pre-populated in their email clients. If you expect people to post to the new group you cannot leave the old one up and running. It's way too confusing for everybody.

Bruce

Yes indeed. If you want a reminder to go out on a specific time each month, such as the 4th of each month, or the first Tuesday of each month, etc, etc... use the Calendar reminder to do that. You can give those special days a different color so they are visually easier to locate too.

I fully agree with Frances. Buy the one month ($20) and direct add them. However, I highly, highly, highly suggest **staying** on the premium group level if anything, to pay back Mark for this wonderful tool he had waiting for us Yahoo hold outs. It's by far the least?we can do. But, the ability to create a data base (member list) and have a Google map with all the members locations? PRICELESS. OR, make a "Best roads" database and see a map of all the great places to ride. Or a "services" database for them to see where to get the good deals on parts and service for your Bikers. In the end we spend (waste) WAY more money on other things... even two trips to McDonalds a month. Or <gasp> Cable TV. At least try it a month and direct add them for the $20. Good luck and have at er!

Yahoo has nothing to do with GIO.? Whatever was set on your YG should have been transferred unless there was a glitch.

Some posts were still being sent from yahoo; as far as I know that option has been closed.

How were you getting messages from your YG posted to your GIO group?? Anything posted on YG should only go to the people still there, it shouldn't get to the GIO group.? Are these messages actually in the archives of the GIO group?? If not, they were only sent via email.

Thanks. Unfortunately some posts have gone thru without moderation, and we are still trying to figure this out.

Though the settings should have been copied if you did a YG transfer, nothing else would be related to that.? GIO is totally independent of Yahoo.? Those with a 0 won't be moderated unless you have a moderated group, those with a 1 will never be moderated, those with a 2 will always be moderated, those with a 3 can't post, and those with a 4 will be moderated for X messages, depending on what you have set for NuM.

Thanks again for your help. The only members with a code of ‘1 allowed” are our moderators. Everyone else has codes of 0, 2, 3, &/or 4.

One thing to add...
Yahoo groups has slowed way down. Have patience when you click on anything. It takes a long time to load.

I deal with "tech-challenged" folks every day, so I understand.

Probably the easiest and cheapest route is to simply have them send an email to:

<yourgroup>[email protected]
^The correct email is shown on the homepage of your group^

Some email clients will allow you to set a different "Reply-To" for messages you send, and you could even send them each such an email, and tell them to reply.

Note that I have not tried either of these and I am no expert so your mileage may vary.

If you have a premium group, you can "direct add" your members.
If you are a free group, you can buy just one month of premium and then direct add all of your members. (Be sure you are canceled after the month.)

The settings on our home page are correct, but apparently being overridden by certain members.

1. ?Is there any way to SORT MEMBERS according to POSTING STATUS

Not via the web interface.

The best way to figure this out is to download your member list to a CSV file (see the download button at the top of Admin>Members). After importing into Excel or similar, you can then sort by the column headers...Posting Status will be in the 6th column.

2. ?Is there any way to BATCH CHANGE everyone to moderated posts.

In Admin>Settings>Spam Control, tick the Moderated checkbox, scroll down and save.?

Now open the member list and tick the checkbox at upper left to select all. Pull down the Actions menu at the bottom of the page and select Change Moderation. When the dialog box pops up, select Use Group Moderation Setting and click the Change button to confirm. Repeat for each pageful of subscribers.

Generally, life will be easier if you forget you ever saw those Posting Privilege override radio buttons.
