Hello,
We also subscribed to Groups.io on Oct 29 2919 and paid the Premium fee for transfer from Yahoo Groups. We demanded the transfer the same day. The page indicated that the transfer request was in progress but we have no more information today. Could you give some information, please ?
Thanks.
Best regards

Katia

Just tried this. I thought I would get an 'already subscribed'
email, but as best I can tell, nothing happens. No log entry, no
response.

So, if an existing member doesn't know that he's a member, and tries to
subscribe via mail, and gets no response, his next logical step might be
to suspect that he was using the wrong e-mail address, and so he then
sends his subscription request to the group's posting address.

And so, today our group got a lot of "subscribe" messages from existing
members who were told (on the Yahoogroup) that they should join the new
GIO group.

The same is true if you change your group description - the welcome message for new members doesn't get updated

I just joined my group under a different e-mail and as a regular member and I am able to use the hashtag still.? I have it set up like this...am I missing something?

I am very perplexed as to how to keep this hashtag where I as the owner/moderator can be the only one to use it.

Does it show in the group's Activity log? Does the user get a notification that he is already subscribed?

Hello everyone

If a user who is not logged in to the web site tries to join a list that they are already subscribed to, using the URL:
GROUPNAME.groups.io/g/join
they are told that they are already a member.

But what happens when a user who is already subscribed tries to join via e-mail, i.e. via sending an e-mail to:
GROUPNAME+subscribe@...

Does it show in the group's Activity log? Does the user get a notification that he is already subscribed?

So Mark finally implemented this suggestion, eh?

I suppose it's always good to have a choice, but I've never been fond of a setting that encourages people to hijack threads to avoid being moderated. No way will I ever use that third option.

What browsers do with the "title" depends on the browser. Some display the title as a tooltip when you hover over the link.

Mark mentioned on the app subgroup that there's a new option on the Settings page, ? In the spam control section, the label was changed from Moderated to Moderation.? The 3 choices now are: "Not moderated", "All messages are moderated", and "Messages that start new topics are moderated".? This is a group-wide setting as opposed to individuals.

A few site FAQs: /static/pricing#frequently-asked-questions

Our group transfer from Yahoo is now successfully complete. We used the PGO4 and PGO-2-GIO sequence. The transfer our objectives:

• Transfer of attachments with every message (This was the showstopper that prevented us from using EasyTransfer. There were hundreds of attachments.)
• Message numbers retained so that message cross-references remain correct. (Placeholders were inserted for messages that had been deleted.)
• Messages referencing files in the Files section have been updated to reflect the new file locations. (There were only eleven files--I did this manually.)

But in the process a couple of questions arose.

1. There were a eleven messages that came from Yahoo, each announcing that a file had been loaded to the Yahoo File store. In Yahoo the Subject was "New file uploaded to NC_LTRGs." These came posted to Groups.io as "No Subject." That is probably a question for PGO-2-GIO, but here is the question for this group: When I edit one of those messages, there is a button at the top labelled "Edit Topic." Under the "More" hamburger menu at the bottom, there is an option labelled "Edit Topic." What is the difference between these two buttons? Why are there two?
2. When the topic was edited and the message was re-displayed, the preview was missing the first part of the first line. I was going to report it as a problem, but when I redisplayed the message list, it was magically fixed. Maybe the page isn't automatically refreshed when it should be... Not a serious concern.
3. When I was editing the messages which referred to files, adding links to the locations on Groups.io, the dialog requests URL, Text to Display, and Title. I understand the purpose of the first two, the classic link and link-text. But what is Title and how is it utilized?

I am pleased with Groups.io so far. It is intuitive and easy to use. I am about to pay for a month and upload the user list.

Sorry but I think that could possibly confuse others.
Reply to this email is not ambiguous.
There is a Reply to button or link on the message in a visible place
on the email in question which is displayed or they could not read it.

It require almost no thought.??
One isn't asked to compose a message or anything like that.
Simply Reply to this message.

Seems like a true no brainer.

I just created a mod only hashtag on one of my groups and tried using it from my member account via email and online - can't be done.? If a non-mod is using it on your group, it has to be on a reply.

Thanks I went into the settings and this hashtag is already set up to be used by moderators only however a number of members have been using it. Any thoughts??

Once again, thank you everyone.? I have gotten a lot of valuable information from everyone.
Thank you Christos for that very detailed explanation.? I will try it out.

First, the answer to my troubles, at least for the email address I managed to subscribe today, was to clear out the cookies.? I chose Google Chrome as my "testing" browser and use MS Edge as my "live" browser.
I don't use Google Chrome for anything else, so I don't have to worry about deleting cookies and other info for other websites.
It worked very simply, never shipped me to the groups.io website, which is what I am looking for.? This is for users who strictly want to deal with the email address.

I will review all of your comments again to see whatever other nuggets I can find.

Thank you
Darlene

There is a Mods - choice tick box as you set up hashtags, it’s at the bottom

Sure. When editing the hashtag, tick the "Use by Mods Only" checkbox.

Please note, however, this will not keep people from replying to the already-existing topic (hashtags are applied to topics, not messages). If you don't want people to reply, tick the "Replies by Mods Only" checkbox also. See screenshot below.

Can anyone confirm that this does what I think it does? I don't like the layout of the page. It looks like this option is related to Reply To. But I don't think it is.

Okay, I tested it myself. If you set it to Use by Mods Only, a non-mod gets this message if they use it:

Yes, I believe you can set a specific hashtag for use only by moderator or owner.
Go to Hashtags in the lefthand menu.
Open the list of hashtags. Click on Edit.
There is an option at the bottom of the page -?Use by Mods Only ?
