Re: in reviewing the transfer instructions
ruthie,
we have been experiencing this phenomenon in our group for months,Yes, but groups.io is not your typical email provider. Again, no harm in trying it. perhaps a Plan B is needed for transfers, if this is a more widespreadI think an email to [email protected], including the name of your Yahoo Group, is about as good a plan B as could be.

we have been experiencing this phenomenon in our group for months, across all email providers. the invites just never arrive, not in spam either.

If yahoo invite is really not working, I'm sure you could persuade Mark to apply to your group To make it easier, you could make your group unrestricted temporarily, until he joins. Just an idea.

Re: in reviewing the transfer instructions
ruthie,
# 3 happens...i hv been trying it today myself, n anticipation of theA number of things can happen between the invite page and the invitee's inbox. Most common is that the invitation gets diverted to the invitee's Spam folder. Sometimes the invitee's email service drops or rejects the invitation. I suppose it is possible that sometimes Yahoo Groups fails to send the invite, but I don't know how to get evidence of that. I'd say try it (with [email protected]) anyway. If it fails no harm done and if it works it saves you and Mark some time working around it. Shal |

If you can't you can't. But perhaps you could write to [email protected] and ask them to subscribe to your group. Assuming you can approve the transfer agent (if needed) and promote to moderator. I'm curious what happens when you try to invite someone. 1) Do you not even see the Manage Invitations item in the group's Management menu (meaning that you haven't been granted that privilege)? 2) Do you get some kind of error message when you fill in the Invite page? 3) Does the invite page seem to work, but the invitees never seem to get the invitation? 4) Something else? If (3) I would suggest trying that for the transfer address anyway. Mark is more savvy than the average user. Shal |

This has nothing to do with moderation. It has to do with being a membership-restricted group or not. Once they're in, they will be moderated or not according to the group policy (unmoderated, moderated, or NuM). J On Tue, Dec 12, 2017 at 5:34 PM, Frances <frances@...> wrote: Hi Ruthie |

No. Once you invite someone, they are pre-approved.? But you can send the person a link to the group's home page and suggest that they apply for membership. J On Tue, Dec 12, 2017 at 5:12 PM, Ruth Levi <ruthlevi@...> wrote:

Ruthie,
it seems n IO, that once i invite someone, as long as they reply, evenCorrect. Just as in Yahoo Groups, an invitation constitutes approval of the member. is there a way to keep an invited person in the pending status, untilDon't invite them. Instead send them an email with a mailto: link for the +subscribe command, and/or an http: link to the group's home page. Shal |
Re: when requesting to join my new IO group, via the subscribe email
Ruth,
a new member gets this initial email(below) & then my personalizedNo, I don't believe you can. This one is sent by the system regardless of your group settings. It serves as an email address confirmation. If the member does not reply to this mail I think they do not receive your group's welcome or pending message. Shal |
Re: using the invite feature
Hi Ruthie
Well, I am no expert, but if it is an unmoderated group, I believe the first message of each new member is moderated. Perhaps you could intervene at that stage with your questionnaire rather than approving the message. Or this could be automated in some way. Just a thought. Frances [mod note: the first message is moderated only if the group has selected New Users Moderated.] |

Re: Why no List-Post: header?
I actually went and read the RFC, so need to amend my previous comment.? For anonymous groups, when/if added, it wouldn't be needed since it would duplicate the only option available, but shouldn't hurt anything.? On those type groups, messages via email would never contain the original posters email address.? If that possible future mechanism were an option that could be implemented in groups that discourage direct contact, it would solve both problems.

Re: New io group not activated
Moderators can be given status to change the moderator status of
others, obviously in your case whoever upgraded you to moderator did not. It was the case with me and on request I was upgraded. By the way our group transferred last Saturday in under 8 hours from giving them the go ahead. Whether there is a backlog it doesn't seem to be slowing things down.

Re: Yahoo email address contortions
The other effect which is driving me nuts is that when I try to respond to a message on a YahooGroup, the person¡¯s name is attached to the list name. This may just be Apple Mail but when Carrie posts a subject, the response is addressed to

Show quoted text
"Carolyn Kinney carriek@... [TVC-CHIP]" <TVC-CHIP@...> Even when the message is to the list not to Carrie individually. When a bunch of people are involved in the discussion, people think Carrie sent all the messages. The address will stay the same for the whole thread unless I delete it and put in only the name of the list. But every time I want to respond to the list this address will autofill and it¡¯s very hard to get rid of ¡ª delete and hit return and it come back. I have to clean my list of previous recipients on a regular basis. Since I manage our community lists, the first time this started happening I was up half the night trying to find out why. It was confusing a hot issue and made it very unclear who was saying what and who was receiving messages individually and who from the list. If you look at the address on this message it includes ¡°calendar¡±. That must have been saved from a message on calendars? Sharon On Dec 11, 2017, at 9:36 PM, Shal Farley <shals2nd@...> wrote: |
