When transferring the photos from a yahoo group, will those
photos automatically be resized to the settings of the
Groups.IO group?

If the owner requests it, they can be resampled down to a maximum size. Or they can be left the original size if the owner prefers that and if they don't exceed the storage allotted. I opted to take two of my groups to premium, partly for the added storage space and partly for the additional abilities of the groups.io owner.

View Event.

When new people join a group they need to join by submitting their email address and a password, then when allowed into the group they can send emails.

When a newly Transferred member is in the Members List of their group do they also have to submit their email address and a password to email their group? I figure they have to sign in using their email address and password if they want to enter their group site, and also for Invited people to the group.

And they seem to prefer it that way !!!

I’m trying to convince my organization to transfer all their lists to Groups.io. Probably for reasons of stasis they are reluctant. What revives interest is when Yahoo messes up.

3 days with no email and then messages appear not in chronological order. Not clear we have all of them.

Does anyone know what happened?

Hello again,

Another basic question - what is a subgroup and what are pros/cons vs having a totally separate group?? I do have a couple groups that are somewhat related, so I wonder if it might be better to set up as a subgroup going forward.

Thanks,

Barb

Thank you, I was able to do that.? Is there some way simply to have a secondary email on my primary account, I don't want a separate one for the Gmail account.? Thanks again!
Barb

It sounds to me like you need to log out of the 2nd account and sign in with the first.? Click on your name in the upper right corner on the blue bar and select Logout, then select Login and use the 1st account.

Duane

I have member that was transferred from Y to G, and contacted me through my personal email to tell me; "- My ‘reply’ message below was rejected by the receiving server." This person is in the members lists, no bounce symbol, does not have a Y address, and nothing unusual when looking at their membership information. I changed their email delivery to All Messages from Full Featured Digest, and maybe that will make a difference.

Don

Hi,

I am new to Groups.io, like most here I am trying to set up to move my groups over from YahooGroups.? I am not savvy about this stuff, and I think I have already screwed something up.

I set up my new groups under this email, babmay11@ [isp1],?which is the email I want to use for every thing.? I did a test to subscribe my secondary email which is babmay11@ [isp2].? It did do that, but now when I am trying to go back to the webpage, it is using my gmail account as the ID email, and I can't get to the groups I set up under the babmay11@ [isp1] email.? HELP!

Thanks,

Barb B

Richard,

Thanks for the info. I've looked in the Email Delivery History for
quite a lot (but by no means all) of these members and it has never
shown anything at all.

That might be worthy of a report to [email protected] - I think it should say something even if only to tell you it can't show you info from another group.

(the group doesn't send any special notices or other non-post emails
that I've noticed).

The process of joining your group, whether transferred in, Direct ADDed, or otherwise would have sent them some notifications, and if these were rejected that would put them into bouncing. But that still should have shown something in their history.

I was surprised to discover that there are 3100 non-bouncing members
who have also opted for no emails, almost half the membership, so it's
obviously a popular option:

If these are members copied over from a Yahoo Group their delivery option would have been copied as well.

I'd be interested to know what their modus operandi for using the
group is, as periodically checking the website for new posts of
interest seems grossly inefficient to me. Perhaps I should ask them...

Mayhaps. I know there are many people who prefer web access. If your group has public archives the could be using an RSS feed for notification of new messages.

No.

?

That's not good. That long footer comes out in two sections. I put the URL of our website in the Message Footer section of my group and it's coming out between the two sections. Doesn't make sense and looks very strange. Also, many of the member of my group only have email access and don't even have Internet access at all, so none of the links in the automatic footer are useful to them. I was thinking of putting some of the email commands in the group's Message Footer section, for them to use, but it will be so long and if it comes out after the automatic footer, it's pretty much useless.

?

I will write to Mark about that. Do you think I should write to support or to the beta group?

?

There has been some discussion and requests for this on beta@, and (and possibly others.)? Both are now moderated, but you can still add comments if they're approved.? I don't see anything about it on yet, but that doesn't necessarily mean that Mark isn't aware/working on it.

Duane

I'm using Firefox Quantum v. 58.0 64-bit for Ubuntu, and only the two first icons show.? But I guess I can just use Chrome when I want to delete files -- everything else seems to work.

We're in the processing of migrating from yahoo groups - I have backed up a good chunk of our messages via PG Offline and am wondering if there's a way to transfer those to groups.io without having to go back through yahoo?
