Re: Numbering of Transferred Messages
I think the numbers are assigned as they are entered into the group, so totally unrelated to the number they had on Y!
If you merge several groups, the first transferred will have the lowest numbers.? The second transfer will start where the first one stopped and so on.? The sorting will be by date and properly interspersed though.

Re: Database acting funny
Are sure about that, Duane? I'd asked Mark for granularity of row-editing permission as a suggestion but didn't realize it had been implemented yet. Last I saw, the edit permission for a database was for the whole table or nothing.

Re: Database Question/help
Only owners or moderators with the correct permissions can delete them.? If you allow members to create them, they can delete the ones they've created.

Good news!? This has been fixed per the latest Site Updates, "BUGFIX: Database table searches could return results from other tables in the same group."

No, that's not true in every group. I was answering the OP. His group is set to "new users moderated." You can have that set in your group or not. You do have to set at least one of the three "spam control" settings to yes: eithe restricted group, or new users moderated, all users moderated, or announcement-only group. But you can choose which one(s) you want. ? -- J

Re: Editing or updating files transferred from YahooGroups
There is no online editor for files, you have to download to edit.? Then you have to delete the existing file before uploading the changed file unless you change the file name.? Duplicate file names aren't allowed.? It will look like it's uploading, then give an error message.? There are changes planned according to the TODO list, but no time frame.
I suspect those files with the weird content were some that couldn't be copied due to a Y! error.? Only Mark would know for sure.

Editing or updating files transferred from YahooGroups
1,892 (!) files from our old YahooGroup were transferred yesterday.? Unfortunately, we cannot edit any of them.? We can update the file's (short) text description, but cannot find a way to edit the body of the file itself.?? The vast majority of the files are plain text. 1) Is there any way to edit the text of a file in group.io, and 2) If not able to directly edit a file, is there a way to replace the document with a newer version upload, so that instead of creating a new file and deleting the old, you can simply update the existing file? Further, in some of the bodies of the plain text files we see only a line like this below, no plain text at all.? Can anyone advise?? I couldn't find an answer in the Help pages or FAQ. Thank you, --Paula

Re: Instructions for Group Members?
Thanks for the suggestion to change the Welcome letter to be specific for current members who are being transferred, then update it later for new members when they join.

If two lists are combined, what happens to the numbers. Are messages always sorted by date so the number doesn¡¯t matter? We would like to combine 2 large lists and a couple of smaller lists.

Re: Way off topic, I think
Well, perhaps they may be interested in Mark Fletcher, the man behind Groups.io.
and
and his "old pretentious" page!?
If they have ever used Bloglines (I have) for RSS feeds, they have used another product from Mark.
And he developed ONElist that eventually turned into YahooGroups!

12 years ago the owner of our group went AWOL after appointing me a moderator with virtually no powers. (Cannot change the welcome message. Someone here had suggested to changethe Yahoo welcome message to send them to the IO group.)
After a few eMails ,Mark transferred everything over without any problems.
Mark's personal involvement is amazing.

Re: Instructions for Group Members?
I also explain in my group's welcome letter some of the differences between yahoo groups and (for former Y!G members) and how to login, etc.
Lisa,
? Once YG let [email protected]?become a moderator,the process was very smooth.? However I had created the group last July and didn't transfer until this January.? I already had a couple of hundred members who had joined the new group in anticipation of a YG? collapse and a move to ? What I didn't do and should have; was change the Welcome letter to reflect the transfer rather than what it had been telling new members that they were moderated and needed to explain why they wanted to join the group.? Only about 5-10% who hadn't been paying attention were confused by the Welcome letter, but it could have been avoided.? After the transfer, post an updated Welcome letter for new members who weren't from the old YG list.

Lisa, our 19 year old YahooGroup just migrated to Groups.io. I was very nervous about how our members would react to the move (we're mostly older people), but it turned out my anxiety was for naught. It was an almost seamless transition and our members got the hang of things very quickly. I agree. It¡¯s transparent. Instructions will just make it sound scary and difficult. The only thing is explaining the password thing. But don¡¯t bring it up until someone asks. All that information up front will just deaden everyone's mind.
