 This is what Mark wrote yesterday in the beta group: " There's a large backlog of group transfer requests, and I'm trying to work through them. But what's difficult at the moment is that I'm getting a ton of duplicated invites to Yahoo Groups (I have 442 sitting in my mail queue at the moment). Apparently people are getting errors from Yahoo when submitting invite requests, and then submitting invites again, over and over. If you get an error, most likely the invite still went through and you do not need to submit an invite again. "

Debbie,

Last night and again this morning I tried sending an invitation to the [email protected] from my Yahoo Group that I want to transfer to ..
?
I received the following message response from Yahoo Groups.
?
¡°Sorry, an error occurred while loading the content.¡±
?
I tried sending invitations to one of my other email accounts and received the same response as the one in red above.
?
I sent an email to the GroupManagersForum earlier today but have not received a response.
?
My question was can I request an invitation from in any other way other than through the standard invitation process via Yahoo Groups.

Facebook Groups Integration - Possible Workaround?
I know this has been discussed before in several threads, but I'd love to see the powers that be make this more of a priority.? Why?? There is little value in Facebook page integration.? Since groups.io is for groups obviously, the primary need would be to integrate with a Facebook group as an extension of communicating with that group.? Being able to integrate with a facebook page is of little value, since a page is for an individual and has next to nothing to do with group communication. ? So that said, let me ask about a possible workaround.? If I share something from a facebook group into a facebook page, will it then allow it to be reflected onto a group here, or is it limited by the original facebook group page?? So the group I need to reflecting into groups.io I could potentially share into my own personal facebook page.? It's a messy workaround requiring an extra step, but it may be something we can do in the interim... assuming it works. ? So groups.io administrators, what do you say?? Have you tried this?

 You're supposed to send it from your yahoogroup, not your new group. "Transfer" has to be a moderator of the group to access the messages, member list, files, etc., in order to transfer them.???????????????????????? ????????????????????????????

Hi all. New Member, trying to take a group from Yahoo over here. We're 150 old guys. Literally. It's a retired men's group, with me being the youngest member.
I am trying to make the transition as easy as possible. While I like the hashtag idea, I think it would be great if the "add Hashtag" dropdown list would be available in the creation of a calendar new event. Is that possible now, but I am just missing it because I am old? Or is there a way to create a calendar event directly from a new message, which would allow for a "add Tags" dropdown?

All Posts Need Approval
#issue
Suddenly every post must be approved. Even my own posts.... I've apparently set something incorrectly somehow somewhere. But I've had no luck getting back to normal. Any ideas...?

Save Settings for Messages
I have a user who would like to always have her messages come up in the "messages" view as opposed to "topics."? she knows she can change this.? Is there anyway to preserve the setting?? It looks like it's saved as long as you're in the same session, but if you close out of groups.io and come back in, it's back to topics by default.?

Did you copy and paste the address Marina?
I did that of course and had the same problem but when I typed it in myself it worked.

In over 12 years I have not used the invitation process available in Yahoo
Groups.
?
I am having a problem, in one of my Yahoo Groups setting up the invitation
of [email protected]. Not only can I
not send an invitation to [email protected] but I cannot send an
invitation to other individuals that I would like to join one of my Yahoo
Groups. ?
Is there another way that I can invite [email protected] to join a Yahoo Group
other than the internal invite option inside Yahoo Groups..? ?

Messages from group hitting mailbox after hours
#issue
Messages from my test group reach my mailbox after many hours.
I sent a message via mail yesterday, it was shown in the group after a few minutes, but I received it in my mailbox only a few minutes ago.
My Preferences for that group are set to 'all mails' and my general Groups.io Account is set to receive a copy of each message I send.
Any idea what could be the problem?

Re: question about "promote" feature
I just found this, about how to embed HTML in a FB page. Anyone know if this is correct and up-to-date? Although??pages have a uniform look and layout, it's possible to embed custom HTML code into your?Facebook?page for a customized feel. On?Facebook, the Static FBML?app?is Facebook's official and only way to customize a page with HTML. FBML (Facebook?Markup Language) is Facebook's own proprietary, modified version of HTML, and the?app?also allows HTML code. With the FBML?app, any user can use HTML to enhance your page.
?
?
Log in to your??account. Go to your page where you want to embed HTML code.Click the "Edit Page" button in the top-right corner. On the next page, click "Apps" in the left menu.
Click "Browse more applications," located below the list of "Added?Apps" in the center. In the?App?search box in the left menu, type "FBML," and press "Enter."
?
Select the "Static FBML"?app?from the list of results. On the?app?info page, click "Go to?App." The "Request for Permission" page subsequently appears.
Click "Allow." From the drop-down menu, select your page. Click "Done."
Go back to your??page. Click "Edit Page" on the top-right of the page. Click "Apps" in the left menu. In the list of "Added?Apps," the "Static FBML"?app?will appear.
?
Click "Go to?App."
Enter your desired "Box Title" in the top box. This will be the title for the tab that appears for your FBML?app?in the left menu.
Enter your HTML code in the lower box entitled "FBML." Nearly all HTML tags are accepted here, so customize to your heart's content. Click "Save Changes" when complete.
Go back to your?Facebook?page. In the left menu, you'll notice a link with the same title you entered previously. Click this link. You have now embedded HTML on your?Facebook?page.

question about "promote" feature
Is there a way to use the "promote" HTML in a Facebook group? We have a FB group meant to draw people to our main groups.io group. It's not a blog or a website, so it's not evident to me how, or if, one can use the "promote" HTML text there. It would be nice to have a "subscribe" button to our main group on the FB group.

Re: How to recover a lost or abandoned Yahoo Group and transfer it to Groups.io
Yes, that is also my conclusion. It's? a shame...? Yahoo exists on the ads they run, so page views count, and by not helping to recover the Group they are abandoning lots of page views. Well, Yahoo is not known for clear thinking and good decisions and good customer support.? -Harry

Unfortunately you are not likely to get help from Yahoo on this.

Re: How to recover a lost or abandoned Yahoo Group and transfer it to Groups.io
Years ago I was able to get myself made the owner of a list the owner had abandoned. I don¡¯t know if Yahoo even has such an email for support now. I just explained the owner had moved and no one else was a moderator.

I too would love for a way for this to work, as this is one of the key integrations we need as well.? Iv'e got access to control of the Facebook group, so I could work something from that end as well.
