Re: Questions on Transfer Form
Stan,
In the Wine example I gave the drop down list of groups has None of my transfers were into groups that had subgroups, so I don't know. I'd probably choose the second as it seems less ambiguous (all of the subgroups are part of , whereas Wine alone seems to uniquely designate the primary group by its name). In the list of group names you get by dropping the "Your Groups" list the indentation and the icons make it clearer. In that list choosing the entry is a synonym for choosing "Wine". ? Also, I'm confused about the sequence. The instructions say send the invite and then uncheck all moderation privilages, if desired. There's an implied "wait for the transfer agent to accept the invitation" in there. ?

Re: What's going on here?
Not to make an issue about these unimportant bits of trivia, but I think people's experiences with the # symbol are different depending on where they are from, and by the times they lived in.

Re: Questions on Transfer Form
Stan,
1. It asks for the name of the group. I have subgroups. Assume the main group is called Wine and has subgroups. It would be listed in the drop down list when click on the field to enter the group name. I assume Support/Transfer will know Wine is the main group and that its email address is [email protected] and not [email protected]. Correct? That drop-list is a lot more poorly formatted than I remember. I thought the subgroups were indented or otherwise clearly identified as subgroups of the preceding primary group name. That could use some improvement. ? 2. I created subgroups but there is nothing from Yahoo that needs to be transferred to the subgroups. They are listed in the drop down list when I click on the field to enter the group name. I assume I just ignore the subgroups and just enter the main group, like I would do above. Is that correct? Correct. ? 3. I see there is now an option to not have the welcome message automatically sent to the members when the transfer is complete. If I understand this correctly, if uncheck this option, it will not send the automated message that gives a member the option to immediately unsubscribe Correct. ? and it will not send the welcome message that I created. That will still be sent, if Active. It used to be that it must also have been customized, but I don't think that matters now that there is an option to have no Welcome notice active. ? 4. The first sentence of step 4 says: "Come back here, select your transfer, and tell us that you are ready for the transfer to happen." On the transfer form there's an "In Process" drop-list over to the right of the green Start New Transfer button. Use the droplist to select the group in question. That will bring up an additional form for you to give the "Go" when you are ready. If I understand the new procedure, all I do is Step 0 - ? create the group (which has been done), Step 1 - Click the Start Group Transfer Process button (this associates
the Yahoo Group name with the target Groups.io group name, and with
your email address
(logged in
account) for notification at completion. Step 2 - Invited the [email protected] address to your Yahoo Group.
Step 3 - ? make [email protected] a moderator with all moderator privileges unchecked (which I will do), Step 4 - ? and then just submit the new form. You've already submitted the start transfer form (step 1), now you're using the In Progress form. ? I no longer send an email message to Support or [email protected] that the Yahoo group is ready to be transferred. Correct.

Re: Like a message - purpose?
If you look at an earlier post in this thread, you can see how it will appear; /g/GroupManagersForum/message/1604? If you liked it, it would say "You and 2 others liked this"? the '2 others' would be a link you could click on to see who they were.

Re: How Owner's Messages work
Unfortunately, there's currently no record kept on the group, though it's on the TODO list.? The best you can do for now, is select Bcc: Me or Bcc: All Moderators, or both.? If you select All Moderators, I think it only sends it to the others, but I'm not sure about that, so you may want to select both to make sure you get a copy.? You still can't be sure they got them, but you'll know it was sent.
You also won't see any replies unless you've chosen to receive Owner Emails in your subscription, as they'll be 'hidden' under Owner mails in that member's page. Duane -- Help: /static/help GMF's Wiki: /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki Search button at the top of Messages list |

Re: locking messages
#lock
Deb wanted: ?"I'd like to block viewing of some messages without actually deleting them. The example is blocking a discussion from being read after the fact except by the subgroup moderator."
I saw that there is a duration hashtag. I don't know if it works the way I thought it should - still testing with Deb's help. As I mentioned, Help says: Automatic time-out: If a hashtag¡¯s Topic Duration is set, topics tagged with it will be deleted (or, if specified, locked) after that period of time. This can be a useful feature when a topic will be obsolete after a certain amount of time, for example messages about items for sale. Anyone know how this works? Would it help Deb? Frances |
