The OP may have requested and meant this, but Shal, do you know of any other situation where "DM" is not synonymous with "PM" - or, to put it in the terms above, where moderators have and can access record of these conversations? I don't know of any. Facebook, Twitter, DM or PM, these messages are private. I think the OP's request is unusual in the sense that it rarely exists, AFAIK, and as far as other users know, and I'd be surprised if Mark would even consider implementing it, if it includes the means for moderators to see these messages. I think no user would expect that a record of their DM's, or PMs, or whatever they'd end up being called (regardless of whether the word "private" is explicitly used) would be available to moderators. And I think it should not be available. ? -- J

Yes. Got to Admin->Settings->Privacy and select "not listed in directory, private archives. Under Spam Control select "Restricted Membership." Be sure to save your changes.

If so what happens if a new "owner" tries to use the same group name?
I believe they will get an error message stating that name is unavailable or previously used. Someone who has actually experienced it could tell you for sure...but they way groups.io sets up URLs and list addresses such duplicate names would cause all kinds of collisions. Bruce

Re: messages between individuals
Deb, The thought behind my request was that it would be good for us to have
a record of the side conversations in IO. What kind of record are you imagining? One thing would be to have an entry in the group's activity log that gives the basic metadata of the message: who and when, and maybe the Subject line. Notably, the existing Private reply mechanism does not do even that: no activity log entry is created. A much more comprehensive thing would be to have a message list somewhere that includes the content of the messages.

Re: messages between individuals
Duane, markus, In that case, a chat could work. If you have a record, I don't see
how it could be considered a Private Message though. That pesky word "private" again. Note that Deb, the OP, asked for an on-site means to _direct_ message from member to member - privacy was not mentioned, and in her follow up she said that idea behind the request was to have a record of the side conversation. So complete privacy is explicitly not desired in her use case. In fact, given her goal none of the existing mechanisms are suitable - except maybe for chat. Direct emails are recorded nowhere except by the individuals involved, and the Private reply feature in Groups.io does not create a record of what was said.

I think it's important to note the difference between "Reminders" and "Notifications".? ?In general, I find the "Add Reminder" button to be by far the most flexible method, as Shal suggested.?
Note that the "Send Invite to Group" if checked will send an iCal Invitation immediately upon posting your event.? While this can be helpful, it's also possible that you will receive a bunch of invitation acceptance notices, since it's not simply a notification, it's an Invite.? (I'm actually not sure where any such acceptance notices would go.)
On the other hand, the "Send Notice to Group when Event Happens" button will send a notice (if I understand correctly) at the time and day that the event occurs.? In our case, it's much to late to notify or even remind anyone who cares to participate.? So I generally don't see much use for this one unless someone is just down the hall and needs to be awakened to join a meeting that's just begun.
So we just do a little arithmetic and use the "Reminders" feature to send a calendar reminder at an appropriate lead time before the event, as Shal has suggested.
I do wish that there was a way to pre-set the calendar settings to a default for a group, such as automatically displaying the Week rather than the Month; having a default Reminder lead time, etc.? That was one of the good features of Yahoo - far outweighed by their constant meddling and outages!
Regards, Bill (A relatively new user/owner - just migrated our 165 member group from Yahoo last month, so still learning)

Interesting and helpful
Can a group be private and unseen by the community generally,
thus only available by invitation.
If so what happens if a new "owner" tries to use the same group
name?
Thanks

You need to set up your Groups.io group.
None of the group settings are copied from the Yahoo Group. Nor is
the cover image, description, or other home page info.
When you start the transfer process you'll be given a form that
asks for the Yahoo Group name, has a drop-list for selecting the
target Groups.io group, and a list of checkboxes for what content
to copy. Email attachments and Calendar events are two types of
content that are excluded from that list.
Some notes about the Membership list - each member's Delivery
selection (Individual, digest, etc.) and Posting Privilege (group
default, Moderated, Not Moderated, etc.) will be copied along with
their Join Date and email address.
One important exception: any email address that is already present
in your Groups.io group will not be copied, nor will its
subscription info. That means, for example, that if you use the
same email address in your owner role in both groups, your "Join"
date won't be copied from the Y!Group. If that's important to you
then you should promote an alternate email address to owner of the
Groups.io group and unsubscribe your primary address prior to
starting the transfer.
Myself I didn't bother to be concerned about my join date, nor did
any of the Y!Group moderators who I had invited to join the
Groups.io group and become familiar with it before we initiated
the transfer. We spent a couple weeks exploring the Groups.io
group and how its settings work before transferring over the Yahoo
Group. Of particular interest are the Member Notices - those play
roughly the same role as the scheduled files in Yahoo Groups
(notices for Pending, Welcome, Removed, Left etc.).
Your Y!Group co-owners and moderators will copy over as ordinary
members. You will need to promote them and set their moderator
permissions anew in the Groups.io group.
Another exception is email addresses listed as "Bouncing" in the
Y!Group - they will not be copied. It is possible (likely with a
group that large) that Yahoo Groups will have made mistakes in
determining the Bouncing status of some email addresses. Some of
those listed as "Bouncing" might actually be fine. You can invite
them to the Groups.io group after the transfer if you are
concerned about that.
Also, some of the email addresses not listed by Y!Groups as
"Bouncing" will turn out to be bad. Those will promptly become
bouncing in the Groups.io group. There's no pressing need to worry
about those, the Groups.io's bounce tracking will identify them
and set their status accordingly.
