Re: Transferring a yahoo group in stages? #transfer

 

That makes sense about the membership needing to be there to link to the old messages.? So if we do all but the last step of the transfer, how do we initiate the e-mail to all the users with the info on how to setup their account on groups.io? Do I just run the transfer process again and simply just choose the last option? Sorry. Just trying to make sense of it all.?

Thanks,
Jeff
My own messages don't generate an email to me

 

So how does that work? I don't care, as a.) I know what I wrote, and b.) the activity log and message pages show the reply to an original post I made were posted. But in using my email client to answer some other mail, it occurred to me that I hadn't seen inbound mail from our group in reference to what I posted. The two replies, one was sent by email and the other was made from the web page, if it makes any difference.

Is there normally a delay in sending out emails when messages are posted? Is there an abnormal delay right now? It's been 45 minutes since the first post and normally I get the email with my own postings on the next refresh of my email client (which I have set to 1 minute updates). I haven't seen a delay before in the month and a half since we created the group on Grio, but it was quite common on Brand Y. Because come to think of it, I haven't seen any messages from anyone else in the group. Of course, it appears no one else has posted since I sent my last two.

Re: Simple question - is possible to print the Database Tables?

 

What constitutes a "downloadable file" depends on browser settings and available browser add-ons. For example, I have the Acrobat Reader add-on installed in my browser so PDF files are displayed...if I didn't have that, it would download the file instead. It is also possible to right-click on anything that displays in the browser (like a CSV file) and do a "save as."

If there's some way to countermand such browser settings on the server side, I'm not aware of it. Even if possible, I think it would be best if groups.io didn't get into the habit of trying to guess what I *really* want to do with the hyperlinked files that I click on.

Yes, but not quite the way you're thinking.

My understanding is that the Membership must be copied first in order to preserve each member's ownership of their messages and other content. Otherwise you (the one initiating the transfer) ends up linked as the contributor for all the content.

That said, you can uncheck the bottom box of the Transfer form so that no "You've been added" message is sent to the copied members. You can also make your group's Welcome member notice inactive so that isn't sent either. I think that will result in your group being copied over with none of your Y!Group members notified.

Then at a time of your choosing you'd be able to announce the changeover.

Transferring a yahoo group in stages? #transfer

 

We're in the process of transferring our yahoo group over and I was curious if it can be done in stages??
I'd like to move everything but the users over first to make sure it all looks ok, then move the users and send the e-mail as a final step. Can this be done?

Re: Yahoo transfer/Invitations/Subscribe by email conflicts? #howtoguide #membership

 

Dougsinc,

Update: I just sent 586 invitations and got the response "Once your invites have been approved, they will be sent out. You will receive a notification when this happens." Wondering, what is the criteria and how long it might take...

Mark is watching out for spammers, I don't know if there's a specific criteria.

In the past it has only been a few hours, but with the high level of activity lately I'm not sure.

Re: I want to change my owner's password to better protect my Visa Credit Card. I can't find a way to do this??

 

Dr. Denver Fox,

I want to change my owner's password ...? I can't find a way to do this??
?


When logged in as said owner:
o? In the upper right of any Groups.io page click on your name.
o? From the drop-menu select Account.
o? In the Password field enter a new password.
o? Click the blue Change Password button.

While logged in, click on your name in the upper right corner, then select Account.? On the page that opens, fill in the new password and click Change Password.

Re: Can someone explain to me... unsubscribed for marking a message as spam

 

The first part is self-explanatory - they (or their email service) marked a message as spam and cleared the spam folder.? The second is because when that happens an email is sent to them from groups.io explaining what happened, including a link to correct it.? There are several threads here recently about this very thing.

The person, or their email spam filter, marked a message as spam. That caused to unsubscribe them, simultaneously sending them a link to resubscribe. Then they resubscribed. There have been, like, hundreds of conversations about this here.

Can someone explain to me what the heck happened to generate [both] those messages????

Thanks!

Re: A few questions about transferring a group

 

I like to have at least 3 owners and registering one of my other Email addresses as owners.
I/We try to have mods/owners in various countries around the world so 'someone' is normaly around to approve messages

For this very reason, our Yahoo! group had two (then three) co-owners. When one died, the other was hard to get hold of, but having the third made it possible to continue and eventually transfer the group. We wouldn't have it any other way, so immediately upon creation of the new group, we made a co-owner of an trusted and active member.
