Re: Using BCC to Moderators
I got a message back from one of my Moderators and he said he hasn't received any of my test messages.
And just to be clear...what I was testing was BCC: All Moderators during the sending of a Member Notice. My groups have restricted membership and posts are never moderated, so I have not tested the same functionality in that context. I can't speak to what Yvette might have been doing at the time she first reported this. Very intrigued on this end as to what others will discover. Bruce |

Cannot create subgroup
#subgroups
I brought a few yahoogroups to groups.io last month and that is working well, including several subgroups.
I'm now working on setting up a new move with another yahoogroup.? After I setup the group, I went to create subgroup. When I hit add, a subgroup is not created.? I've refreshed.? Logged out and back in.? Does there need to be more members than just me on the main group before setting up subs? Thanks so much, Tammi |

Timing of calendar notices
In my group, calendar notices are sent when an event is listed in the calendar.? Is there a way to control WHEN the message is sent?? For a 7 PM event, reminders arrived at 7:30 PM.? Is there a way to have them sent earlier in the day?? A reminder after the event begins isn't very useful.? I can't seem to be able to locate setting for controlling the calendar.

Add an RSVP
You know you always have people who don't follow instructions... Recently I add an event to our group's calendar with an RSVP on it. A couple people RSVP'd appropriately...but then you have those knuckleheads who couldn't follow directions with a bloodhound, and either called or texted me or verbally responded that they are coming to the event.? Is there a way that a list owner or moderator can add RSVPs manually?? ? Kevin Conod kdconod@... |

I sent the invite, it's been accepted, and I've made the transfer address a moderator in my groups. When I go to the transfer page to click to give it the go ahead I get this message:I suspect this message means that the transfer agent has not yet received email confirmation from Yahoo stating that its membership application has been accepted. You might be able to see that it has in the group itself, but if Yahoo is having their usual server problems... The "integrations" line on your home page is for RSS feeds, linking with Facebook, etc (see Admin->Integrations). It has no bearing on the transfer process. Thoughts? I tried this last night and again this morning. I know, I know, patience is a virtue, lol. I just want to be sure I'm not adding the same request a hundred times when it went through and I didn't know it.I suggest waiting a couple of days. Given dash's recent report and yours, I suspect something may be up with Y!G again and it may take at least that long for things to sort themselves out. Good luck, Bruce |

Editing message problem
#issue
A group member sent a message with an incomplete URL. I had received the message through my mail.
I went to my group home and edited the message and fixed the URL. Then saved it. I had second thoughts and decided to go back and edit the message - actually just changed the reason for the change - and chose the other option: save and send it to the group members. When I received the revised message in my email, the URL was not hyperlinked. And oddly, neither were the footers. Any explanation? Expected behaviour? Frances |

WHAT?????? now????Are you sure you are logged in, at either Yahoo or here? Try logging out and logging back in again. Did groups.io email you a summary? It should have told you how many members, messages, etc were transferred along with a list of those that it wasn't able to move. If you haven't received this transfer summary then the move is probably still underway. Another possibility is that Yahoo itself had a massive system crash that lost all that information before the transfer agent even got there. In that case it's not surprising that nothing got moved. Based on your description of the symptoms, this seems like the most plausible explanation. I am assuming here that you made the transfer agent a Moderator (NOT an Owner), and with view-only permissions (per the transfer instructions). With those permissions it is not possible for the agent to delete your Yahoo group content.? If I were you, I would contact Yahoo and ask them where your group went. If they can restore it from a backup you should be able to submit your request to the transfer agent again. Just some ideas, Bruce |

Re: I am ALONE HELP! [after transfer from YahooGroups]
dash,
I moved my genealogy group.? I got notice it was moved.? I went to the members section and I am the only one that was moved.? I have NO pictures, NO files, nothing.? Are you sure you targeted the correct Groups.io group? Another member of GMF reported that his transfer went to the wrong Groups.io group. I suspect user error, but maybe there's something more to it than that. Have a look at other Groups.io group which you own and see if the content landed in the wrong group. ? I went back to Yahoo and my group is gone......all the hundreds of pictures I worked hours and hours and hours are gone, as are all my contacts.? I don't know what to tell you about the Yahoo Group. The transfer agent makes no changes to your Yahoo Group, so maybe that's just a glitch on Yahoo's end and your content will reappear. Or maybe you're signed out of Yahoo, or signed in with the wrong account? Shal -- Help: /static/help More Help: /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki Even More Help: Search button at the top of Messages list |
