rejecting a membership application

 

If I reject a membership application to my group, will that person get a rejection email? I vet people applying to my private IO group to keep out spammers. I always send a message to the applicants, if I don't recognize their email address, asking for their interest in my group. One person applied with two different emails. After finding out who she is from another member, I approved one of the memberships. But now I'd like to get rid of the second email address in my pending members list but I don't want to confuse the member with getting an email saying she was rejected.

Another Snag

Pam
 

Hello Everyone!

Soooo glad this group is here, and that there are so many knowledgeable people! It seems I've hit another snag with a couple of my groups. Several transfers have gone smooth as silk, but now...Well, we all know how Yahoo does sometimes...

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:

Before we can being the transfer, you must make the [email protected] user a moderator of your group. If you already have done so, please click the 'Give Go Ahead To Transfer' button again, as Yahoo can be flaky.

I click again, and get the same message. When I check these two groups in .io I'm trying to transfer, it says "No Integrations". I don't want to click this a hundred times and muck up the works, lol. But should I keep trying until I don't get that message anymore? I'm assuming that since it says "No Integrations" that it's not going through.

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.

Thanks!

Pam :)


Re: A whole week?

 

You will receive a summary email describing what the transfer agent was able to accomplish. Generally speaking members and the message archive transfer well but you could have a few files or photos that don't make it.?

This message comes from Mark, but I don't recall what the "From" line says. Try searching on YOURGROUPNAME[email protected]?in the To: line.

Again, depending on transfer backlog, this could take a day or two. I think Mark runs some scripts or something but the process does not appear to be fully automated.

Re: A whole week?

 

I just found that the transfer has been accepted but I have not received notification of anything from IO groups. Who will the notification be from? I have a lot of email and I could have missed it.

Thanks so much,

It's just something you can have prepended to the subject line to help your subscribers identify messages that have been posted to the group.?Thanks for asking this question, though. It never occurred to me until now that I could edit this in the Settings.

Re: Help please......

 

Actually, if you have Pending members, that button will say Pending Approval. In any event click on the blue button immediately above "DIsplay Name."

Re: What is a Subject Tag?

 

It's a hashtag in the Topic (Subject) field for a discussion. Hashtag = # (hash character) followed by a word or string of words. For example, #bug #important #wishlist are all hashtags.

Why? Groups.io can list all topics having the same hashtag.

Now?I do have the Admin/Member in my sidebar but it?has a checkmark by Pending and only 1 person under members.? On my Home Page it says?I have 15 members.? How do I find them?
If there's a Pending member, by default it will display only the one who is pending, on the premise that you might want to take action.?

The Members button at the top of the screen is a pull-down menu. Click on that and select Members.

Re: #poll Creating Polls #poll

 

"OK; then I suggest that you check the settings for the Poll hashtag to make sure that it isn't set to Moderators only. Chris"

No the hashtag is not set to moderators only. In the admin settings, polls are set to 'only moderators can create', I've gone to each poll to the edit button to check and nothing is blocked. When I go to my hashtags and click on the edit button under #poll the only box that's checked is "Reply to sender".? I really don't know what the problem would be.

Thanks so much for trying to help. Any other suggestions?


What is a Subject Tag?

I looked in Wiki and searched a little here but didn¡¯t come up with an explanation. I just want to know ... what is a subject tag?

I've been assuming it is [my group¡¯s name] but don¡¯t know the purpose.

Re: Files section #files

Is it possible you are logging in with a different email address than the one registered as owner?
For example, I don't see Admin on this group because I am not an owner or moderator of this GroupManagersForum group.

Re: Help please......

 

Becky, you may be logging in from the wrong email address - not the one that you used as owner.?
If you wish to log in with a second email address from time to time, you can add an email alias - in Account, Advanced Settings from the top right corner of the webpage.

Re: Moving from Yahoo #transfer

 

Mike,
When your invitation is accepted, you will be notified by Yahoo that they have joined and will get an email telling you to make [email protected] a Moderator with limited priveleges.

I have invited [email protected] to my Yahoo Group. It reports "1 invitation sent successfully" but I don't see that email address in my members list. Is there any way of knowing whether things are in process at groups.io?


Re: Help please......

 

Hi Becky,

I'm guessing that you may not be logged into your group. I've attached a "Helper pdf" that I made for the groups I transferred. Of course the reference it for the MonGenes group but holds true for any group.

Becky,

If you can't see the Admin option, then either your account no longer has Owner/Moderator Rights or you are logged in as a regular subscriber under a different account.
