Re: owner getting every message posted
Peter -- I see nothing here that would explain your problem. I do see that you have subgroups. I don't, and am glad. They seem to be nothing but a headache. Perhaps someone here who has subgroups has experienced this same problem and can jump in. At this point I am completely stumped.
Sorry, Bruce |

No one else is having this problem.Is your group moderated? If so, you will get a copy of each message as it is posted so you can perform your function as moderator, regardless of your Email Delivery settings. To turn that off, open your Subscription settings again and scroll down to Notifications. Unclick the box that says "Email when there are messages needing approval." I admit this is a stab in the dark. If you continue to have problems, sending us a screenshot of your settings may be the best way to go. Regards, Bruce |

Re: owner getting every message posted
Sorry, I'm thinking I wasn't very clear. ;)
I'm the owner of the group, and I have only one account.?I have my subscription set to "Full Featured Digest". Yet every time someone posts, I get an email as if I am set to "Individual Messages".? No one else is having this problem. Obviously I have two email addresses - my owner address ([email protected]) and my regular email address (soandso@...). So I am wondering if this has something to do with me being the owner as opposed to a regular subscriber and whether the settings are different for one vs. the other.? |

How can I set my group to allow all members to post as soon as they join??This capability was taken away after spammers "found" groups.io and things started to get out of hand. Letting spammers use groups.io as a means to get their messages out is a very undesirable situation for everyone. Forcing group owners to select at least one of the Spam Control settings seemed like a small price to pay to avoid getting the whole domain blacklisted. If you don't want to do any moderating it might be a little easier to make the group Restricted and just approve the applicants instead of their messages. Your mileage may vary. Regards, Bruce |

Re: Rename Group didn't work
Hi, Bruce;
Yes, you have been HIGHLY HELPFUL, and I THANK YOU for your efforts!? I will attempt to re-name my little group soon, but before I do this, I must ask the users for assistance or suggestions on what the new name should be. Again, THANKS for your clear and complete suggestions, Bruce.? I have not yet followed the link that you had also added in your reply to me, but I will as soon as I complete this note to you. -Mike- |

When a new person joins, I must manually allow this person to post.The way you're doing it, that person will never have a message moderated.? If a problem such as a flame war comes up, you'd have to change each member to keep them from posting.? A better way is to go to your group settings, scroll down to the Spam Control section, and turn off the New Users Moderated box.? If you don't require approval to join the group (first box), you won't be able to turn it off since at least one box in that section must be checked.? If you leave the New Users Moderated box checked, just change the value below it to 1.? Then you'd need to approve the first post from each person, but only once.? By using the New Users Moderated choice, they'll revert to the group setting based on the Moderated box, so no further moderation unless you turn that on later.

Re: owner getting every message posted
If you have 2 accounts, one for owner and one for member, then each will have separate settings on the Subscription page.

Re: Premium Plan coverage?
Yes, any subgroups are included in the summary of features for a group.

Re: SOME HELP FOR THOSE UNDERGOING A TRANSFER

Thanks for the guideline.? but have one dumb question.? How pray tell does one check ones file and photo allocations for size in Yahoo?Go to your Yahoo group logged on as Owner. If you open the Files area there should be a line at the top that says "using xxx bytes of maximum yyyMB" (or whatever). Now click on Photos and open the Albums, where you should see a similar line. To be safe, also do this for the Photomatic section (I really am not sure what this even means). To my knowledge only the Files and the Photos in Albums are transferred; so add these numbers up and you should have a reasonably close estimate.? I believe Yahoo limits are 100 MB for files and 100 GB for photos. Groups.io limits depend on what plan you are on; free groups are limited to 1 GB total. If you have a lot of big photos in your group you could easily end up over your allocation. See /static/pricing Another thing to look into:? If you establish a maximum size of photos in photo albums in groups.io, larger photos will be rescaled during the transfer and that may help you remain under the limit.?I suggest that 1024x1024 should be adequate for viewing online; those subscribers with a real need to share print-quality images can always upload them to cloud storage and send a link instead. See Admin->Settings->Features->Photos->Max Size in Photos Section.? Hope this helps, Bruce? |

Re: owner getting every message posted
It may be that your service is set to permit postings by individuals, but only after the first message has been moderated.? I am in this situation, also.? -When a new person joins, I must manually allow this person to post.
Sign in, go to ADMIN, then MEMBERS;? Look for the new member, click on the (??-I forgot) button, then scroll down to see the several options for this person.? Click on the second option from the top of this short list of about five at the end of the settings for this individual.? I have found that I must do this each and EVERY time that I get a new member that has joined!? I had read earlier that the .io was allowing all messages, without moderation, yet I must moderate every new member!? How can I set my group to allow all members to post as soon as they join?? (Maybe I am misinterpreting the basic setup; I am able to manage OK, but it was a surprise to me.)? (!!) -Mike- |

Re: Error in Transfer Request needing explanation
#transfer
Dan,
This 3rd one is the only one I need and you can ignore the other two.Please be aware that GMF is a user-to-user help group. There are no Groups.io employees reading this list. Your comment should be directed to [email protected] instead. But before you do that, if you see the same Yahoo Group listed more than once in the "In Process" list (and I'm not certain that's possible) you might want to check each in turn and cancel the requests you don't want.

Good day;Yes, they will continue to be subscribed and receive group emails according to their current subscription settings.? - Will the users need to change the bookmarked URL to reflect the new user group name, or is this somehow accommodated automatically?Users will indeed need to change the URL in their bookmarks. The email address is also changed, so they will also have to update the group address in their email client. Also, any links to group content that appear in the message archive or in previously-received emails will now point to never-never land (404 not found).
