Yes. Are there different subscriptions settings for me as the owner vs. me as a subscriber?

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?

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.)? (!!)

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.

Shal
GMF Owner

You will need to send this note to [email protected]. GMF is a peer group and we try to help each other but the guy who is running the show does not participate in this forum.

Good day;

I would like to change the name of my .io group to reflect the new model radios that appear, which fall into the SDR (radio) category;

If I do change the NAME of the user group:

- Will the users still receive the previously set up emails from the group with no interaction or update needed?? (I am assuming this is the case.)

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).

Hi,

Question:? If I subscribe to the Premium Plan for a Group does that also cover the subgroups as well?

Thanks -- Dan

Just some help for those undergoing a transfer right now (and experiencing some frustration).

• The transfer is not fully automated (it requires solving a CAPTCHA).?
• There is one person who does this, and he has been on vacation for the past 10 days. Thus, a 400-group backlog.
• When Yahoo servers act up (as they often do), it causes further delays.
• Free groups here are limited to 1 GB of file and photo storage. This is significantly less than Yahoo.

Things you can do.?

• Check your file and photo allocations in Yahoo beforehand and plan accordingly.?
• Understand that attachments to messages will not be transferred. This includes any photos in the Photostream.
• Invite the transfer agent to your YAHOO group (step 2 of the instructions)
• Invite the transfer agent to your YAHOO group (step 2 of the instructions)
• I'll say it again:? Invite the transfer agent to your YAHOO group (step 2 of the instructions)
• Make the transfer agent a Moderator in your YAHOO group (step 4). You should have received an email telling you to do this.
• THEN give the go-ahead for the transfer
• Be patient
• Be even more patient

How do I know that I'm done?

• The transfer agent will send you an email telling you that. This email will also tell you what it was able to transfer (and often, what it was not)
• If you're over the storage allocation limits, the agent will stop and send you an email asking you what you want to do.

These two say they are waiting on action from me. Having already tried to go ahead a dozen times or more, maybe this is an issue for support?

It very well could be.

Free groups are limited to 1 GB of server storage (see?/static/pricing?).? Large Yahoo groups may have more than that in stored files and photos.?If so, the transfer agent will stop your transfer and send you an email asking you what you want to do.

The first thing I would do is go to Yahoo and check your file and photo allocations. If it looks like you could be over the limit, look for this email in your inbox and/or follow up with support.

Hope this helps,
Bruce

You are looking on your Yahoo group, right?? That's shown in step 4 of /yahootransfer

Unless you are an owner of the group, you will need to have the proper permission set for your account to access the complete list.? If you have that, you can go to Admin > Members, then select the Download button at the top.? That will open the list on screen as raw data in CSV format.? You can then save it to a file to be opened in a spreadsheet program such as Excel or LO Calc.

Mark mentioned on the beta group a couple of days ago that he's working on a full group export feature that he hopes to launch soon.
