Re: three yahoo groups to one GIO group?
#subgroups
#transfer
#yahoo
Roy,
The only thing special about transferring a Yahoo Group into a subgroup is that the Members of the Y!Group will be copied to both the subgroup and its primary group (except when a particular member's email address is already in the primary group). With that in mind I'd recommend performing the transfer of the primary group first, so that those memberships get copied from the main Yahoo Group. That will copy their Join Date, Email Delivery preferences, and Posting Privileges from primary Yahoo Group. If the subgroup were transferred first I'm not sure that would happen, I think those individuals would end up with default settings in the primary group.

Re: Is there a way to force "via groups.io"?
#issue
Pete,
Not true. While -some- email servers use the envelope-From in SPF validation, -all- Exchange servers (most enterprise and business servers including Office 365) use the actual from address as well since this is a common form of spoofing. Perhaps read "-some-" email servers as every email service other than those powered by Microsoft Exchange. I guess that explains our disparate perceptions: I'd have to guess that the vast majority of the members of groups I've moderated (and the groups those members have moderated) have been consumer users, with mailboxes provided by Google, Yahoo Mail, AOL, and others not based on Exchange. For these services I've only seen aligning the header-From with the envelope-From in conjunction with DMARC. So I had been unaware that there was an ongoing deliverability problem with Exchange-powered mailbox providers, if Mark mentioned that earlier I must have missed it. But that's where my perception that you were talking about a fringe case came from. I realize you don't like or have experience with Microsoft Exchange or its common deployment (it also does not directly implement DMARC), but it is the most used enterprise and business mail server. You are correct that I don't have much experience with Exchange. I don't really have a like or dislike opinion of it, the one Exchange-based email address I have is a PITA to use, but I believe that's mostly a matter of security choices made by my client. Example: no IMAP/SMTP access, I have to use their webmail interface. Oh, and I'm not subscribed to any email lists via that address - so I've had no exposure to whatever issues that might entail. ? BTW, Yahoo has always supported having groups show the From as being the group, not the user so it would pass server tests that the from is not improperly originating from a non-domain-owned mail server. Unless you mean the option to hide one's email and IP addresses, I've never heard of such a thing. Before that 2014 Yahoo Groups blog post I cited, all header-from addresses passed through Yahoo Groups unaltered -- as stated in the blog post. I have ten years of examples (2003 to 2013) from various Yahoo Groups consistent with that behavior. ? I guess I need to open this over on the beta group.? Thank you for letting me know where to go with this issue. You're welcome. All-in-all I'm sorry I didn't get back to you sooner when you said "crickets".

#cal-reminder
I'm confused, or missing something. I have a calendar event for 6 PM to 8:00 PM EDT (Philadelphia PA, which is in the same time zone as America/New York, so why does the calendar reminder have the line showing 04:00??
When: ? ? |

You can change the number of items you see per page.? Go to your Account, select Preferences, and change the Items Per Page setting.? Most of the time I use 50.? Infinite Scroll doesn't work on some items, like databases, but not sure if it works on Poll results.? If not, you may want to use 100.

Re: Disable Members from reading Messages from Homepage
Ilene,
In Yahoo I had the archives or conversations unavailable to members. I'd like to do the same thing for IO Groups ... That option is not available in Groups.io. I think your only option would be to post it in the official "suggestion box" as a new option for the Messages section:? At present, the only thing you could do to make them unavailable would be to delete them. But that would make them unavailable to the moderators/owners too.

Re: Hotmail post from owner rejected
Glenn,
No. GMF is purely user-to-user. It may be something they already know about, but since you seem to have checked the rational things to check, I suggest you send that same message to [email protected] Shal GMF Owner -- Help: /static/help More Help: /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki Even More Help: Search button at the top of Messages list |

Re: What does "Not Confirmed" mean?
The "not confirmed" concept is pretty straightforward but is rarely well-explained. In the following, I will often use the words "email address" and "account" interchangeably. In groups.io, they are the same thing.
It is possible to "create an account" (i.e.: a recognized email address) on groups.io by simply clicking on a subscription link. However, by this mechanism it is entirely possible to subscribe someone else's email address without their knowledge. The system needs to know two things at this point: 1) The person behind that email address really wants a groups.io account, and 2) The person is capable of receiving messages, or at least retrieving them in some way. To that end, a "confirmation email" is sent. Clicking on the link in that email confirms that at least one email got through and that the recipient really wants to receive more. At that point the "NC" status is removed and normal message delivery begins. "NC" status can also be removed if the user actually logs into groups.io using that email address. The presumption here is that the user will review group messages online; and might proceed to set their email delivery to "no email," although the latter is not a requirement to clear the status. To be absolutely clear, "NC" status is set for the account, not the group. Once an email address/account has cleared this once, that user can subsequently join other groups and receive messages immediately. More information on this than you might ever want to know can be found in the GMF wiki:??/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Status-Badges-in-the-Members-List? Those of you who feel this process to be a bunch of nonsense can override it all by paying for a Premium group and using Direct Add instead. Hope this helps, Bruce -- The system Help is your friend.??/static/help |

Can a monthly message be sent to the members automatically
#files
In Yahoo Groups, I had a letter with our group's guidelines that was stored in Files and automatically sent out each month. Does Groups.io have that feature? If so, would someone direct me to the site that has instructions on how to set that up? Thanks! |
