Multiple owner email addresses/accounts is a necessary safeguard to ensure you can recover from problems (accidental account deletion, kicked off for spam, owner passes away, etc.). I kinda like this idea for Moderator activities, though (i.e.: managing messages and subscriptions). It would indeed help avoid duplication of effort.?

Sorry, Chris, but I do not understand your question.? Please reframe or restate it and I'll try to answer.? What do you mean by "the system provided by Groups.io"?

Milt

I believe the nearest choice is actually 1024x1024.? There shouldn't be any problem increasing that after the transfer, it will just use up space faster.? If you haven't already, try uploading a few photos using different settings for the limits.? You may find that the upload size isn't as important as some people think.? I've got a couple of my groups set to 312x312 and we haven't missed anything yet.? Actual displayed size on a 19" computer screen is about 720x720.

So now that or group is in the transfer queue, our photo archive is too big for the free 1 GB ... we're at 1.8 GB.? The transfer agent says we can cut that down to about 300 MB if we reduce photo size to 1080x1080.? We're OK with that for the old photos but not necessarily Ok for new photos.

But an idea is to set photo size to the 1080 for the transfer, then? once the transfer is completed we reset the settings to allow larger photo for new photos.? Question is, will that work? Want to be sure before we do this.


TIA, Mike Conder

Looks like the roadblock was not being an owner for the io group.? The current owner made me an owner and the transfer is in progress.

True.
However, Groups.IO honours FBL notices that it receives, which tends to
minimize such damage.

By using our own dedicated IP through our email delivery partner, our sender reputation is our own.

I _think_ that is available with Enterprise Subscription.

I don't know how well it would it would integrate with the services your
current email delivery partner provides.

My suggestion is to make of each and everything that your email delivery
partner provides, that you either currently use, or wish that they
provided, and see how many of them are currently available through
Groups.IO, with an Enterprise Subscription.
For each and every item that is not available from Groups.IO, file an
RFE, explaining what the item is, how your organization uses/will use
it, and how it benefits both Groups.IO and you.

While I fully agree with the above principle is the system provided by Groups.io (more or less identical to what was provided by Yahoo not simple enough?

Perhaps I have missed something.

Michael,

I'm owner and chief moderator for a 750-member group with a total of five moderators.? We draw up an annual schedule and each moderator takes a shift of two weeks or a month at a time--so we have a "duty moderator" and a backup on duty at all times.? That means each moderator has about 10 weeks on duty as moderator and another 10 as backup, not at all burdensome.

To keep group management simple, we created a single Gmail account for all five moderators to use.? For example, if our group were named ABC the email address would be ABCmoderator@....? About 99% of our moderator work is done using that Gmail account, and that means any time there's a question about what was/was not done by another moderator, the duty moderator can look back at past emails and sort out exactly what happened with only occasional need to ask other moderators for help.? Having that Gmail?account for our multi-moderator group has simplified our?moderator lives and has been a godsend.

KISS (keep it simple, stupid!) works great for us!

Milt Baker

P.S.? I added a group_management hashtag to this post hoping other moderators will pass along useful group management tips.? As this forum shows, there's a lot we moderators can learn from one another.

On a Mac, that is Flower-Shift-=, the same as Flower-+. Enlarge.

Anyone that can make [email protected] a moderator on the Yahoo group can do a transfer.? It looks like you need to be the group owner here, based on the instructions.

Can a groups.io moderator initiate a transfer from Yahoo, or does one have to be a group owner to do that?? Or does one have to be a Yahoo group owner?? Or both?

Mike Conder

No changes needed if you just want to reply to an individual from time to time.?
On the group site - click to reply. Type your answer. Then click on Private - bottom right. Follow through.
From your email, you likely have a reply to sender in the footer. Just to show you, I will email this first privately to you!

They?can always take?their mouse and?cursor ?and place the cursor?on the page and click on the ctrl and scroll with their mouse to enlarge the page. I do that a lot when there is small print. Ilene ? ? ? ?

That would be on the group Settings page.? Scroll down to Message Policies, then change it in the Reply To box.

Hi,

How do I change the default reply that subscribers get to the individual who sent the request, rather than the whole group? Does this make sense? I'm looking for a default "reply to sender" vs default "reply all."

Thanks,

Have you received the notification that the invitation was received by groups.io?? If not, you should send it again.? If you have, just wait until you get the notice that 'transfer' is a member so you can make them a moderator on your Yahoo group.

Hello - I am a new member of this group. I am a member of two groups that transferred over from Yahoo, and I am the administrator of a group on Yahoo that is considering moving over to Groups.io.

We have a couple of members who are vision impaired, and they have asked if there is a way that, when they view their messages from the Groups.io site, they can make the font size larger so that it is possible for them to read the message. Is there any way that the member can change the font size of the messages they are reading? Or a way that a member can have everything on the site in a larger font?
