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! |

Re: Timeline for group transfers
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýMight ?it help if instead of sending an invite we did a direct add to the yahoo group mailing list? ?I think that still works.?

Re: Timeline for group transfers
Mark was on vacation for about 10 days and transfers were on hold during that time because they require manual intervention.? There was a backlog of about 400 transfers when he returned.? Depending on the backlog, size of the groups transferring, and a few other variables, it can take some time for your group(s) to get to the top of the queue.? I'd give it 2-3 weeks after you get the notice that the invitation has been received.? From what I've heard, that can seem like forever as things on YG continue to deteriorate.? Makes me really glad I moved here over 3 years ago before transfers piled up! ;>)

When you referred to the "member page" I take it that you meant "Pending Member" page. There is a difference. On a group that doesn't have restricted membership (no approval needed), they become a member, but have an NC by their name.? There is a Pending Approval page on these type groups, but there's never anyone shown there.
