Re: Transfer only messages & files
Hi Duane, thank you for your quick reply. I'm not sure what you mean - will I be the OP in the archives/files etc., instead of the actual sender?
Kind regards,
Marga

Re: Transfer only messages & files
My recommendation is to transfer the group and weed out the non-participants afterward. The transfer itself will do a lot of it for you.

Re: GROUP SETTINGS OPTION ¨C Automatic Post Removal After a Period of Time . . .
On my groups, I created a hashtag of #ForSale for just this purpose.? At the end of One Month, the thread is deleted.? Some folks forget to include it on the Subject line, but it's not too much trouble for me to add it when I notice that it's needed.? You also have options of One Hour, One Day, One Week, One Year, or Forever.
There has been discussion on the beta group about possibly having a Classified area (as a new side bar menu item) available on groups as an option.? If that happens, I hope it will offer options to cover most situations.

GROUP SETTINGS OPTION ¨C Automatic Post Removal After a Period of Time . . .
Since I have not seen this addressed on here I searched but culd not discover whether there is any setting anywhere with which to flag a member's post so that it is removed or hidden after so many days or months, etc., (including any attached photos)?
Under: Admin > Settings > Message Policies > Reply To . . . ¨Ctwo of the options are: ~ Automatically Moderate Topics Older than. . . AND ~ Automatically Lock Topics Older than . . . BUT . . . In the past on one of our old groups we asked our members to remove their old ad posts if the item had been sold or if they posted an updated ad, but there was never much compliance with taking down the older ads. So we would wind up going in periodically and removing those ad posts older than several months. It would free up space and unclutter searching if old posts of this sort were automatically removed ¨Csay, after about 3 months¨C which seems a fair amount of time to leave a free ad post in place. And we woud no longer have to rely on the members to remove their old ad posts. Or would an automatic post removal option be at all possible maybe by using a hashtag that a moderator could apply to a post which would then remove the post after a certain amount of time? Just pondering here . . . TIA Paul M. CRL Moderator == |

Re: Footer Messages
Marie Alline
Thank you for your response! I don't know if this is going to be a great idea! One of my members thought that I wanted her to leave and unsubbed from my group. She absolutely did not want that in the footers of her email. Can't they just use the hyperlink without the addresses of the recipients??
Thanks, Marie Alline -- Marie Alline |

Re: Transfer only messages & files
You can certainly do that.? BUT, by default, none of the information will be 'owned' by the original poster, it will all be owned by you.? If they've joined the new group using the same email as they had on YG!, it should tie them together.

Transfer only messages & files
Hello,
I'm moving a very old group from Yahoo and want to "weed out" the people who no longer participate, so I'd rather not transfer the members automatically. Can I skip that part of the process and only have Groups.io transfer messages, files and photo's? With many thanks, Marga |

Re: New subscribers and closed groups
There has been a lot of discussion here and on the beta group about having this capability.? For now, most are using the Pending Subscription message, though it does add a step and a bit more work for owners/moderators.

That's Step 2, so I assume you've also taken Step 1 to set up the transfers.
As Gerald mentioned there is a backlog of groups to be transferred, so two
weeks may not be out of line.
?
If you haven't, see also Bruce's step-by-step process
And the additional tips here:
?
? > I have given the IO groups the same names as the Yahoo groups.
?
So it looks like you've got Step 0 covered. By the way, it isn't
required that you name the groups the same, so if you want to change any
now would be the best time.
?
I notice that your Y!Groups are related in content matter, so I thought
I'd mention that it isn't required that there be a 1:1 match-up between
Yahoo Groups and Groups.io groups. You can copy two Y!Groups into the
same Groups.io group, and you can copy a Y!Group into a subgroup of a
Groups.io group. So you have some options there if you want to re-think
the structure of your groups.
?
If you want to make any of those changes you can still do so up until
the time you give the final go-ahead on each group's In Process page
(Step 4). There's an update button on the page that will allow you to
change your copy options, and I believe that includes the Groups.io
group selection (but not the Y!Group name IIRC).
?
? > It is my understanding that when you accept the invitations that I
? > have sent you, you will notify me so I can make you a moderator.
?
Please note that GMF is a user-to-user forum - no Groups.io employees
here. That said, yes. In Step 3 the transfer agent will send you an email
with instructions. And then in Step 4 you use the In Process page for each
Y!Group to tell the transfer agent that you're ready to go.
?
? > By the way, you have the word 'clicking' misspelled at
? > /yahootransfer
?
Bug reports go to [email protected], and the official suggestion box for
Groups.io is the beta group:
?
? > Hugs and thanks for any help on my group transfers you can give me.
?
You're welcome. Feel free to reply back to this group if you have more
questions or comments.

I think the only thing missing is likely patience. The queue is quite long (several weeks) at this time.?Take a scan through recent postings and you'll see that many others are in the same boat.? --? Gerald [subject line edited to maintain thread, excess quote trimmed by moderator] ?

New subscribers and closed groups
On my Yahoogroups, I required a new subscriber to write a short statement to say why they would like to join the group. If the statement was topical to the group they were joining, then I knew they were legitimate and not joining to spam the group and approved the subscription. I don't seem to find that feature on . is it there and I am missing it? Marty |

Re: Sad link on home page of

Mark; I don't know if someone has quietly done an edit but when I tried that link from the wiki page (approximately 7 minutes after your post was moderated) it worked as intended.

Re: Sad link on home page of

A couple of links on the Wiki Home seem to have gotten corrupted recently, so I've fixed them.? The one for Databases should work again.? BTW, anyone can edit a Wiki page, no need to report it, just fix it. ;>)

Sad link on home page of
#wiki
In this groups Wiki home page, the link for "Setting up a Database (updated Nov 24, 2016)" takes me to the page for "How To Stop Getting Two Copies Of Emails You Send". It didn't offer very much information or advice about databases on Groups.io. Could someone with Wiki skills perhaps correct the link? It probably doesn't need the "updated" text, either. - Mark |

Re: Request for someone with a test group that has subgroups...
#subgroups
Don,
Thanks for the comprehensive results! In my opinion, this flow could use use some attention. At the veryI concur. (Personally, I'd prefer that the user need to approve the request toThat's always the precondition, so I'm inclined to go the other way: try to automate it so that the subgroup request/join completes seamlessly, folding the primary group subscription into the flow. The question then comes down to how to keep the user properly informed along the way. Perhaps the communications to the user could refer to both in the form of "xyz, a subgroup, and its primary group abc". Also the initial account email confirmation should not reference theAgreed, but with a preference that the solution be in the form of making it part of the the deal. I think. Thoughts?I think you've established a good base of knowledge for rewriting your "bottom line" in the form of a proposed set of changes to the flow that could be posted in beta. I like to give Mark as detailed a proposal as I can muster, both to be more sure that what I'm proposing is actually reasonable and to (hopefully) make it easier for him to decide to "just do it". ;-) See also this thread about the same issue: /g/GroupManagersForum/topic/20817618 and the matching beta post: You could follow up that one or start another.
