Re: New subscribers and closed groups

For now, most are using the Pending Subscription message, though it does add a step and a bit more work for owners/moderators.I'm slightly puzzled about where the additional work comes from. Setting up a Pending Subscription member notice takes no more than a few minutes, and reading the response to it (assuming one actually turns up!) probably takes no more than a few seconds before deciding whether or not to admit any given applicant. The group I moderate does this, and if there is a perceived need to do it (or something else akin to it) then a little bit of additional work is unavoidable. If owners or moderators find this little extra work intolerable then perhaps they shouldn't be owners or moderators... Chris |

If you see the message, but it hasn't been accepted, that's not a problem, just wait.? Wait time can be up to 3-4 weeks, depending on the backlog.? There was recently a wait time added while Mark was deciding on the message transfer limit.

Uploading list of members to remove?

I believe it's a common courtesy approach.?

This certainly bewildered me when I first came across this behavior and I see many more bringing it up here. I feel I should not have to make my profile public just to view a public profile. So, to me and many others, the Directory is useless. Well, not entirely, as I could also sign up with a "disposable" account to view the Directory. -- Gerald |

I can¡¯t parse out the problem, but you might check out the wiki which talks about directory vs members¡¯ list. /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Directory-and-Members-List Frances |

#directory
#directory
I am a new manager, and I am hoping someone can answer a question for me.
A member of my group chose the following profile privacy setting: Subscription>Group Profile>Edit Group Profile>Profile Privacy>Only group owners & moderators Then the member tried to view the Directory, and was unable to do so. Instead, she got the following message: This member directory is only visible to members of your group. In order to view the member directory, you must change your to either Other Members of Your Group, or to Public. I would think that the member's privacy setting choice would prevent other members from seeing her profile in the Directory. But why would that privacy setting prevent her from seeing the Directory entirely? FYI - when the member switches the profile privacy setting back to this Subscription>Group Profile>Edit Group Profile>Profile Privacy>Other members of your group. then the Directory is viewable again Thanks so much Deb |

Inviting new members to calendar events
Hi, I've been using for a few months now to manage our book club and it's been working really great. A situation has arisen that I'm not sure how to deal with though. I generally add an event for each meeting to our calendar and send a notification to existing members. I generally like to do that as soon as possible after the last meeting (so I don't forget) but at the moment there is a new member invitation pending so I can't send out the invitation until the new member has accepted. Ideally I would like to set up the event so that the new member will automatically receive the event notification, but I'm pretty sure this isn't possible. A reasonable compromise would be to send the event notification to the existing members, and when the new member joins then manually send him the event notification, but I can't see a way of doing this without resending the event notification to all members. Does anyone have a good workaround? Thanks, james |

The boxed message will not appear in your group(s). It's on the transfer status page.If you haven't logged in, do so (see?/static/help#password) Go to the transfer page at??/yahootransfer Scroll down to the very bottom. Look for the "in-process" box at lower right and click in it. A list of groups being transferred should appear. Select one of your groups.

Re: Help with my transfers over needed please.
Bonnie,
I think Hooty doesn't realize that changing the subject line on a reply starts a new thread/topic and can be confusing as you mentioned.? I'd suggest that the addition become the first line in the reply, not on the subject line.? In an effort to consolidate this topic, I've merged the threads.

Re: GROUP SETTINGS OPTION ¨C Automatic Post Removal After a Period of Time . . .
Yes, the beta group is the official suggestion box for the site.? I'm not sure how 'easy' it would be to do, but you might suggest that the options be done somewhat like the calendar events.? Those can be set to week/month/etc, then there's an option to select how many of those units.
