Hello My group has just been moved from Yahoo where when new members joined the group they needed to give a reason why they wanted to join As a moderator I need to see this reason in order to approve

Re: Require info from prospective members
As for my group we ask questions as well before admitting anyone to the group. We are a Chronic Pain group. We ask for a chronic pain related reason for joining the group as well as an affirmation

Re: Require info from prospective members
As you can see from the myriad of responses there are many reasons why such a feature is useful. My lists are for some pretty narrow special interests and it is a great tool to make sure the

Re: E.U. Issues with Transfers?
What to migrate, and how to migrate it, are issues that list-owners have discussed since at least 1980. Back then, "best practice" was to send two or three emails that contained the new address for

Someone that has actually done it would need to verify, but it should put them all on Special Notices Only. Duane

Re: Length of Group description in Groups Directory #suggestion
I think I've finally figured out where the one BOLD word is coming from.? When you search for a word in the directory, that word will be in bold on the results page.? Now we just need to find out

Re: E.U. Issues with Transfers?
First question: how did you know that 2-300 people opted-out of the transfer? Did you receive a notice? Second question. I have chosen to move my group message archive, too. So I suppose that at some

Re: E.U. Issues with Transfers?
After reading all this, I am full of doubts and I wonder if I should have known better and relocate just members without their own content (messages). I am going through the relocating process now,

Re: Require info from prospective members
At some point in my YG group, to keep the focus on the group subject, we started to restrict memberships. In our website and on the group page we stated clearly that only subscription requests with a

Re: Length of Group description in Groups Directory #suggestion
Many thanks for your help, Shal. That group description was meant to be short, so length it's not problem in that case. My other group description, on the other hand, was meant to be a bit longer (not

Re: Subgroup creation, better before or after Yahoo transfer?
Thank you, Shal. I'll wait it out, then. By the way, I've found out that you cannot invite people to a subgroups. You can either add them (which is a Premium Group feature, if I am not mistaken) or

Re: Subgroup creation, better before or after Yahoo transfer?
Marina, I would say create them before sending the Go email, or wait until you receive the "completed" notice. Either way should be fine, but I wouldn't risk creating them while the transfer is in

Re: Length of Group description in Groups Directory #suggestion
Marina, That's odd. I found that group in the directory and I don't see any bold-faced word. In fact, it doesn't look like the directory shows any formatting that the group Description might have. Or

Re: Require info from prospective members
I have one simple and short sentence in my pending member message. It's not even a question. "The moderators of the xxx list ask that you hit reply to this message and identify yourself. Thank you. "

Re: Pending Subscription #membership
Shal, All I can say is before I approved this person, they replied to my email asking them if they got the Pending Subscription email, which they told me No...I did ask them to check their Spam

Re: Messages to Members - more than one in Welcome and Pending
mary, It only allows one of each type to be active. There should be no problem having both a Pending Subscription notice and a Welcome notice active at the same time. I have both in some of my groups.

Re: Pending Subscription #membership
Don, Ok, this was after you approved the member. So I'm not sure the evidence for what happened to the Pending notices should still be here. It does say that there were no unsuccessful attempts, so
