Re: Merge Groups
?? You only make the export and import functions available to group admins, so the data could move only under the authority of the forum owners.
I don't see that as a security issue.... we already have export, which is the "more dangerous" function reading your response. Adding information to a forum is the right of anyone in the forum actually, so I honestly do not follow your logic. Even just a way to "forward" a message or topic to another group would help... In my case, I started a new group here because it was questionable if we could move the yahoo group. Then the Yahoo group got together, made me the owner, and I migrated the Yahoo group. I now want to merge the smaller, newer group to the recently migrated group. Greg |
Re: Catch-22: Can't Transfer Yahoo Group
One of the yahoogroups on which I used to be able to issue invitations no longer allows me to do so for the past couple of weeks.? And another yahoo group used to allow me to appoint other moderators, but I can't now.? As of now, that means the transfers of both those groups are dead in the water due to absentee owners.? I keep trying on yahoo, figuring if it glitched one way, perhaps it will glitch back the other way.? One did the other day, allowing me to invite and change groups.io to moderator, but within five minutes it reverted back, apparently before the changes could take place.? Frustrating.

Thanks for the feedback
For the record, our Links did transfer to the Database area.? We are just trying to determine if we have other options for relocation to a different area, what they might be, which is best and/or customization of the default categories.? All feedback is appreciated. |

Ann, your links should have transferred into Databases. If database has not been activated in Settings, do so and you will see them, I believe.

Starting a new Group from scratch
If I start a new Group from scratch today will it be free?
If it remains below 1000 members and has the same storage limits as it was (last year) will it remain free? If I have a free Group now will it remain free, if it has less than 1000 members? Finally what? is the fee structure at this time for paid groups? An up-front charge, an/or a yearly charge? Thanks, Richard |
Re: Yahoo Transfer

Andrew,
Try to send the invite from Yahoo using as many different browsers as possible. Also flush your cache to increase the chances of it working and keep on trying. It seems the many issues inside Yahoo is making this awkward. But just keep trying. -Ken Cameron, Member JMRI Dev Team www.jmri.org www.fingerlakeslivesteamers.org www.cnymod.org www.syracusemodelrr.org |

Re: Digest Header Size
#featurerequest
If I understand what you're describing correctly, I think it may be the same problem with the fixed width of the digest that I brought up a few days ago?
/g/GroupManagersForum/message/23886 I contacted Mark about it, and so did someone else on the thread, but so far I've not gotten any response. |

I tried to do that again this morning but am getting an error from Yahoo (I had done these steps on numerous occasions over the past month/6 weeks to no avail)The Yahoo invitation function has been balky for a long time now. I assume you are getting the standard "an error occurred while loading the content?" If so, that's a common error ever since the NEO "downgrade." If you're getting some other error, come back and tell us what it is. Unfortunately, there is no way for groups.io to "break into" your group and steal the content itself, so we have to make this invitation thing work. Recommendations on what to do for "error loading content" can be found at?/g/GroupManagersForum/message/19411. Others have recently reported that they had more luck using a PC instead of a Mac, or trying another browser. Hopefully one of those things will help you to get an invitation sent. Once it goes through, your "pink box" status will change to "We have received your invitation and will accept it soon." Go back and check that to be sure. Once you get the transfer agent invited and [eventually] accepted, you will also have to promote it to a Moderator. If you don't have the necessary privileges to do that your transfer will stall at that point. You might want to promote someone else in your group to Moderator now to ensure you can do it and to get in some practice. Instructions for this can be found at?. Hope this helps, Bruce |
