Re: Narrow formatting in Digests?
Phil,
Ah, so you mean via Gmail or equivalent¡ªinteresting.I read in Thunderbird, and your example looks normal to me as well. I think the confusion here is that what you're calling "silly narrow columns" is in fact exactly what the rest of us are calling normal. That's based on your screenshot of the top of a digest: it looks normal. The only thing unusual is the large window size you are displaying it in. Yes, the scroll bar is out at the edge of the window, as it should be. I've never used a WebTV, but sizer tells me that a minimum appropriate window width for reading a digest is 820 pixels. Wider than that leaves grey boarders of increasing width to either side. To me, this seems like a normal, comfortable, reading width. Going wider would make it more difficult for the eye to scan the lines, significantly slowing (my) reading comprehension speed.

Main page message count seems frozen. . .
Just noticed that for the last two days the message count for OCT seems frozen on my group at 49.
There have been four posts to our group today yet that counter is not advancing and remains at 49. Is anyone else having this problem? I tried refreshing the page and even logging out and back in, but to no avail. Is this a known bug or could it perhaps somehow be due to the large influx of new group transfers getting in queue to be transfered plus the fact that there are so many transfers in progress? I've never noticed this happening before. I'm sure it's nothng to do with my group's settings since I haven't changed them in a while. Comments? Suggestions? TIA Paul M.

Re: Is there a need for two owners?
Don,
In the case of an owner of a Premium group that pays money every monthThere currently is no succession mechanism implemented or policy stated. If there were a co-owner, or a moderator with the Billing permission, that person could take on the payments without need for support. My own opinion is that if your group is important enough to you that you chose to go to the Premium plan, it probably should be important enough to you to ensure you have one or multiple potential successors promoted in advance. I think support might do something like this to keep the incomeI don't know that the billing would factor in to whatever future mechanism or policy might be implemented. Until then that's definitely the kind of thing support would likely handle case-by-case.

Re: Is there a need for two owners?
In the case of an owner of a Premium group that pays money every month for their group, and that owner dies and their credit card is cancelled by say a spouse, would Groups.io support (Mark) allow a moderator or a member of that group to become the new owner if they took over the monthly payment of that group to keep it going?? I think support might do something like this to keep the income flowing, and besides what would it hurt.

Re: Two factor Authentication
Orest,?
What are app are you using? The instructions say:
Scan This Barcode With Your App Configure your authenticator app to receive security codes from Groups.io. Don't have an authenticator app? Choose from a list of our recommended apps: Google Authenticator, Duo Mobile, Authy, or Windows Phone Authenticator.
Note: If you enable two-factor authentication, you will not be able to log in using Facebook, Google or the Email Me a Link to Log In functions.
Scan this image using your authentication app. If you can't use a barcode, enter the code 2GMQRKQN357CGEW7U2GIOHEERBI3OM47 instead.

Re: group name different in groups.io than it was in yahoo groups - Will this be a problem
I'm waiting for my group to transfer(#491 in the queue),? ?I gave my new group a shorter name in groups.io than it was in yahoo groups.? Will this cause any problems? About name change - see?/g/GroupManagersForum/message/21110 About the transfer queue -? 11. How do I check the transfer status?
?
Transfers are queued up when you first set it up and processed in that order until you get to Step 5.?
?
At that point they are re-ordered based on when the transfer go-ahead is given and uploaded to groups.io in that order (unless you pay $200 for priority service).
?
When you click on the green "Set Up New Transfer" button at bottom left of the Yahoo groups transfer page (/yahootransfer), a new page will come up where you can enter the source and destination group names.?
?
There is also a series of checkboxes for the various areas of the group to transfer (files, photos, members, messages, etc). Simply uncheck the ones you don't want before clicking the "Start New Transfer Process" button.
?
If you've already started a transfer, return to the Yahoo groups transfer page (/yahootransfer), select the transfer you've already started from the "Existing Transfers" list (pull down the menu and click on its name). On the resulting page you will see the same series of checkboxes. Uncheck the ones you don't want and then click the "Update Transfer" button. Actual transfer status for any ongoing transfer can be found in the status box at the top of the page.
?
New (2019-10-23): more details now available. See
?
New (2019-10-25) If you have started a Yahoo Group transfer, and the status is the message that starts "Make sure you have sent an invite to your group", that means that we have not received your invite yet and that you should send another one. That message will change automatically when we receive the invite and is not subject to the delays in other parts of the process are seeing.
