What does that mean exactly?

It means that she needs to reply to the email (no content needed) so that Groups.io can confirm that her email address is working.

I think all you can do is send the information to [email protected] to see what they can tell you.

If I read Yahoo's statement correctly, from next Monday nobody will be able to post online on Yahoogroups, nothing new will appear in the archives, but posting via email continues as normal. This means that for those groups currently in the transfer process only Yahoogroups messages posted before October 28th will be transferred. Also, for groups who's transfer process has reached the 'export from Yahoo' stage but waiting to be transferred to groups.io similarly all new messages posted to Yahoogroups will not be transferred. Many groups will be in a sort of limbo stage. Have I read this correctly? Of course what actually happens on Monday with Yahoo is anybody's guess.

which I don't really want to delete 20 at a time

You can change the number of lines you see for most pages in your Account settings (upper right) on the Preferences page.? 20 is the default, but you have options of 50, 100, and infinite scroll.? For some reason that I don't quite understand, infinite scroll in a database only gives you 20 rows.? It will still be some work, but 100 at a time is 5x better than 20. ;>)

Folks do run into timeout problems now and then, so using small batches is a good idea.? I suspect the system is well loaded right now, so timeouts may be more common.

Thanks Mark!

FYI, no one from Groups.io management is on this group, but it's certainly refreshing to hear some good news now and then.? Once all the dust settles, I think there will be many people that share your appreciation.

I tried searching a phrase or two in the Messages, but none were found. Will these old messages be searchable with time?

What I remember seeing somewhere is that there was some "strange" email address to use, containing the group name, and bunches of numbers etc. - long email address.

That can be used for various reasons, but isn't needed for normal interaction.? If your group name is butterflies, they'd send email to butterflies@ group.io (without the space)? For replies, the address will automatically be filled in when they hit the Reply button in their email program.

I also gave the GoAhead on 10/22 but both my groups are still stuck on Step 1 even though they are small groups without a lot of files and archives.? You are very lucky to be at Step 3 already. My members and groups are in limbo waiting to be copied from YG!

Discourse is a *BIG DEAL* to only use for emails! Way overkill. It's a full-featured flat forum system. Check out Eve Online or World of Warcraft forums to see it in action.

Members can set their preferences here and only get emails, even though the system saves all of them for future reference, just like Yahoo Groups.

Hi Juulz... I'm attempting to respond to your message from my outside email not from the online forum page. Practicing what I think most of our folks want to do.

You are right that Discourse seems to be quite the big deal. The person who is familiar with it and wants us to switch to it believes we should have more capability than just emailing back and forth. From my perspective, groups.io seems to have plenty of capability, including the online forum view, searching, etc. For us to run a Discourse system, and be affordable, we would have to download and maintain/support the software on our own server, otherwise their hosting fee from them is $100 per month.

I'm just trying to see what really works and how well to be able to make an "intelligent" decision. This other fellow seems a bit "pushy" in his desire for us to move in his direction.

Any ideas on how to glean the emails from the Yahoo group for mass import to a groups.io site?

That's been covered several times recently, using various methods.? There's no way for you to import them, so you'd need to create a file or something like that.

Query:? How do I know my place in the queue?? Other people seem to figure that out.

That will be on the transfer page once you move to at least Step 3 of 4.

BTW, I expect your first invitation never made it into the queue since you sent the invitation before you paid (per your list.)? You might have better luck following the detailed instructions at /g/GroupManagersForum/message/19673

What I’m confused about is that on Mon 10/21st I gave the transfer go-ahead for my group. Yet I’m significantly behind someone who gave the transfer go-ahead on Tues 10/22. a day after I did.

Don't forget that Groups.io is used worldwide.? Times zones need to me considered.? What's 10/21 where you are could easily be 1/22 somewhere else.? I think as long as you're in the queue and moving up, you're doing better than some people. ;>)

I have a member that joined, but she was informed when she joined that her email needed to be confirmed.
What does that mean exactly?? and what can I do to help her get it confirmed?


Mendy

Is there some way of hiding a new Group from the public until after the migration has completed? I found a locking command but not a Romulan cloak...

Sadly no; English only. FWIW the user - customisable sections of the member notices can be written in any language but overall it would be of no help.

Is there no way to respond to emails sent by non-members to the +owner email address?

To the best of my knowledge, no there isn't, or not without a possible compromise of one's personal email address.?

Alternative answer; if there is a way I have yet to find it as well. :)

As to your earlier point I was still trying to understand the GIO history on why this hasn’t been addressed in the 18 months since Chris raised it when this happened, .the only answer I can provide is that some suggestions catch Mark's eye fairly easily; others don't. In reality there seem to be a lot of perfectly valid suggestions that fall by the wayside. If and when the dust settles I'll try to raise it again on beta.

I anticipated something might go wrong but this is ridiculous!

Chase Bank says the transaction was approved and the Groups.io upgrade page says "Card Declined"!
CB says it's not our problem, call the merchant! Yeah, right! Now what do I do

I went to the upgrade page, chose the $220 option and entered my card info. Card declined!
Tried again. Same thing.

Called CB fraud dept (as this is a common problem with CB and web purchases).
While online to CB, cleared cache, restarted Groups.io session & tried third time.
CB says transaction authorized but no amount specified. Groups.io page says "CARD DECLINED" !!!

CB says I cannot cancel, there is no time limit for Groups.io to submit an amount and Groups.io says "NO REFUNDS"! Since it is Saturday, nothing will be posted to my CB account until Monday.

And time is running out. What in hell do I do now ???
