Stay Calm & Let Groups.IO carry on :)

Wanted to thank those involved in this group for handling all of this extra message volume.

?

I migrated my group of 15K members almost 2 years ago. It was the best decision. There is no looking back from the YahooGroups experience. There is customer service support, amazing new features, this particular group is also invaluable, etc.

?

The transition process was even easier than I could have imagined.

Harlow -- In the group Settings, you can disable?any regular user's ability to modify calendar entries by choosing one of the "moderators can edit" options in the calendar Permissions block. But no, there is no option to "moderate" it.

The banner size space is 900x300. Experiment uploading different size pictures to see what they look like, but if you want a full size banner it needs to be 900x300.

I apologize if this has already been answered, but I searched GMF for "cover photo"? and this particular question didn't come up in the search results. I know how to change the cover photo in i.o., but not how to make it appear as a banner. In YG it automatically was formatted as a banner. I looked in "Help" but couldn't find how to make it a banner, only how to change the photo. What is the trick?

Deborah,

results. I know how to change the cover photo in i.o., but not how to
make it appear as a banner.As Bruce said, you need to use an image with a 3:1 aspect ratio.

You'll need some type of photo editing software to crop a source image down to that shape. Or a drawing program to create something that shape.

I began the process on Tuesday at 9 PM; that’s when I created my group and paid for the upgrade.

I invited ?to join my Yahoo Group at about 7:30 Wednesday morning (yesterday) - the first step in doing the transfer.

The transfer was completed today at 12:30 pm. We might lose all functions at Yahoo before our group gets migrated.

Hi...

I bought the service for $110 a year.? It says I have a 10 GB limit.?

Do emails count against this 10 GB limit?? Or is it just files and photos?

Thank you,

Issue viewing attached objects w/Android

#19364
Edited

Hi,

I have two Groups:? a test and a live one.? An issue was reported on the live Group that I was able to replicate on the test Group.

The problem is when using an MUA on Android I cannot open the attachment in a Full Featured Digest.? I have tried both Gmail and AquaMail.? They both issue the same error message:? Cannot display PDF (file_name.pdf cannot be opened).

Using my ROM's file manager, I cannot find the file.

I attempted to narrow the problem further and I confirmed I get the same error whether I am logged on to groups.io (via Chrome) or not.

I also tried removing blanks from the file name.? That didn't help either.

Any thoughts?

Thx!

The cover photo is rescaled to 300 pixels in the vertical dimension, or 900 pixels in the horizontal dimension. So if you want the image to span the width of the page you must provide an image with at least a 3:1 aspect ratio.

Hope this helps,

I invited ?to join my Yahoo Group at about 7:30 Wednesday morning (yesterday) - the first step in doing the transfer.

The transfer was completed today at 12:30 pm. I just sent out my first two messages and everything seems to be working fine.

There were a bunch of photos that didn’t transfer because of Yahoo problems, but only about 9 messages. My group is a freecycle group, so that didn’t really matter much to me.

I had a question that I sent to [email protected]?yesterday, around 9:30 am, and I got an answer from Mark Fletcher around 4:00 pm that day.

Now, admittedly, I may have gotten in before the rush.

Karen,

I did send a query request yesterday and did not hear back on that.

Probably too busy doing it to talk about it.

It might take months for them to get through a backlog--there may be 10,000 requests for a transfer.

If there were that many, at $110 a pop, I'm sure he'd be able to hire some help.

#2 Is it really just one guy doing the work?

I think so. Together with the automation he's built for most of the steps.

#4 Does anybody know if we can start conversing on the new group if we intend to have our emails imported?
Would that mess up the transfer. Do we just sit and wait?

Not really a problem. The posts would be intermingled in message number, but when you look at the Messages or Topics list it is sorted by date so that doesn't matter.

#5 will we have search ability for our archived Yahoo messages?

Yes!

I almost feel email is a bad way to do this discussion. We need a Slack board or something ( :

If that''s what you need, you're really in . ?

ours operating before we started the transfer. 

I did mine while it was still free while most people were saying Yahoo
Groups will continue the way they are forever. Now we're dealing with
the aftermath in many groups I don't own but am a member of. 

I created new groups for some of those and made an announcement about
the new group, and I invited the current Y!G group owners to contact
me and I would make them owners. Of the few I did that for, only one
is going to do the transfer as of right now, whether or not he gets
enough donations to cover the cost.
