Re: [email protected] not working for me

 

Transfer at groups io is definitely a member on the yahoo group and is a moderator. I am now an owner of both the yahoo and io group. The email address is the same for both groups. Yet after pressing the Give Go Ahead to Transfer green button all I get is after the egg timer goes around a few times it takes me back to exactly the very same page.
So I am currently stumped.?


Re: [email protected] not working for me

 

The only thing I can think of now is that it will not work because I am not the owner of the yahoo group? I am an owner of the io group though. Could this be it?

If you are not the owner of the Yahoo group, who promoted the transfer agent to a Moderator?
I have transferred a couple groups without being the owner. The person initiating has to be a moderator with all privileges, but doesn't need to be the owner.

Please DO confirm that you invited the transfer agent to your *yahoo* group. This is, unfortunately, a common misunderstanding. The transfer agent already has access to your groups.io group, but it needs access to your yahoo group to copy all the data to be moved.

It sounds like you may have invited the transfer agent to your groups.io group. You have to invite the agent to your Yahoo group. See??

However, the yahoo group had a lot of photos and things on it which I don't have time to transfer manually and don't want to lose. I have in fact transfered a few things manually, but ideally I'd still like to get the stuff transferred from yahoo to io. Is there any possibility of this being done, or would it mean losing what we now have on the io group?
This can be done. I don't believe anything will be overwritten. See?/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Transfer-from-Yahoo-Groups#Incomplete-transfer?

Be sure to UNcheck the box for "Transfer Members," along with any other group areas that you don't want to come over.

Hope this helps,
Bruce

If you have ever accessed groups.io with a given email address, it has an account. Each email address has its own account.?

Please do as previously requested...visit the group you are transferring into and let us know whether the "owner" badge is present at top left.

The only thing I can think of now is that it will not work because I am not the owner of the yahoo group? I am an owner of the io group though. Could this be it?

See?/g/GroupManagersForum/message/8697?for detailed directions. If you've done anything out of order it may be necessary to delete the transfer and start over.

Transfer from Yahoo never happened. Is it too late?

 

Back in February I went through the process of trying to transfer a group from yahoo. I made "[email protected]" a member of my group on Feb 22. By 18 March nothing had happened and, as the io group had been set up and was for 20 people I knew well, I asked them all to join individually. They did and the group has been working fine on io ever since. However, the yahoo group had a lot of photos and things on it which I don't have time to transfer manually and don't want to lose.

Not sure what you mean by email as I have the same email for both. yahoo and io groups. The only thing I can think of now is that it will not work because I am not the owner of the yahoo group? I am an owner of the io group though. Could this be it?

Browse to your actual group on groups.io (https:/groups.io/g/GROUPNAME). Is there a blue "owner" badge next to the Home button at top left? If not, you are logged in under an email address that is not the owner of the group. Log out and then log back in using the correct address.

So I go to the set up transfer button and get to the following page.


I have clicked on the green button as I want to go the go ahead for the transfer and nothing happens. It just keeps coming back to the same screen. So is there a problem? Have I done something wrong? Is it a server issue??
Again, I think you're logged in under the wrong email address. I'm frankly confused as to how you managed to get to this page at all, if you weren't able to pull down the group name from the In Process menu. Perhaps you bookmarked it during a previous session? Or maybe you are transferring more than one group, using different email addresses to do so?

I hope this helps, but frankly I'm a little confused, too, especially with the screenshots cropped as they are. I'm sure it's something simple and we'll get it figured out soon.

Groups.io site updates #changelog

 

Hi all,

This week's change log:



Feel free to reply to this topic if you'd like to comment on the
changes. Or better yet, if you expect a lot of discussion start a new
topic (or rejoin an existing one) about a specific change.

If there's anyone here who uses the API please identify and comment on any API-related changes that would be significant to API users. I don't and wouldn't know what to comment on.


NEW: We extend expiration of the login cookie each time a person
accesses the site.
After some discussion here in GMF about the 30-day expiration of Groups.io's login cookie and Jim's suggestion that it be extended on
each visit, I decided that the only advantage of the status quo was its brute simplicity. So I posted his suggestion to beta. /g/GroupManagersForum/topic/27769196
/g/GroupManagersForum/topic/27315749


NEW: We have a new, non-expiring cookie that we use to determine when
someone has previously been logged in, but whose cookie is now
expired. In that case, we redirect the user to the login page, with
a banner explaining that their login has expired.
This was originally proposed as an alternative to extending the cookie. I'm glad to see it implemented also as it will help people who visit the site rarely enough to have the login expire.


BUGFIX: Topic/Message filter by custom date range didn't work if your
date format preference was other than MM/DD/YYYY.
Channeling Maui again, "You're welcome!"

Fixing this introduced another bug which caused dates to not be
shown in the Topics screen.
Err, except for that.


Comments about these others are also welcome:

INTERNAL: In some situations we were not deleting all S3 data
associated with a group when the group was deleted.
CHANGE: Text changes to the Yahoo Transfer screens to make things more
clear - thanks Shal.
"You're welcome!"



Please call out any you find significant.

Shal

Re: Reply offering choice of replying to group or to sender

 

Richard,

I don't understand why you would want all messages, via the settings,
to go only to sender.
If everyone did that the Group would have no messages.
It may have plenty of messages, just no replies. Not all groups are about conversations.

One type of group that customarily operates this way are groups devoted to giving away unneeded items (Freecycle, Freegle, etc.). There a member posts an offer in the group, but all replies, which typically include personal contact info, go to the sender only.

Re: FW: group.io dns name server issues

Woo hoo! Indeed! I was able to verify most of the Cox statement (below) maybe 15 minutes ago, but upon doing more checking I found that changes were being made by Groups.io as I was looking (actually were made a bit earlier and just now propagating).

If all the issues Cox mentioned are fixed this should fix not only the problems with mail delivery to Cox, but also head off problems elsewhere.

From: Tier 2 Elite Support

Groups.io nameserver DNS issues with cox.net email accounts. This is NOT a cox issue. Cox is NOT blocking groups.io from working. This is a DNS issue with groups.io with the DNS nameserver. Based on what I'm seeing the issue looks to be DNS related. We require valid nameserver reverse query and that is failing.

AIL: The following nameservers are listed at your nameservers as nameservers for your domain, but are not listed at the parent nameservers (see RFC2181 5.4.1). You need to make sure that these nameservers are working.If they are not working ok, you may have problems!

dns4.groups.io
dns3.groups.io

Missing nameservers reported by parent

In regarde to this issue who ever is running the groups.IO for the living community needs to reach out to groups.io and have them update DNS so the nameservers resolve properly. Cox can not do this it is not a server owned by Cox we can not touch this. Cox is not blocking this groups.io needs to update the DNS nameserver

This is not a monitored email account. Please do not send any inquiries.

FW: group.io dns name server issues

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Mark and Shal,

?

For the past few weeks my ssv forum group has been plagued with Cox bouncing emails for several hundred of my forum members.? I¡¯ve spent several hours talking with Cox Tier2 data people and so far they have not been much help.? I¡¯ve had my members who are affected, and computer savvy enough, sending ¡®unblock¡¯ messages to? ¡®unblock.requests@...¡¯ but so far no real help. I¡¯ve had limited success with unsubscribing then resubscribing some of the members who are showing as ¡®bouncing¡¯, but with over 2,100 members that is taking a lot of my time and isn¡¯t totally effective in remedying the situation.

?

One of my SSV Forum members did get this message from Tier2 Elite Support and I¡¯m passing it on to you to see if you can be of any help to me.

Thanks for any input.

Hi, That's called a blacklist and you'll need to ask Mark to unblock it for you. I asked him to for Lavabit and he did. However I did submit sufficient evidence that it isn't currently a disposable email service.

Apples and oranges. Lavabit is an encrypted email service, not a temporary email address service. Xemaps.com is a disposable email address service. Their FAQ page even says that some places block their domain because of this.

Re: Mysterious Email Problem

 

Tonight when I open my mail program there were over 90 emails downloaded, and 85 of them were from my group and GMF. All of them were delayed, until I got to the last one, and that was only seconds old. I sent an email to my group tonight, and I got a copy of it back almost instantly! That's the fastest I'm gotten email from Groups.io since this problem happened back around October 21st, and I'm crossing my finger Cox has fixed this issue.

Re: When will transfer take place?

 

It was between 1 and 2 weeks for my group a couple of weeks ago. It sat at
the 'received invite' for over a week before it all happened.

I'm not claiming that everyone will get the same results, but mine had sat in the queue like yours for a few days and then movement happened. Could have been coincidence, but I think not.
