Yes, it appears there are still problems.? One message may get through and the next one won't, so no pattern to it that I can see.? You could suggest that they read online if they want to be sure of seeing all messages.? About the only thing I can think of to tell people is to complain LOUDLY to cox.

Does anyone know if we are still having issues with cox.net email addresses?

I have a member who is signed up for individual emails, and we have had a lot of them in one subgroup since Wednesday evening.? But - her email delivery history shows a last successful delivery on Nov 1 with a message of: 2.0.0 JKylgGj1TiO4OJKyogjvNZ mail accepted for delivery.

But her most recent unsuccessful delivery attempts shows no email deliveries.

In another subgroup where we have had less emails (but some), it shows no email deliveries in both fields.

Other than to tell her to change her email address how can I tell what is going on and how to fix it (other than to tell her to change her email address)?
Thanks
Beth

A neighbor wants to transfer her PTA Yahoo list to groups.io and wanted to know if all members of the group are automatically subscribed to [email protected].? I honestly don't know, because I'm an owner/moderator for most of my groups.?Am I subscribed because of that status?? Are ordinary subscribers also sent updates???

And I find no record of any such settings change under Activity.

Unfortunately (?), all Settings are lumped together under "Edited Group" in the Actions box of the Activity log.? It won't tell you specifics, but you may be able to see who changed it since you have an approximate date.

You nailed it, Duane . . . many thanks.

I went to Admin>Settings>Features>Files>Permissions, then selected "Subscribers can view and upload".?

Then I did the same for Photos.

Somehow those switches were reset about three days ago.? I don't know how that happened because members could upload files and photos before the beta testing began.? And I find no record of any such settings change under Activity.? No problem now that I know how to make the fix.??

Thanks a bunch for pointing me in the right direction!

It is definitely set correctly. I've tried setting it and updating the group like 12 times. It is not a gmail issue, it happens to everyone in the group. Does anyone else have this problem?

Keith,

The owner of the io group has now made me a moderator of the io group
so I thought though I would have a go again. I am trying to go through
the process ... yet when I get to the Easy Yahoo Group Transfer I am
able to type in the yahoo group details yet where it comes to the
dropdown list for groups.io there is nothing.

That's what I thought: moderator isn't good enough. The owner must make you an owner of the group, or do it him/herself.

The drop-down list is only populated with groups that you own (or co-own).

Keith,

So do you have to be a moderator on IO group to sort the transfer?

I believe you must be an owner of the IO group in order to initiate or manage a transfer.

>That is what I thought. The owner of the io group has now made me a moderator of the io group so I thought though I would have a go again. I am trying to go through the process as per?/g/GroupManagersForum/message/8697?yet when I get to the Easy Yahoo Group Transfer I am able to type in the yahoo group details yet where it comes to the dropdown list for groups.io there is nothing.?


> This is all there is. I have of course clicked on the arrows but zilch. Nothing at all. So my head is well and truly being scratched. Again any help will be gratefully received.
Regards??

Milt,

Can anyone here tell me whether we can we invite that many to join the
new group, or will we have to do it a few at a time?

Confirming what Duane said, you can invite them all at one time - I've invited up to several hundred at once, others probably more. The only hitch is that the invites will likely be briefly held for review by Groups.io - usually less than a day.

Only problem is that they are now in random order. It would be nice
to be able to put them in chronological order but we have not figured
out how to do that--no big deal.

I don't think there's any way to set or adjust the posting time when posting them as you are doing; but if your process posted them in order they ought to have remained in order.

If the messages as posted retain some of the original message header fields, especially the Date field, you might ask [email protected] to copy that field into the database such that the messages appear to have been posted "back then". That would likely be something they'd have to do as a "one-off" bit of database manipulation, but maybe if you catch Mark in a good mood... ;-)

Keith,

So do you have to be a moderator on IO group to sort the transfer?

I believe you must be an owner of the IO group in order to initiate or manage a transfer.

In addition you, or someone you're collaborating with, must be either a moderator with the privilege to appoint moderators, or an owner, of the Yahoo Group.

Also I not that I have sent many invites to [email protected] and not
ever gets done.

That's not the first step in the process, if you started with that then that's why nothing has happened.

Please review the Y!Group transfer instructions and GMF's collection of notes about Y!Group transfers.
/yahootransfer
/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Transfer-from-Yahoo-Groups

If you feel you've taken the right steps in the right order please give us more detail on precisely where you are in the process: what you've done and what you're seeing, so we can attempt to help you correct whatever's wrong.

So I and the 460 plus people in the yahoogroup are sort of in limbo
now.

The transfer process makes no changes to your Yahoo Group, so you should be able to continue using it until you are satisfied with the progress of your transfer. See also this earlier topic:

Jim,

How about an option to "Remain permanently logged in?" Those choosing
it would get a cookie that never expires. ("Never" probably being Jan
2039.)

I like your suggestion to update the cookie on visits better. No new option to implement or explain. So that's what I've proposed:


For efficiency reasons (and possibly other reasons) one wouldn't want to update the cookie on every page load, but I'm sure Mark can work out an effective way to do it.

An owner of a yahoogroup has been trying to transfer over to io. However not sure why but it has been a disaster from start to finish. I am now trying to sort it but.......
So do you have to be a moderator on IO group to sort the transfer? Also I not that I have sent many invites to [email protected]?and not ever gets done. So I and the 460 plus people in the yahoogroup are sort of in limbo now. Any ideas please??

Thanks Shal

I have this selected everywhere I can find to make a selection but the
reminders still arrive with the American format ...

Pamala,

I am struggling to find where to change the date format for calendar
reminders.

The body of the reminder has the month spelled out (e.g. "30 October 2018") but I see what you mean, in the subject it remains US format ("10/30/18").

I have this selected everywhere I can find to make a selection but the
reminders still arrive with the American format ...

The only place this should be selected is in the subscriber's Date Display setting, in the Preferences page of the subscriber's account.

I think it would be fair to make the suggestion in beta (or to support) that reminders and notices generated by the group calendar should respect the subscriber's Date & Time Display settings.

My apologies if this has been asked and answered already.
I am struggling to find where to change the date format for calendar reminders. ?
I am in Australia and use the DD.MM.YY format. ?I have this selected everywhere I can find to make a selection but the reminders still arrive with the American format of MM.DD.YY which is confusing for our elderly members.

Can someone please tell me if it is possible to change the reminder notices and if so where do I go to do it?
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Pamela

Personally, I like the albums ordered by title, but it would be nice to be able organize the pictures in the album any way wanted.

You can order the photographs within any album easily, although it can be tedious. The order is determined by initial characters, so you can preset the order by editing the photograph names to have numbers (or letters) as the start, e.g. 01, 02, or A, B, C and so on. Note the leading zero if numbers are used; if those aren't included it all goes a bit wrong, with 1 being followed by 11, at which point you have to start again. :(
A start at 01 will work unless there are more than 99 photos in any album; if there are more than 99 then the first one will have to be 001, and so on. Single alphabetic initials work up to 26 (obviously!)

Like I said... easy but tedious.

Mark implemented this a few weeks (?) ago.? It's on the Yahoo Transfer page:
"If your group has more than 100,000 messages, we ask that you sign up for the Premium plan annual option for a year. If you don't wish to do that, we will transfer the most recent 100,000 messages in your group."

As this information is missing from our Yahoo transfer wiki page, I've recently added a section to that effect (/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Transfer-from-Yahoo-Groups#Assess-Group-Storage-Needs). Feel free to perform further edits.
