Hi,

I'm new here, trying to move from a Facebook group. I like the interface and features, but can't seem to figure out if it's possible to track groups members response to an event invite?

Thanks for that. I've just changed the photo settings as you suggest and I'll let members know they should be logged in before they post. Thanks, John.1097

It is not clear to me whether any group member is allowed to export any data from his/her group.
i.e. can a group member export all the archives, photos, files, etc. of the group he/she is subscribed to? Or is it a feature limited to moderators/owners?
In my group, Members' List and Directory are visible only to mods & owner, so I presume that members cannot export those data?

Thank you for your help.

?Marina,

Since ordinary members don't have access to "Admin/Settings" which is where the command to export group data is, then they can't do an group data export.

Of course, under "Account", everyone has the option to export their own account information.

Bruce,

I’m curious if there is a way to tailor invitations to sub-groups so
that an invitee can only join a subset of the subgroups of a main
group.

You can only invite people to the primary group.

Once someone is a member of the primary group, each subgroup's setting applies as to whether a member of the primary group can see the subgroup, and whether members of the primary group can join the subgroup without restriction.

it appears that the only way to allow membership to a subset of
subgroups is to invite to the main group and then, after the member
joins that, either allow them to join the groups you want them in, and
reject their attempts to join the others, or open subgroups under
Admin and check the appropriate boxes.

Using the checkboxes does not restrict a primary group member from attempting to join any subgroup, only restricting the subgroup's membership does that.

As best I can tell, other then requiring approval to join and
rejecting the request, there isn’t any way to specifically invite to a
subgroup and restrict other subgroups from that member… right?

Sort-of. Requiring approval to join is the only way to keep primary group members from joining a given subgroup. There is no way I know of to invite a person, primary group member or not, directly to a subgroup.

Membership in one subgroup does not imply any special access to or ability to join another subgroup.

John,

Is it possible, either by itself or hiding Group Information - at
least from the public?

Not that I know of.

You could drop that in the groups.io suggestion box:

What would be even better is the ability to add your own extra fields and if these could be available to users when they join a group.

Our group are all members of a national (UK) association and we have to check their membership number and address.

So if we could add membership number and postcode(zip) as extra fields . Users could then supply these when they request to join.

At the moment we have to send them an automatic email to ask them for this information.

Chris

Michael,

Are these chats publically viewable?

No, that is not even an available option.

Subscribers can read and participate in chats, they can start new chats if that's allowed by the group's Chats setting, in the Features section of the group's Settings page.

Hi all. I have a question about the chat capabilities of groups.io. Are these chats publically viewable? If so, can this be changed? Sorry if I am asking too many questions.
Thanks.
From Michael.

The most recent information we've seen is 10-14 days, but that was a couple of weeks ago.? Once the invitation is accepted, it shouldn't take long, depending on how well Yahoo is delivering the data needed.

A few site FAQs: /static/pricing#frequently-asked-questions

I have initiated the Easy Yahoo Group Transfer and have been waiting for a few days. When I check for the status of the transfer I see a message "We've received the invite to your group and will accept it soon. There is no need to send another invite".??I have been waiting for many days now. Any idea how long is the backlog???

Paul,

So... Is there a setting on Groups.io which disables the quote
function/icon when a member makes a reply to another member's
topic/post?

As Duane and Bruce mentioned, this is usually an issue with members who reply by email. There isn't a relevant setting fro the group, but here's what Groups.io does generally:

o In replies forwarded to members receiving individual messages, nothing. The quoted matter is passed through.

o In replies forwarded to members receiving digests the trailing quoted matter is removed. In some cases quoted matter may not be recognized if the replying member's email interface uses an unconventional marking for quoted material; if you have a frequent case where this happens you can ask support to look into it. In rare cases a top-quote can cause the entire reply to disappear.

o In replies shown in the group's messages section the trailing quoted matter is hidden under an ellipsis button [...] that can be clicked to show it. As with the Digest case the detection isn't always perfect.

Having an option like that would save our moderators a lot of time
having to remove piggybacking and would also minimize the moderators'
alienating of so many of our members when we reject one of their
messages and ask that they to remove the piggybacking and then
re-submit it.

If your primary motive for rejecting the piggybacking was the effect it has on Y!group digests (extensive bottom quotes making them nearly unreadable) then you may be able to relax the requirement in Groups.io. Members who receive individual messages in email are usually more tolerant of extensive bottom-quotes.

In this group I'm still pretty much a stickler for removing excess quotes, especially more than the first message in a reply. But I can't necessarily defend that moderation style on practical grounds. Just a feeling that everyone benefits from keeping things concise and relevant.

Kim,

I have requested twice for the Groups.io to join my Yahoo Group to
transfer it to Groups.io - and NOTHING. When and what is supposed to
happen?

That depends on what other steps you've taken. If you haven't followed the steps in the instructions then nothing happens merely as a result of inviting the transfer agent to your Y!group.
/yahootransfer

See the many other threads on the subject in this group's Messages section, and especially see our web page for additional tips:
/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Transfer-from-Yahoo-Groups

As of about a week and a half ago there was a two-week backlog of groups to transfer. I haven't heard any more up-to-date status, so I don't know if that backlog is growing or shrinking.

Thanks Shal... that was it -- my face is red, as two others tried to lead me there as well, but I drove right by it. Sigh.
It all works properly now
Best,

Jerome,

I've re-checked it all and everything 'appears' to be correct: ? My user is logged in and the album is set for group access and updated.

You didn't mention checking the group setting, so I'm not sure if you included that in "re-checked it all":
