Re: Yahoo group transfer
Have you received the "completed" (summary) email from groups.io?? If not, it's still in the works.

Re: Mistake: member unsubscribed from group?

The member's experience will vary according to their email service provider. Some, like Gmail, apparently never send such reports back to Groups.io and so their users never get unsubscribed for this. On the other hand Yahoo Mail and AOL seem to be particularly aggressive about delivering Groups.io messages to their users' Spam folder, and then send a report as if the user marked the message as Spam. Good to know, thanks. |

Re: Subgroups not listed on groupsl home page
Eldin,
I'm pretty sure that until recently all of the subgroups that I created within my group were listed on the main groups homepage. Yup. Beta , first bullet. ? I can click on the "Subgroups" menu item to see the subgroups that I'm a member of but can no longer see just a simple list of subgroups on the home page. That page includes all subgroups, which isn't obvious if you happen to be a member of all of them. Or, I suppose, are a member of so many that the first list fills the visible portion of the page.

Re: Date Order for Photos
Mike,
Why "someone"? Anyone can join and post on beta. When you do you can cite this "to do" item: (The Photostream in Y!Groups is what wunder suggests: an automatic ¡°All Photos¡± folder, sorted by date.)

Re: Date Order for Photos
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýPerhaps an automatic ¡°All Photos¡± folder would fix this.

? On the Wiki page Duane cited we've been making a list of the email services that have been seen to cause such unsubscriptions. Feel free to add to that list if any of your members have been unsubscribed for spam and use a service not yet listed there.

Dan,
1)? I read in on the of the threads here about a "transfer form" that seems to have more choices than what I filled in to get started.? is that true and when in the process does this form appear? Review this (still a work in progress) Wiki page if you haven't already: /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Transfer-from-Yahoo-Groups When you go to the Yahoo Groups Instructions page there's a green Start New Transfer button at the bottom. To the right is an In Process drop-list of any Yahoo Group names for which you have a transfer In Process. Selecting a group from that list, or if you have none clicking the green button, brings you to the form being discussed. 2)? Many of my Yahoo Group members have an email address in Yahoo other than the one we want in IO.? ...? So, what is best practice for getting the IO group to have correct email addresses and when in the process do we do this? The very best might be to have them switch to their preferred email addresses before initiating the group transfer. But that's a rather onerous task for them with Yahoo's current status. So I would say the best practice is to let those members be copied over using their Y!Group subscription addresses as they are. Then after the transfer is complete it is relatively easy for each member to edit their email address in their Groups.io account. That will update their group subscription to the new address. The reason for the above two approaches is to maintain the member's "ownership" of any content they had contributed to the Y!Group (messages, files, photos, etc.) - the ownership is linked to their subscription address in the Yahoo Group and, after transfer, in the Groups.io group. ? Is there a mapping feature as part of the transfer process where we can say "Change Yahoo email from xxxxxxx to yyyyyyyyy in IO?? No. ? Can we do the transfer without transferring users (just conversations, images, etc.) and manually create users with the correct emails?? You could, but then all of their content (they being any email address not in the Groups.io group at the time the content is copied over) would be orphaned from their subscription and re-attributed to you (the logged in email address that initiated the transfer). ? PS - roughly what is the current Queue time from requesting a Transfer till the Yahoo Invite is accepted??? Uncertain. Groups.io (Mark) is working through a backlog that was about 400 deep as of last Thursday.
