Re: Mistake: member unsubscribed from group?

 

Paula,
I would send them a note from your personal email. The reason is that the notice from Groups.io will most likely go to the spam folder where it will be deleted when they empty the spam folder, I've seen this happen several times in my group.

In most cases, by the time they get my message, they have deleted the Groups.io rejoin message as spam. I have a premium group so I just add them back. If you have a normal group, you need to send them an invitation to join, but make sure they don't delete the invitation as spam.

The sad part is that even after going through this process, I've had a few members who empty the spam folder with Groups.io messages and they get booted again. After two times, I don't bother with them.

Lastly, almost all of the Spam deleted members had Yahoo, Aol and Hotmail addresses. No Gmail accounts.

AFAICS this only works within each photo album. I understood the request was to be able to sort the Photo albums by a given key. Currently they are given in alphabetic order.

Handling changed email address with #yahoo #transfer

DanHartfordPhoto
 

Hi,? Still waiting for IO to accept my Yahoo group invite, but trying to get my head around some of the nuances.?

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?

2)? Many of my Yahoo Group members have an email address in Yahoo other than the one we want in IO.? Some already had Yahoo accounts with the old email address when they joined the group, some thought they had to create a Yahoo Email account to use the group (Y! pushed them in this direction), etc.? I would say that about 1/3 of the email addresses in Yahoo need to be changed.? So, what is best practice for getting the IO group to have correct email addresses and when in the process do we do this?? Is there a mapping feature as part of the transfer process where we can say "Change Yahoo email from xxxxxxx to yyyyyyyyy in IO?? Can we do the transfer without transferring users (just conversations, images, etc.) and manually create users with the correct emails?? Other strategy?

Thanks -- Dan

PS - roughly what is the current Queue time from requesting a Transfer till the Yahoo Invite is accepted???
Re: owner getting every message posted

 

Things just got weirder. I have another account I used to do testing with, which had moderator access. I changed it to owner access and now it's ALSO getting individual postings. Its subscription is set to Special Notices.

Paula, this is the Achilles heel of IO for owners/moderators in my opinion. IO does not tolerate any of their messages going to spam. They have a good reason for it but as soon as the spam notification comes to IO, poof, the member is unsubscribed. Certainly they send a message to the member how to rejoin once the member fixes the spam problem but many/most of my members are not computer savvy and they can¡¯t figure out how to fix it since the problem could be in their local Email program like Outlook, in their accessible Email provider site like my Comcast or some benevolent act by their provider before the message even gets into their view.

?

Out of 800 I had 50 bombs within the first couple of days and I still have dozens to sort out one by one for which are address problems and which are spam responses. It is an albatross around my neck. L

?

There has been much discussion on this forum and the links given you should answer most of your question, else search the archive for lots of this-topic messages.

Good luck.

Subject: [GMF] Mistake: member unsubscribed from group?

?

The group I own was officially transferred today. [Hurrah!] I didn¡¯t think that with a group of nearly 600 members and 16 years of posts it would be such an easy transfer.

That being said, I received a notification from groups.io:

¡°This is to notify you that NAME OF MEMBER has been unsubscribed from your group NAME OF GROUP because a message to them was marked as spam. Note that this may have been done by their email service provider, not by the individual member personally.¡±

?

Our group has discussions that are led by panelists. This notification was about one of our panelists. I sent him an invitation to rejoin the group. Will that fix the problem? Is there something more I should do?

Thank you,

Paula K Parker

You could include a link to the Wiki page if you want.? This group has an open Wiki that anyone can see without being a member.

If you can get the contents in Unix Mailbox (mbox) format then Mark should be able to upload them for you. That's the same format currently used for message archive export. You would have to subscribe your members separately.

See?

I don't know what priority he might give this request vs existing Y!Gs and other projects. Last I heard he was working on a full-group export function...something I would dearly love to see for backup/continuity purposes.

Re: Mistake: member unsubscribed from group?

 

There's no need for you to send them anything.? When this happens, they'll get an email from the site explaining what happened that includes a link to resume membership.? You do need to let folks know about this possibility.? There are several threads here about this very thing, along with a page in the Wiki, /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Removed-for-spam

Re: Import group from Mailman

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

What I ended up doing was just giving them the archives in the MBox format or what ?ever that is called All o them got?transferred. I then sent an invite to all members and most of them accepted. It took about maybe 2-3 days at the time and that was about in august of last year.

Take care

Hi Folks,?

I've searched high and low yet I have not been able to locate any recent updates on migrating a Mailman list into . I found a post here (/g/GroupManagersForum/message/2275) suggesting there was work being done but it was still a manual process as of September of 2017.? The post further suggested emailing Mark at the support email address which I have done.??

The problem is I sent the email February 26th and I did receive the auto-reply containing a request # but I have received no further response.? I replied again on March 6th but still no response.

I would very much like to migrate our existing group or at least get the message archives imported here.? I can export the group members and import them here once the message archives are moved, but I would like the archives in place before adding all the members.? Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated :)

Thank you,
Don

Re: Date Order for Photos

 

I see. AFAIK there's no way to list all photos in all albums.
Re: Date Order for Photos

 

Peter,

? Thanks - but that sort is only after you have selected the album.? I want/need to be
able to sort?all photos by the date they were posted (regardless of album).
? In addition, I?need to be able to "search photos by name" where the name is a?
partial or even?allows the common " *string* " kind of search argument.

? Many members will post a photo - and not include a link ... and, depending?
upon the group rules, the photo may/will not be in the message ... or the user
didn't actually put the photo in the message.

Unfortunately, that's only within an album.? I think what Jim is looking for is an overall list, by date, of photos that have been added in any album.? Definitely a good suggestion for the beta group, if it doesn't already exist.

Re: Deleting original owner account?

 

It shouldn't.? However, I'm not sure what would happen to anything you "own", such as files or photos.

Re: Import group from Mailman

 

You've done all you can.? Mark decides what will be implemented and when.? Since there appear to be far fewer Mailman lists than Yahoo or Google, I suspect it's way down the list of priorities, if it's even planned.

FYI, one of my requests took almost 2 years to be completed.

Re: Accuracy of Yahoo Member List Export? #addmembers

 

To export mine (1,150 members) I just went to Management > Manage Members, scrolled down to the end, copied all of the data, pasted it into my text editor, copied that, and pasted it into Excel. There was some cleanup required but it worked well.

Btw, the Chrome app didn't work when I tried it.
Deleting original owner account?

 

If I make someone else an owner, and then delete the account with which I originally created my group, will that cause any problems with the continuation of the group?

Thanks, Duane. I¡¯ll have to convince the event planners that this will work. It would be great if there was an email choice to get in touch with?
Those on the wait list, in addition to those who replied affirmatively.
