Moderators ability to change email addresses
I like this, but have a couple of questions about it.- NEW: Moderators can now change members' email addresses. If I change someone's email address in my group, and that address isn't currently associated with a groups.io account, will it automatically create an account for them (like the transfer agent did)? It also seems this could become a "back door" for the "direct add" feature previously found only in Premium. Bruce -- Sent from my humble desktop computer |

Re: subscription proceedings
The Pending Member notice should be sent as soon as they try to join your group, though there have been reports of them being delayed, going to the spam folder, or getting lost.? The Email Confirmation email should be sent as soon as they enter an email address that the site doesn't recognize as a current user.

Permission To Send Invitation
The Membership Sec of one of the groups I have brought over is having great trouble sending invitations to new members who have joined since we migrated existing members over from YG.
I haven't seen her screen (despite asking her for a screenshot), but she insists that she does NOT have an Invite option in her Admin menu.? She is not a techie. She is a Moderator, and not an Owner.? Is that the problem? I'm an Owner in my other group and can see this Invite option on my menu. She's driving me mad, as everyone is coming to me but I (stupidly) deleted my Owner membership record last week as I didn't want get involved in the nitty gritty, so I can't help much. Apart from this, I'm hugely enjoying using GIO.? Thanks to one and all for all the help you give. Tim |

Re: subscription proceedings
Victoria,
For the First:? There may not be much, if anything, that you can do about that [spam] notice.? It's probably a function of the email service used to receive messages, though it could be something in the email client.? Some people have found that changing the wording of the message helps.? Also increasing the text to link ratio.? Mark did a lot of tweaking with the standard emails to reduce the chances of it happening to most people. Second:? The NC next to the member name means they haven't confirmed that email address with the Groups.io site.? Once they click on the link in the email that was sent to confirm it, the NC will go away.? If their status doesn't change in a few days, you have the option at the bottom of their member detail page to Send Confirmation Email again, in case it got 'lost'.? Each person only has to confirm once per email address for the entire site, so this will only happen if they've never used Groups.io before.

Re: Can transferring files be done separately?
#files
Shal,
Thank you for that information!? It gives me hope that we may be able to transfer our photos. My 750-member group had a smooth migration from Yahoo Group?to Groups.io about two weeks ago in all but one respect: only about 20% of our several hundred photos transferred over.? The transfer report from GIO said this was due to problems at Yahoo.? The photos are still up on the Yahoo version of the group, and I've been stressing over how to move 'em lock-stock-and-barrel over to the new group on Groups.io. Would you say it's likely that a second try following your directions has a good shot at getting more photos properly moved, or is that more likely to move the same photos and get the same error message from Groups.io? After 15 years on Yahoo Groups our group's moderators and members are finding life at Groups.io like a breath of fresh air.? Imagine, a groups platform that actually works like a well-oiled machine!? Who'd have thunk it?? ?Kudos to Mark and his team at GIO on the great job they've done! Thanks, Milt Baker, Nordhavn Owners Group |

subscription proceedings
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýHello, ? I have two more questions concerning subscription proceedings: ? First: After a would be member has signed up she/he qutomatically gets the questionnaire via member notice. This works fine now. But the questionnaire has (spam) in front of the subject, the header looking like this: ? ------------------------------------------------ ? ------------------------------------------------ ? Second: As owner of the group I now get the following message: -------------------------------------------- Email pending member ?applied to join your group [email protected]. Because the group is restricted, you will need to approve their subscription before they can join. To approve this member via email, simply reply to this message. To reject this member via email, forward this message to: NOTE: The pending subscription will expire after 14 days. If you do not take action within that time, the pending subscription will be automatically rejected. Thank you for choosing Groups.io Groups. Cheers, ----------------------------------------------- I then clicked on¡±view the pending member¡±, then clicked on the check box next to the pending and chose ¡°approve¡±. I get the message: --------------------------------------------- ? This is to notify you that email pending member has joined your group [email protected]. ? To turn off this notification, log into and edit your subscription. ? Thank you for choosing Groups.io groups. ? Cheers, ? The Groups.io Team ----------------------------------------- ? Please tell me what I am doing wrong. Must I confirm twice?? ? Victoria ? ? ? |

Re: Photo Album Ownership And Control
#membership
I have a lot of albums transferred from Yahoo! Groups, which seem to have reverted to Personal access but I can't see the owner. I am laboriously changing these to Group, so members can add photos. How do you see the owner of a Personal album, after entering Edit Album?
I would like to be able to see the settings without entering each album, in a list format. Regards John Russell |

Just a comment regarding messages with hashtags. When I transferred over my largest group I found a number of messages with hashtags. That group had never used hashtags. BUT there were several members who used the number sign in subject lines such as "Old #9", which groups.io interpreted as hashtags. Note that hashtags go at the end of a subject so the subject lines were also garbled. I searched for them and found probably a dozen messages with the problem. I was able to edit the subject line to change "#" to "no.", "number" or similar and the problem went away along with making those subject lines comprehensible again. I just toss this out as experience for others who may run into this. Dano ----- Original Message -----
Figured out the answer -- to all my questions. The group is still transferring 18 years of posts, which is allowing lots of photos, files, display settings, etc., to get linked to their proper members. The latest post in the activity log ias number 113554, and it's dated April, '14, so we've got a ways to go. We thought the transfer was complete 3 days ago and it's not. Dave |
