Re: Bug in Groups.io?

#5059

Hi Shal & All,

About 2:00PM EST USA when trying to access my groups I got this:

I didn't have time then to do any research into this and just got back on line. Now I'm getting blocked by Norton.?

This is the "Full Report"

Any ideas or can I find out more?

Is this true and what are the consequences of this. Should potential subjects hold back from initiating any transfers form YahooGroups until the situation is clarified?

I very much doubt it is true. There have been other reports in a thread in beta:

I'm not planning to hold up any of the three group transfers I'm in line for, I'm sure Mark is working to understand the cause of these reports and correct it. I linked to your posting there so Mark might contact you to get any additional information you might have.

Rumor has it that Norton is reporting it, too.

My probable scenario:?

-- Yahoo group owner(s) fail to adequately notify his/her members of an upcoming migration (possibly because they were set on "no email").

-- A few of those brave souls click on the link anyway during today's system maintenance. Up pops a cat photo.

-- Panic ensues.

Re: QUESTION RE - CHANGING THE AUTO RESPONSE SETTING ON MESSAGES

In the Settings for your group, look for Message Policies. The sixth item listed is Reply To. Change your selection to Sender. Scroll all the way down to the bottom and click Update Group, to save your new setting.

Hope that helps,

QUESTION RE - CHANGING THE AUTO RESPONSE SETTING ON MESSAGES

#5055

开云体育

I am finding the Group Managers Forum extremely difficult to navigate.

?

I am trying to find out if there is a way to change the "apparent" default when someone posts a message to the entire group.

?

Currently, every time a member posts a message to the forum it goes to every member in the group.

?

NO PROBLEM.

?

However, if I want to reply to the sender and click on the reply button and type my response it automatically gets sent back to ALL members of the group.??

?

Is there a way (like we used to be able to set in Yahoo) to have the default set to reply to originator only??

?

Thanks for your help.

?

Bug in Groups.io?

Re: After 6 days, still no transfer from yahoogroups

#5052

Dave,

We're trying, but it's difficult when for 3 1/2 weeks we've been waiting while others get transferred and YG group members ask when is it happening?

?

Three and a half weeks does seem excessive. Maybe there is a problem in your case.

Is there any evidence of a transfer in progress, such as have some of the addresses from the Y!Group appeared in the Groups.io group? Actually, I don't know if it works that way. Mark might collect all of the information from Yahoo before loading it all at once into the Groups.io group.

Anyway, it might be worth sending a follow-up message to the transfer agent, in case the "Go" you sent got lost. After this much time I don't think he'd consider it "nagging". Include a copy of the information from that message and its date/time and the address it was from (if an owner of the Groups.io group other than you).

During today’s outage, the Groups.IO twitter feeds was constantly being updated. It was so reassuring to get real time accurate info.

Just a suggestion for those who might not have been aware of this avenue for info.

Re: Your group has been transfered

#5046

Stan,

The subject of this group matches the title I gave my message I sent two
days ago. If your message is motivated by the message I sent, then it
was released to the group but I never received the email.

Yup. A short message from you heads this topic.

This must be a case where the message never came through because
of my ISP.

There is something up with your ISP, but I don't have a record for that particular message.
Here's what I see in your Email Delivery History page:

You should be able to see the same (or similar) information through the tab on your
Subscription page.

Betreff: Re: [GMF] Disable invitation text

?

Victoria,

I wrote a German invitation text, but it shows up in the midst of the preset English text. Is it possible to disable the English invitation text?
?

My solution is to put my text inside of horizontal lines:

Salutation,

In the body I put all the information and links I think they'll need to decide whether to join, and to join. Basically I treat this area as if it were the whole message and the boilerplate wasn't there.

If you have any questions, let me know.

Yours
Myname
My personal email address

I think that helps draw the eye to the change between boilerplate and custom text, sort of giving the eye permission to ignore the boilerplate.

Re: Number of Groups.io Members

#5044

Duane,

I was looking over my groups this morning and found there was a new
member from yesterday with a posterid of 1,630,540!Zowie!

But the number of listed groups has only increased to 4747. So either some big unlisted groups, or an average group size of 3600 for the new ones. Or some combination more likely.

No. My group just got transferred yesterday (one week after the request was sent), and one (and only) pending member wasn't transferred.
