I received an email this morning about a forums based platform called
forums.group:



I plan to stay with groups.io but this is another option and has more
plans than GIO does. I thought I'd mention it in case some people are
waiting until almost the very end, which is in a few days.

I haven't checked out their service but I think their marketing plan
started way too late since most have already moved their Yahoo groups
to a different platform already.

I did note that the free plans don't allow posts by email, so that
will kill the idea for most people. I don't know if this is a
recurring fee, but their premium level allows email hosting and other
useful features and they price it at $90. I haven't dug any deeper
than one level into their website to find out if it's $90 annually or
a one time fee.

They have other services that you use up-front, and one of them claims
to bring the message archive back:


Plan 3: Archive Forum With Messages, Files, Photos
If you have an inactive Yahoo Group and simply want to make the
existing archives available online without restarting discussions,
this is ideal. The messages, files and photos are made available with
full search functions available as well as the similar topics function
that cross-references each post. This level is typical ordered for
INACTIVE groups that just want to make their archives available online
for reference purposes. The forum contains all the messages and
members that have posted in the past, but silent members have been
omitted. We will not be sending login details to the members, yet they
can use the lost password feature to reset their password. As this
type of forum is designed for archiving, we will leave it online for
at least 10 years even without further activity.

I would bet that this would only be for those groups that allowed a
web group to archive all posts (some group was doing that just before
Yahoo closed message storage).

I'll let someone else with more time to look into this further. I've
been working some 50-60 hour work weeks so time is harder to find
right now than it was months ago. (We're doing more with less, as they
say.)

I would check if the LINK that you sent them is the same as the text of the link.

I made this mistaken recently when copy/pasting information from one IO group to the pages of another IO group: I edited the text of URLs, but the underlying hyperlink remained the same.

For example, if you typed "/g/Endicott-Gen" in the Endicott-Gen group, and pressed space after it, Groups.io converts it into a hyperlink for "/g/Endicott-Gen". But if you then copy that group's text to another group and you only edit the "Endicott-Gen" part of the visible text to "Howard-Gen", the underlying hyperlink still points to "/g/Endicott-Gen". When you edit the text of a hyperlink, you must remove the hyperlink (click the link and select the icon that disconnects the hyperlink) and then reconnect it (e.g. by moving to the end of it and pressing space).

Clicking your Howard Gen link took me to [email protected]

Clicking your Endicott gen link took me to Endicott Family Genealogy Forum [email protected]

Are you sure you are sending the right link ?

Or are they clicking the right link ?

Kyle,

They clicked on the following hyperlink I provided them:
/g/Howard-Gen
and the groups.io website sends them to one of my other forums:
/g/Endicott-Gen

Typed out in plain text as they were in your message, they each seem to go to the respective group.

I have been messaging members of the Yahoogroups.com forums that they
need to migrate to the new forums at groups.io.

Perhaps when creating your messages to the Yahoo Groups you created the message as formatted text, rather than plain text. In which case it would be possible for you to have accidentally given the same address for both links, even though the display text of the links were different.

That's just a guess of course, but it could be verified or falsified by examination of the View Source (or Show Original) of one of those messages as received back from your groups. Or maybe even in the sent copy. In Thunderbird that's Ctrl+U (or View | Message Source).

Hi,

I have a number of email forums/groups I have transferred from Yahoogroups.com.?? I have been messaging members of the Yahoogroups.com forums that they need to migrate to the new forums at groups.io.? A number of them have run into a problem (and I have verified the problem).? They clicked on the following hyperlink I provided them:

/g/Howard-Gen

and the groups.io website sends them to one of my other forums:

/g/Endicott-Gen

This, of course, does not make any sense to me.? Does anyone have a solution for this problem?? Thank you

How do I set the permissions so that when someone tries to join a sub Group they have to be approved?

It's on the Settings page for the subgroup, in the Spam Control panel.? Make it a Restricted subgroup.? Works just like the main group, but totally separate.

It's in the Features panel at the bottom of the Settings page.

I'm still fumbling my way around the service.

There's a learning curve, no question.

Hello everyone, does anybody know how to move group archives from a group on Google groups to groups.io?

The new Teaching Jobs in France group was created and a few hours later approved. However, I saw that I could no longer ADD members, just SEND invitations.

Wanting to go back, I decided to delete the group (of which I was the only member at the time) and create a new one of the same name.

Apparently you didn't delete the group.? (I'd guess you didn't follow the confirmation procedure to actually delete it.)? I believe it's /g/TeachingJobsInFrance (started December 9 with 79 members) so you should be good to go.

SO, where are we? Will our group be shut down, needing to be recreated? Or will it go on functioning as if I had not chosen to delete it?

When you delete a group, that group name can't be used again for some undetermined time.? You'll need to find a similar name that will work.? There's a remote chance that you could contact [email protected] to see if they'd let you use the original name, but it could take some time, if at all.

I'm not sure why you thought you could add the members when creating the group.? On a Basic/free group (or a trial Premium group), you can only invite folks, have them use the +subscribe address, or use the join/apply button on the group home page.? You could upgrade for a month to use Direct Add to get started if you want.

Have a look at the Help Center and read some of the manuals there.? It should help you get started and answer most questions you may have about how the site operates.

9PM 10 Dec? Calendar Seems to be restored and back functioning normally
THANK YOU BRUCE FOR YOUR HELP!!!

All my groups' Calendars are still displaying as blank, but one of my groups just sent a Reminder 8 minutes ago on time (from its blank Calendar).

I'm experiencing that too.
