Hello, they have to be a member of the sub group before they can become a moderator. So in the members list, you need to look for them an application if they have applied to the sub room, and then under where it says member, change that to Moderator and then select their permissions.

Duane,
I have no idea about the security of this but for me it worked well. I used it as a tool to learn
about json.
You can try this tool I made: Mr. Data Converter
It converts to JSON, XML and others.
It's all client side, too, so your data never leaves your computer. Shan Carter
OK,
Tony

Re: Is there a way to download/export member lists from the main group and all subgroups as one file?
Thanks Duane,
I share your concern about having my data floating out there.? I also end up with separate files that then have to be combined, but seems like the subgroups really act as separate entities for a lot of things including storage limits.? Interesting, but not as helpful as it could be.

Re: Is there a way to download/export member lists from the main group and all subgroups as one file?
Thanks Bruce,
hmmmmm
First, I have my stuff set for infinite scroll,and like the database feature, it doesn't work on the subgroup listing.? I also have the fun of having to scroll many screens to the right (we used long subgroup names) for each member.? With 500+ members.
Seems like if we can see it in the main group settings, the base code is already set up, and we should be able to get a file. I guess I'll go ask for it because I will need to do this periodically, and I'm too lazy to copy downloads into files and then try to massage them.
Ideas are always welcome....

Cal -- At the bottom of the "change plan" page (/g/GROUPNAME/plans), it says the following: "You can change plans at any time. If downgrading, the downgrade will take effect after the currently paid period." This seems fairly clear, although I haven't actually done it myself. Regards, Bruce?

I have exported the main json files (as well as the subgroups), but I can't figure out if the file contains the data that I need, and if so, how to extract it from that file. I have Excel 2016, and it doesn't have the "easy" way to import json files apparently.

Going from premium to free
Some of our groups began as annual premium for the Yahoo Groups transfers.? We're looking to have those be free groups after the year is over.
If I switch a group back to free now, will it wait until the end of the 12 months, or will I lose the premium features (direct add, subgroups) immediately?? If it's the latter, how can tell the system that I don't want to renew the premium without killing the premium features immeidately?

Shal; your post covered several points within the overall subject, so it was not easy to decide which bit to quote! I can see the point you are making above, but have reservations about it. I can see that "rot" could be a problem with draft and early issues of a document, but over time things should stabilise, perhaps following the early part of a bathtub curve, hopefully never reaching the end where the curve shoots rapidly upwards again! Where numbering exists in the form that is currently used (in the pdf version, obvs) it is easy to add bits without screwing up the entire document; an existing example is section 4.4.X. where X is currently in the range 1 to 9. That could easily become a range of 1 to 99 without it upsetting anything else in the process. Without numbering trying to refer anyone to any given section may be unnecessarily problematic, so for now at least I think numbering is (much) better than no numbering. Having said that I have found other concerns; while the sections about Files (15) and Photos (17) have this warning very close to the beginning of each section: Note: Group owners determine whether the Files feature is available in their groups and, if it is, who canview and upload files: all members or only owners and moderators. (or Photos as the case may be) A little later there are sections for Uploading Files / Uploading Photos with tables showing the sequence of operations to be carried out. Below each of those sections there is another caveat: Note: If the Upload File button or Upload Directory button is not available, either the group has reachedits storage limit or members are not allowed to upload files to the group.Now IMHO that caveat ought to be the first entry in the table, not appended underneath it where the member will not see it until after he or she has tried to follow the instructions and failed. Another concern is that while things like setting up, Files, Photos, and Hashtags (and so on) each have their own defined sections there is no defined section about Attachments, although various salient points about them are included overall. What is not included (as far as I can see after several searches) is the highly salient point that a Group Owner may have decided not to enable attachments, so a member who finds that their attachments don't work will find no help from the Members Manual whatsoever. At the moment I am reluctantly coming to the conclusion that in the event of any "difficulty" arising I could not with a clear conscience point any enquiring member towards the Manual for fear that they won't be able to find an answer, and even more relucantly coming to the conclusion that my trying to iron out any initial anomalies may be a fruitless exercise.

Chris, Although I will not pretend to have researched this exhaustively I
came away with the conclusion that (a) the Index in the pdf version is
better, and (b) the lack of section numbers in the single page version
is a weakness. It is, but I've been assuming that the single-page version is a stop-gap that allows the use of browser search capability. It will be much less interesting once the primary (multi-page) version has a dedicated search feature. Maybe it will even be taken down at that point (I actually hope not). ... if there there are to be two different formats then IMHO their
appearance should - insofar as is practicable - be the same. That's an ideal, but I think the three formats that are there right now serve different purposes, and their formatting distinctions go with the use case. An argument against section numbers in the online version has been made, noting that those numbers "rot" as the document content evolves: Add a new section and that changes the numbering of ensuing sections at the same level. That kind of behavior is a poor experience for an online document that is supposed to be revised as needed. The text that you read in section 1.3 just now might be in section 1.4 seconds after you cite it. On the other hand, in print (PDF) documents that kind of "rot" is integral to the semi-permanent format. This kind of document is like a physical book: for an accurate citation you must include the edition of the document as well as the section number. For online documents some form of Permalink mechanism would be my preference - a link icon with each section header, and the underlying URL unchanging. The old Help pages have that (they appear when you hover to the left of the header), but only for the top-level headers: /static/helpI'd make them always visible, and on all header levels. Possibly over to the right edge, more like message number permalinks. I'd also make their URLs as short as practical, even to the point of using a serial number for each section rather than a mnemonic. That is, i'd rather see something like: /helpcenter/membersmanual/539than a monstrosity like: /helpcenter/membersmanual/1/understanding-groups-io-accounts/setting-account-preferences-and-viewing-account-information#Setting-up-two-factor-authenticationbut that's a battle I'm likely to lose.
