Does anyone know if there is an easy way to count the number of messages a Y!G has?

Visit your YahooGroup
Click on ¡°Conversations¡±
The most recent messages will be displayed.
The message # is in the lower right corner
The message # of the top (most recent) message is the total # of messages in your YahooGroup

If you look at the sequence number on the latest message that will provide an upper limit.

The URL of each message on the Yahoo website contains the message number (same at io, I see), so just check the most recent one.

?Look at the last message number on the web UI.

Upper limit is correct. The actual number of messages to be transferred will be less if messages have been deleted from the Y!group. I'm assuming Mark is counting only those that remain in the Y!group's Conversations section.

I can't think of a ready way to determine the number of remaining messages. Possibly could tell you that.

The most current msg# is the last used number, not necessarily the number of messages present (could be many deletions in a big long running group).? So the last used sequence number gives you the upper bound of the number of messages.
I found that you can count the number of messages by:
Conversations -> Actions -> Message History, then select the text of the table of message counts by month.
In Excel, open a blank worksheet and do Paste Special -> Select Paste As Text - and paste in the counts.
Use AutoSum to sum the rows, then sum the column of row totals.
In one group I'm in, the sequence # was?26021, but the total count of messages was 21799.

Thanks, everyone.? Upper bound is fine.? We are nowhere near the 100,000 message limit.

Best,

Glenn
