Yahoo owners & Moderators,
?
Folks, you still have the ability to tell others your group has MOVED from Yahoo to GIO.?
?
On your Yahoo ABOUT page, there is a Group Description.? You can make it with color fonts and walking banners if needed to get the attention of site visitors on that page who may want to subscribe there.
?
Here is a good example to check out for getting people's attention;
?
Also, on one of the groups I belong to, the owner has an outlook AUTOMATIC email reminder sent to his group twice a week, telling folks to unsubscribe from the Yahoo Group and join on GIO. Thus, in a month of inactivity, a minimum of 6 emails in the groups message base were to unsubscribe and join GIO with all of the joining details.

Doing these 2 actions setup once will be a continuous reminder to folks looking for your group on Yahoo.?
?
Here's a sample of the automatic reminder. ?

Can we still change the ABOUT page on YahooGroups.

Aren't automatic reminders files?? Files are gone, so will automatic reminders still go out?

Mod's note - added -"on YahooGroups" for clarity.

One thing to add...
Yahoo groups has slowed way down. Have patience when you click on anything. It takes a long time to load.

Thanks. We are not using yahoo any more, but apparently some members are still sending their posts to them rather than to groups io.

That stands to reason, as they have the yahoogroups.com email address pre-populated in their email clients. If you expect people to post to the new group you cannot leave the old one up and running. It's way too confusing for everybody.

SamiJo,?

I'm the OP on this thread.? The trhead was created to HELP STOP folks from using the old Yahoo email and focus on GroupsIO.? :)

So, having the YG Description field with bold color text and even a clickable link to get to your GroupsIO page is the way to setup the YG Description page.?

AND the other trick is to have an automated email sent out to the old YG folks to UNSUBSCRIBE from there and JOIN your GIO here. :)?? You can set this up in outlook OR from what I'm understanding in the GIO calendar to send out a notice to the the old YG to post directly to them.?

This way, it's nearly all automatic after it's setup and working. :)
