For some reason, when our group was transferred from Yahoo, many settings were eliminated.

The settings on our home page are correct, but apparently being overridden by certain members.

1. ?Is there any way to SORT MEMBERS according to POSTING STATUS

2. ?Is there any way to BATCH CHANGE everyone to moderated posts

Much thanks for all help.

Not via the web interface.

The best way to figure this out is to download your member list to a CSV file (see the download button at the top of Admin>Members). After importing into Excel or similar, you can then sort by the column headers...Posting Status will be in the 6th column.

2. ?Is there any way to BATCH CHANGE everyone to moderated posts.

In Admin>Settings>Spam Control, tick the Moderated checkbox, scroll down and save.?

Now open the member list and tick the checkbox at upper left to select all. Pull down the Actions menu at the bottom of the page and select Change Moderation. When the dialog box pops up, select Use Group Moderation Setting and click the Change button to confirm. Repeat for each pageful of subscribers.

Generally, life will be easier if you forget you ever saw those Posting Privilege override radio buttons.

Thanks again for your help. The only members with a code of ‘1 allowed” are our moderators. Everyone else has codes of 0, 2, 3, &/or 4.

Is it possible the posts that are going thru without moderation are being sent directly from yahoo without any controls??

Though the settings should have been copied if you did a YG transfer, nothing else would be related to that.? GIO is totally independent of Yahoo.? Those with a 0 won't be moderated unless you have a moderated group, those with a 1 will never be moderated, those with a 2 will always be moderated, those with a 3 can't post, and those with a 4 will be moderated for X messages, depending on what you have set for NuM.

Thanks. Unfortunately some posts have gone thru without moderation, and we are still trying to figure this out.

Yahoo apparently did change something when transferring files. I needed to reset a huge number of members back to digest.

Some posts were still being sent from yahoo; as far as I know that option has been closed. I’m hoping those are the only ones that got through.

Yahoo has nothing to do with GIO.? Whatever was set on your YG should have been transferred unless there was a glitch.

How were you getting messages from your YG posted to your GIO group?? Anything posted on YG should only go to the people still there, it shouldn't get to the GIO group.? Are these messages actually in the archives of the GIO group?? If not, they were only sent via email.

An yahooGroup as a whole could be moderated or not. When Verizon shut down Files, Conversations etc., they changed every group to unmoderated. I changed my groups back to moderated in Management - Control Panel - Group Settings. I don't see this option anymore. In Management - Manage Members too. It looks like message moderation is abolished entirely.

Duane, I have absolutely no idea how any of that works. Apparently the transfer allowed for mail to be forwarded from yahoo to groups io for a period of time. Hopefully that was since been closed down. I’m more on the operational end; we have a volunteer helping with the tech stuff.

I'm sure there was no forwarding of mail from Yahoo to Groups.io. However, if people were still posting to the Yahoo list they would have gotten messages from there as well as from the new Groups.io list. Transferring to Groups.io didn't removed them from the Yahoo list, so if it is still active they can still send and receive messages from the Yahoo list. That could cause some confusion.

Nope.? When the information was downloaded from the YG, that's all that was uploaded to GIO.? If any messages after that showed up, someone was sending them to GIO.
