All my questions were answered in this discussion group and so I set my email preference to no email. However, I just wanted to follow up on how groups.io is working for my discussion group.

When I made the switch from Yahoo to Groups.io, I received a number of personal messages expressing their gratitude for getting away from Yahoo and one said Groups.io was a good choice. By chance, on the day the transfer was completed, one member had not known yet it had been (I just learned it myself and had not yet sent a message to everyone informing them of it) and said he was unsubscribing from Yahoo because of the difficulty of creating and losing messages. Recently, one member said it is so much better than Yahoo. There are a few things I have noticed after the transfer. One is that there are more discussion messages than there used to be. I think this is because the turn around time is much better than in Yahoo and so members can actually carry on a conversation instead of waiting hours or a day for a message to go through. The other thing I have noticed is that members who had not participated for a long time are now participating.

That's great, Stan. I know you were initially apprehensive about flipping the switch and am pleased to hear how things have worked out.

Hi Stan,

Good to hear that things have smoothed out and that your members are seeing some advantages to the upheaval!

Rather than “no mail”, I prefer to set GMF and Beta to “first message only”. Then I follow topics that I want to / need to.

See this from Help on Muting and Following and Following Topics and Hashtags.

Frances,

Rather than “no mail”, I prefer to set GMF and Beta to “first message
only”. Then I follow topics that I want to / need to.

Sounds like a page which should be in the Advice to Group Members section of GMF's wiki. For now I'll cite the help Mock-up page for it, though it really deserves some exposition on the how and why of it.

See this from Help on Muting and Following and Following Topics and
Hashtags.

See also this one on Advanced Preferences, and the section on Muting and Following that follows it:
/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Help-Mock-up#Advanced-Preferences

As a kind of experiment I put this in GMF's Goodby message:
-----
If you're unsubscribing because there's a lot of messages here, and few interest you, allow me to recommend using your Advanced Preferences to limit the number of messages emailed to you. If you're curious how that works, have a read about Advanced Preferences, and the following section on Muting and Following.

(with "Advanced Preferences" linked to the above URL)

No one who has left has commented to +owner about it.
