Hi Frances, Yep. They will be able to fully participate through email. Only functions accessed through the website require an account with a password. Mark

Hi Mark If they are not already a member of Groups.io, what can they do after they are moved from YahooGroups without further steps on their part? Can they post (send emails) to my group? Will they

Frances, If they were already members of Groups.io, their groups.io account wouldn't change. If they had never joined a Groups.io group, their accounts would not have passwords set. If they wanted to

Once the members are "moved" to Groups.io, what does those people have to do? Do they automatically have sign-ins to Groups.io? Does their password follow them? I guess these may seem simplistic, but

Marlin, Brilliant. That would work too, and might be a lot easier for most owners to handle. They wouldn't need to make Mark's account an owner, the Moderator role with none of the privilege

Mark, Or maybe not. I'm probably a poor judge of what a new or casual user considers easy or hard. That was two of the first bits of advice I learned when I joined a moderator help group: 1) have a

Changes to the site today: - Fixed an issue when removing multiple Re:/Fwd: parts in a subject line - Fixed subdomain issues when posting via web to groups in an organization - Changed MembersVisible

Hi Mark, Marlin's suggestion is perfect! When we're ready to go, I have two groups for you to join and you'll be promoted to owner just as soon as I notify the membership to expect the transfer. All

Mark, a question.... Why bother with a test account? Why not simply join the group yourself, and then have the owner of the group find your membership on the membership

Mark, I own sever Yahoo Groups and have full moderator control to at least 5 others. We just have the main account. With one of them having more than 17,000 members, that more than enough work. LOL

Well, maybe I'm wrong. Do you think most moderators have a throwaway test account already signed up to their group? And that they wouldn't mind giving access to that account to someone else? So, in

Mark, I love your ‘nerd explanations’. It always makes sense to me, especially since I’m not a techy. Thank you. Judy F. SW Florida - USA

Mark, I'm curious what makes that a high bar? I was thinking that for most people using or creating a least-privileged mod account would be a lower bar than figuring out how to export the email

Changes to the site over the past couple of days: - Fixed digests when a message has been deleted before the digest was sent out, which could lead to empty digests - Pluses in file/directory names

Summarizing the feedback so far from my proposal on group transfers. The original proposal: - Create the new group at Groups.io - Change the description of your existing group to include a link to the

fyi, I've fixed the encoding bug that Marlin's post triggered. <nerd explanation>It actually had nothing to do with encoding or decoding the email itself. Instead it was an issue with how we were

Mark, The reason I'm concerned about conversions is that they are a source of error. A member of my GMF group on Yahoo ceased to be able to use Google groups because her group used a non-ISO

Hi Frances, Good catch. There were a couple bugs involved there, and they've been fixed. Please let me know if you see any other problems. Thanks, Mark

We do pay attention to character set encodings, along with content-transfer-encodings, and we do preserve the encodings. All Groups.io web pages are UTF-8, so when displaying archives, we convert

Shal, it is just a little bit more complicated than I suspected. I have a test group on groups.io, just like you do. After extensive testing today, I have found that if I send a new message,
