I am the Owner of the group.? I did as you describe below
(Moderators tab) and it displays 4 moderators.? 3 of them are me of which
one is the owner (me).
?
Can I simply create the GroupsIO thing and invite people?? I
know the transfer thing is far better because I did it with another group about
6 months ago.? I know all the wonderful benefits the transfer thing does
but Yahoo is frustrating me by not allowing me to invite or add new
members.
?That
would mean that you don't have the moderator privilege to Invite and add
members.?
?
What
now?
?
?The
bad news is that likely means that you also do not have the privilege to Add,
remove, and change moderator privileges?, and lacking that you won't be able
to complete your part of Step 3.
?
But
just to be sure, go to the Moderators tab of the group's Manage
Members page and click on any moderator's row (green crown), for example
your own. If an Edit Membership box comes up you're in luck. You have the
privilege to change privileges, and can give yourself the privilege to invite
members.
?
Otherwise, unless you can
solicit the help of an owner of the group, or a moderator with the needed
privileges, you are pretty much out of luck as far as the easy Yahoo Group
transfer is concerned. Your option is to use Invite or Direct Add
(premium groups only) to bring the Manage Members list of the Y!Group into the
Groups.io group you created for Step 0.
?
If the
Y!Group has more than 1000 members there are ways around that, refer to on Yahoo Groups.
