Hi Jim,
2.? They will accept the
invite.
3.? You will get a notice from yahoo
stating that they have accepted the invite.? At that point, set [email protected] as a moderator
unchecking everything listed for moderators.? They will set that account to
no mail so just leave that setting alone.
Once you have done that send an email to [email protected] letting them know that
you are ready to transfer the group.? Provide to them the address you are
moving from as well as the address you are moving to.
4.? They will transfer all the content from
it's members, files, photos, and message archives to the new group.?
?
As for fixing it to where members cannot post,
could easily set the old group to announcements only but you could easily just
let them keep acting normal in their posts.? Because that conversation will
eventually get moved anyway.
?
I hope that this helps.? Steph

Subject: [GMF] Yahoo Groups move process
I'm getting ready to move a group from Yahoo to here - how have you handled
the transition on the Yahoo side? I don't want people to post to the old site so
I'd disable posting privileges for each member (only 50 or so) or change the
email address. Then maybe delete the Yahoo group after a week or so. How did
everyone handle that, and was there anything else that you did at the
transition?
Thanks,
Jim
