Hi Sharon,
When I did my migration from Y!G last week, I put all 1,000+ email addresses in a file and uploaded the addresses.? See the bottom of the invite screen.
It took about an hour for the request to be approved.? At which point, when I clicked on?
Sent Invitations, I was able to see they had all gone out (and which bounced).? My workflow was the following:
- Initial bulk invite to Y!G in conjunction with a?Y!G?Special Notice so people wouldn't freak out.? ;)
- As people signed up, I received a boatload of notifications (as configured).
- Two days later, I went back to the?Sent Invitations screen and culled all those that?Accepted (I wanted to keep track) and I resent the invitations.? Once again, in conjunction with a Y!G?Special Notice
The last four days I've been doing the last step once a day.? Tonight (local time) I'm going to?
soft close my Y!G (flip it to moderate all messages).? I'll leave it be for a week and delete it.? During this final week, if there are any posts to Y!G, I'lll reply to them to join the new group.?
My migration was relatively easy because I had no content to preserve.? I just needed to migrate 1,000+ subscribers.? As of this writing, 650+ came over.? No time like now to clean house!? :)
