Mark Fletcher, who created Onelist which was sold to Yahoo and became Yahoo Groups, is the sole owner, as far as I know, of Groups.IO and he created this service in September 2014. Google, as far as I know, has nothing to do with Groups.IO. Most owners let their membership know about the change and let them know why. Mark will transfer the content for you from what I have been reading. Since you have much valuable information in your archives, you may want to consider making your list public in Groups.IO. I have had huge problems with Yahoo Groups over the years, but I have had no real problems with Groups.IO since I started my first group in Groups.IO in October 2014 and other groups later. Since you cannot post to Yahoo Groups at this time, it would not hurt to keep an archive there and make Groups.IO your active group. I hope that these ideas help.
Hopefully, you did not delete your posts from your groups in your Gmail account so you have your content archived in your Gmail account sent mail.
I hope that these thoughts help you.
Sincerely,

It's after midnight and too late to do anything now. I? did go look and am willing to try this even though I
can't tell the people at this list I'm doing this. As far as I can read, the groups.io allows me to transfer
the files, the pictures, and postings from Yahoo to this other place and it provides the same services.
There's a lot of stuff on Wwtta so I'm guessing that groups.io is big. Who is running it? someone has to
provide the space - and pay for it. Or it comes from google?
I am digitally challenged but can do things if given instructions. when I look at what is called the home page
I see no instructions
/
but I do find them here:
/static/yahootransfer
I am now taking the first step. Let's see if Wwtta takes the transfer groups URL.
