I am ready to transfer my other group. The transfer form raises some questions. The first two are no doubt evident to many in this group, but I want to make sure.
1. It asks for the name of the groups.io group. I have subgroups. Assume the main group is called Wine and has subgroups. It would be listed in the drop down list when click on the field to enter the group name. I assume Support/Transfer will know Wine is the main group and that its email address is [email protected] and not [email protected]. Correct? 2. I created subgroups but there is nothing from Yahoo that needs to be transferred to the subgroups. They are listed in the drop down list when I click on the field to enter the group name. I assume I just ignore the subgroups and just enter the main group, like I would do above. Is that correct? 3. I see there is now an option to not have the welcome message automatically sent to the members when the transfer is complete. If I understand this correctly, if uncheck this option, it will not send the automated message that gives a member the option to immediately unsubscribe and it will not send the welcome message that I created. Is this correct? If so, this is a great development for two reasons: a) now members will not receive a message that allows them to immediately unsubscribe, and b) I can better control when the members know the transfer had taken place so that I can better coordinate the shutting down (not allowing members to post) of Yahoo and members knowing to now post in the IO group. 4. The first sentence of step 4 says: "Come back here, select your transfer, and tell us that you are ready for the transfer to happen." I am confused by this. Is this a holdover from the previous method to start the transfer by sending a message to [email protected] that is no longer needed because of the new form? If I understand the new procedure, all I do is create the group (which has been done), make [email protected] a moderator with all moderator privileges unchecked (which I will do), and then just submit the new form. I no longer send an email message to Support or [email protected] that the Yahoo group is ready to be transferred. Correct? Stan |
