Re: Two Groups Into One


 

Pam,

Is it possible to integrate two Yahoo groups into one groups.io
group here?
Yes. Just perform the transfer twice: once for each Yahoo Group, citing the same Groups.io group as the destination.

/yahootransfer and (the work-in-progress):
/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Transfer-from-Yahoo-Groups

When the neo nonsense started, I found another yahoo platform that
hadn't changed yet, and moved the group there. It ended up changing as
well, of course, and now I'd like to have the messages from both
groups moved into one here, if possible.
Memberships (email addresses) that appear in both Y!groups will be copied as part of the first transfer, then skipped on the second. That will leave the members with the delivery and moderation settings, and join date, they have in the first group.

Messages in the Groups.io group will generally be displayed in date order, so if messages were posted in the two Y!groups concurrently they will appear intermingled in the Groups.io group. But the message numbers will be assigned at the time the messages are copied, so all of the messages from the second group will have higher numbers than those from the first.

Both of the above mean you likely would prefer to transfer the original group first, and the "lifeboat" group second.
