Bruce, you are correct. This change hasn't been well documented, but it was just after our experience that Mark created the form on the join page. That was prompted not only by that change but by the desire for people to be able to verify that their transfer was indeed in process. Of course that doesn't mean that the invitation process won't work, either. By inviting the transfer agent and still filling out the form, a group owner stands a better chance of getting the transfer agent onto the Yahoo group to be transferred. Somewhat of a belt-and-suspenders way of looking at the situation.

We were able to have the transfer agent use the "request membership" process instead to get a couple groups I was helping to get moved, and I believe the transfer agent is now using that method to join your Yahoo group. Hmmm...both the Yahoo group transfer instructions and the GMF wiki still state that you have to manually send the transfer agent an invitation. There is no suggestion that the agent will send Yahoo a membership request; and depending on group settings this might not even be possible. It's been a couple months since I've done this and quite a bit has changed since then. Someone needs to confirm the actual process so the documentation can be kept current. Regards, Bruce |
