Re: What to do if your YGroup's transfer to Groups.io is incomplete? . . . . . . .

 

Rick,

I'm assuming when the member count on the .IO specific-Group WEB Home page
"jumps" and you also get a Welcome message from the Group, (to a spare test account),
at that point the system "thinks" it is done. (Correct?)

I'm not sure of the exact timing of when the member count might bump up, but when you receive the "You have been added" message and/or the group's Welcome member notice then it is complete.

I know that the members are copied into the Groups.io group first, before the other content. So I don't know if the count is of itself a reliable indicator.

IF toggling the message view button in the upper right hand corner on the
Groups .IO WEB message reader page jumps 5 years suddenly going in reverse,
would that be an indication the transfer is incomplete for messages,
or an indexing and or a display problem?

Again, I don't know the details of how the content is copied in. When you first see old messages from the Y!Group appear then the copy has probably finished, at least for messages - I think that likely goes quickly if not at once.

Disclaimer: I am looking as a normal MEMBER and have no elevated privileges
in that specific Group.

The specific owner/moderator of the Groups.io group who initiated the transfer will also get a transfer complete notice from Groups.io. But for a member of the group there are only the two notices I mentioned, and both are optional. That is, the owner/mod could have chosen to send neither a "You've been added" nor a "Welcome" notice to the Y!Group members that were copied in.

Also, if you joined the Groups.io group before the transfer then your address won't be copied in during the transfer and you won't receive either notice.

Shal
