If I didn't have 10,000+ members, I would not be as concerned.

Susan -- 10,000 members is problematical, as has already been stated. This is because you cannot readily download them all using the Y!G web interface. You should, however, be able to access them using one of the tools that Shal has previously mentioned here.

I have heard $10 and $110.

Well, kinda.

It costs $110 for Premium Yearly. This is necessary if you want the groups.io transfer agent to move your Yahoo group for you, which includes most group content (except for calendar entries and message attachments).

If all you're interested in doing is moving your subscribers, and you can get a complete list of them, then $10 is the cost for Premium Monthly. This allows you to Direct Add (shanghai) all those members into your group, without using the invitation system. This is a significant convenience factor.

If your group is small (<1GB of storage), and you want to do it all on the cheap, and you have a lot of time on your hands, and you can get a complete list of members somehow, and are willing to transfer all your other content manually -- then you can create a group under the Basic plan, invite the members using the list you downloaded, and upload all the content manually. See also?/g/GroupManagersForum/message/19293?for more information on how to do the uploads.

I feel like maybe Bruce or someone should send a repeat message out to go over stuff for new people just joining in.

Okay, I've done that. But to be a little blunt, I've sent 70 (yes, 70) messages over the past three days, covering virtually every aspect of this process. It strikes me as reasonable that folks coming in late spend just a little time?using the message archive search engine or scanning the GMF wiki. Most of the information is already there, if people would just take a minute to look for it.

Hope this helps,
Bruce?

1. Can I add a list of hastags all at once?
2. Is there an option to have a Like button for forum messages?
3. Can a group owner modify the display name of a member? (E..g to include Apt. Number)
4. Is there a display Preview option for content at external liinks?
5. Are animations like Gyphy permitted?

Thanks!

No. It is an RSS feed by which the content of your group may be accessed...IF the group archives are public.

Hi , What does the ``feed?? mean? I assumed it would be similar to Facebook Feed, timeline of the posts within the group, but i guess thats not the case?

Hi , I am new to the website and trying to understand if this serves the purpose I entail to use it for. Either way , my question is following. Are Post replies visible to all members of the team? And I will be able to find the Post with the hashtag right ?

I am seeing this attachment on all my emails from my group

Judi -- No attachment came over here, so we're kind of in the dark.

Why is this an attachment?

Taking a guess...some types of embedded images are converted to attachments by groups.io. I cannot provide a clear reason why some and not others.

Also, Outlook automatically creates a winmail.dat file that is sometimes (read: often unnecessarily) attached to messages it sends in html format.

Beyond that, you will have to be more specific as to what the problem is, or (preferably) send us a screenshot.

Bruce

judi@...

Thank you.? I found the link and info.

jack

Robert....

I am not sure that I follow the above.? I want to do one thing.? I want to save 11 years worth of emails from my yahoo group. Will the The Chrome applications that Mark Fletcher wrote do this for me?? What kind of file format will all the emails be in??

I am not interested in down loading a list of members.? I want to down load all the email on the forum.

Is this a tool that will do that?? Are other tools available?

Thank you,

jack

I paid the $110.00 Then I started the transfer.? Normally, will I/O move over all my email?? If they will then problem solved.

They did say something about yahoo not working well, and maybe they would not be able to transfer everything over.? What do I do if not all the email comes over?

Linda, that you for the link to

I will check it out.

Bruce, do you have any thoughts on saving all my email?? I would like it to appear in the I/O group after i moves over.

Thanks everyone for the help.

I'm almost positive I invited [email protected] yesterday, but I just did it again, and YG confirmed the invitation was sent successfully.

Deborah -- It's entirely possible that you did everything right. Yahoo's invitation system is just one of many things that have become increasingly unreliable.

So, I'll just sit tight and wait for i.o to respond. Once I see their status banner acknowledge receipt of the invite I'll be able to relax a bit.

I've been there, and understand that this is stressful, probably even more so under the circumstances. Once you get the process completed you will not only breathe easier, but delight in working with a platform that -- for the most part -- will work the way you expect it to. [Not to mention have a support group that is actually responsive.]

Bruce

James -- I understand completely. Photos and such are generally replaceable, old messages often are not.

When I got the email from I/O , they said they may not be able to transfer all of it - it seems like yahoo is acting up (I can believe that).? But if all my email is not moved over, I'd not know what to do.

If it sets your mind at ease, the message archive is usually the one thing that has reliably transferred intact. There are no guarantees, though, under the circumstances.

Do you or anyone else know of any software tools I can use or buy that would let me down load all my email?

If you have a lot of spare time on your hands, there are other options to download and save content from Yahoo Groups. Shal has previously mentioned three options in the following post:??/g/GroupManagersForum/message/19204?. I have used PG Offline successfully in the past, and Robert has given detailed instructions on how to use the Chrome browser add-on in?/g/GroupManagersForum/message/19222?.

Or can I pay I/O extra money to have them give it another go at getting all my past email?

If you've paid the $110 for Premium Yearly, there is no additional cost involved in having the transfer agent make another attempt. You need only delete the completed transfer and start afresh. Be sure to UNcheck the boxes for those content areas that you don't want to retry.

Hope this helps,
Bruce

I had to do it twice but it took about a day.?

Susan, there has been quite a bit of discussion here about this. (Understatement!)?
See suggestions about the message archives.
And also about inviting members using Groups.io?
/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Inviting-new-members

But I wanted to say that you could put a message on your YahooGroups saying that your site is moving.
Put in the new address.?
Before you do that, you might want to consider your setup on Groups.io.

Hi again,

Using Preview may distort your image. However it may not matter. I just tried with a photo with a group of people and that DOESN'T work well if you try to force it to 900 x 300. Keeping the Scale Proportionally box ticked worked better. ?I got a better photo but not a real banner photo. It is workable though.?
