Hi Steph (and Rich),?
When you check your transfer status, are you clicking in the drop-down box on and selecting your yahoo group name?? When that page first loads, it doesn't actually tell you anything until you select which group you're trying to transfer.

Yeah!! We are actually going to the website now! We have to do that to move attachments, delete what we don't want moved etc.?

Question about Deleting and Adding again a site

#20346

I have a question from a friend.? This is her first time with groups.io.? She just added a group and clicked on making it Private and not in the Directory.? Now her members can't find it by doing a search.? Does she have to Delete the group and then recreate it again choosing the correct settings?? I'm assuming the settings would be to allow it to be in the Directory.? I know that there was a message that said once you set it to private you can't change it.

Would she be able to use the same group name after deleting it?? Or would groups say that name is used.

Sincerely,

Rli@...

In order to get that information, do they just reply to the pending subscription message they get?

Re: What about new members we are adding to our Yahoo Group right now?

#20342

I put notices on the description pages at Yahoo that we are moving and added links to the? new groups.

I will not be approving anyone at Yahoo. When they appply, I can send them an email to explain, then add directly? to the new group on Groups.io

Re: What about new members we are adding to our Yahoo Group right now?

#20341

If you have a membership request at Yahoo, you would approve, add them at Groups.io and use the message box to explain why tgey are there instead of Yahoo.

If you are keeping the YG also you can approve them later after the transfer.

Re: reading exported group data

#20340

Hi

From our FAQ -?/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/FAQ-on-Moving-from-YahooGroups

Moving message archive, photos, etc.

?

? There are a few third-party solutions to that, including PG OFFLINE, a chrome browser app, and ModTools.?

?

? The problem is what to do with the message archive once downloaded; as there is really no good way to re-upload it to groups.io, to re-link individual messages to their owners, or to provide online message search capability.

?

? An option is simply to print the collection of old messages to a PDF file; at which point you can upload that to the files area of your group. That will give you something, even if it isn't conveniently indexed and searchable.
Currently ?(Oct 2019), the only way to have the correct ownership for files is to have the owner upload it.

That's short for Go Ahead and "Start Group Transfer Process".? What's in the quotes is what you actually see on the green button at the bottom.

Button to Go Ahead With Transfer? #transfer

#20338

Hi!
Should I be seeing a GO button on the edit page for the transfer process?
This page??/edittransfer

I have 2 groups in the transfer queue. Invitations have been excepted to both groups. The Groups.io member has been promoted to moderator in both groups.

The next step is to go to the process page and give the go ahead. I click on my existing transfer groups and it takes me to the edit page. But it does not show a button or link to GO ahead with the transfer.

The status box at the top of the page still says they received the invite and will accept it soon. So my edit page has not been updated. It is not showingbthe progress that has been made.

Will Groups.io put a green GO ahead with the transfer button on my edit page? If, so, how long should I wait for that to appear.?

Someone please help me with this. I do not see a way to give the GO AHEAD.

Janis

The only way I'm aware of is to upgrade to Enterprise.? That's supposed to allow you to do almost whatever you want, including the home page, /static/pricing

Re: Moving subgroups and cost?

#20334

If you have migrated, you can then fill out another request and just select the items you need to move.? The $200 additional is ONLY for those that want to jump to the top of the line.

Is it against groups.io guidelines to charge a membership fee to the members of a group I am planning on transferring to this platform?

Not at all.? I have a 'club' group where we do that very thing.? All membership dues and updates are done elsewhere, but then they can join the group here.

When I transferred my groups 17 months ago, I went through the memberlist before the transfer and changed everybody’s setting who was on “no mail”.

I do not allow “no mail” in my groups and am so happy that I can set this “in stone” with io groups. ?“Special notice” is allowed and ever so helpful if I need to post a message, which reaches everybody and is not often used. ?The first message in months was to my members about the forthcoming changes with yahoo groups and encourage them to download things they might wish to keep from the yahoo groups they belong to.

You might want to consider sending invites to all those members who were on no-email.? They likely had been using the web interface to interact with your group, but are no longer (because Y!G is so broken).? There might be many who would want to use the new group, but since they are on no email, they won't know about it.

Setting up a free account (not a transfer)

#20330

Hi Shal.? I am trying to get help for creating a Basic (free) group and invite members.? I do NOT want to transfer my Yahoo Group as I have deleted all the photos, I have copies of all the Files, and since my Yahoo Group isn't that active with the lessons I teach, etc., a lot of posted messages are no relevant.??

I've read a lot of posts here, and instructions, etc., and not sure I can do this without help.? ?

So, can I get instructions on creating my group manually for the Basic group, including how to give my group the name they are used to, etc., please?

I know you are busy, very busy, but time is running out on Yahoo.

Thank you for your time.

Jan Smith

Mark has said that the downloading of your group is relatively fast.? It's getting the information onto Groups.io that takes awhile.? My guess would be that he can download several groups at once, but has to be careful not to overload the system when adding the information here.
