LOL. To answer my own question: RTFM:

Step 3. Send an invite from your Yahoo Group to [email protected]
I missed the bit that said send the invite from my YAHOO Group.

I was trying to invite to my io group.

Duh.



Hi...I'm glad to be a part of this group. I am owner of a few groups and I have them set where new members have to be approved but NOT where messages have to be approved. But, I'm still having to approve messages, and it's a big pain. Can someone help?

I created a hashtag (#playlist), and posted a topic with that hashtag in the subject. ?But doing a hashtag search does not find the topic. ?If I go into the hashtags configuration page I can see that there is 1 topic with that hashtag. ?So why doesn’t a search work?

If I add one of the default hashtags (#cal-cancelled) to a message, a search will find the cancelled calendar event, but not the message.

I created and maintained 7 databases for our previous group on Yahoo. What a relief to find Groups.io particularly that they host databases and allow CSV file imports. However, while the process appears simple the process does not appear to work for me. I created Columns that exactly match the previous database and then tried to import - no result. Some of the new Groups.io database column characteristics may not match the old database format (i.e. single line vs. paragraph).
Can anyone really familiar with the a successful process offer any advice? Thanks!

Received this when I tried to send the transfer email invite. Is this the correct address or has it changed?

The following email addresses had errors:

?

• [email protected]: Invalid email address

Looks like no one answered you.?
I am quite sure it is automatic. Builds as you send and get messages to your group. And based on the travel group I am with, it includes the number of messages for your Yahoo Group if you use the transfer. We have back to March 1999!

FAQ on Moving from YahooGroups
GMF Wiki: (unofficial) Help for members (and would-be members) and group managers

Wilson, main programmer and owner of PGO, made an encouraging comment this morning,

"I am working on adding functionality to PGO to allow you to post all the YG content into groups.io.

?Once its ready, I would suggest creating a sub-group called "YG archive" or something.

?Then you will be able to tell PGO to effectively email all the old posts to the sub group."

He didn't give any indication of when it might be ready or any other details, but he does understand the urgency.? I think this would be a great addition for those that can't quite afford to pay for a transfer (PGO is $25.)? It may not be quite as slick, but will save the archives and should give access to them online.

If you go to?
? ?groups.io/yahootransfer
and scroll to the bottom, in the lower right, there will be a pull-down menu of your groups in process.
If you click on your group, you will be shown a page that is titled something like "Easy Group Transfer Status"

In the second section it will say something like "Your group in the queue for transfer.? There are NN groups ahead of you."
It is my experience that they are doing about 50 or 60 groups a day.? That should give you a basis to estimate when your
group will be transferred.

Yes, that's the proper thing to do.? You can always check on the status now and then to see what's happening.? I'm sure it's difficult for those that caught in this mess to be patient, but that's the best thing to do.

Hi all, I just started setting up to do a transfer from Yahoo to Groups IO I paid for the year subscription but the "set up new transfer" button did not show up. Where do I find this in the menu or how do I get to it if I have logged off. TIA

Should be. I haven't heard of any problems and Mark is a smart guy.

I joined on 21st, the group was approved, sent the invite the same day and received my transfer letter on the 22nd.

Edward -- What is this "transfer letter?" Could you tell us what it says?

What step are you at in the process? Have you checked your status as described in?/g/GroupManagersForum/message/19948? Can you send us a screenshot of that page?

I understand your distress, but you really need to calm down and put more effort into telling us what you've done. Until that happens, it will be very difficult to help you.

Regards,
Bruce

So after I had clicked on the "Give Go Ahead to Transfer" button, we just wait, I assume?

Lukas

Is it OK to start transfers to different subgroups at the same time? I didn't see that thing about one group at a time until last night, after I had already started the process. :-(

Thanks,
Su

Thanks, all! Especially those who have also seen this, for the reassurance.

Yes, Bruce, the emails are from Yahoo which does know when the [email protected] account accepts the invite to join the Y groups.

OK, I will wait to see the email from Groups.io.

Thanks,
Su

Unfortunately I already did especially after support told me that they couldn't help me!
That they were overwhelmed and to seek help here; which doesn't seem that anyone here will be able to help me either.
This is really messed up and I don't know what to do.

One more question - if I don't act on the green button ASAP, as in a few days, that won't affect anything, will it?

It will allow others to get ahead of you in the transfer queue, but that's all. :-)

Since she mentioned Chrome my guess is she may be using gmail. I created my groups here after signing up with a gmail email.? I made my old Yahoo owner email an owner here also because of issues with gmail.? They are putting my group messages in every possible category except promotions.? Several are being marked as Spam but are not Spam.?

Have there been issues with using? gmail for group messages in the past?
I changed to full featured digest hoping that wouls solve the problem. If it does not I may have to use the plaintext option and hopefully get all the messages that way free of notices.? Meanwhile, I am getting individual emails in my old Yahoo email account.

not visible in directory, potential unwanted members cannot find your group

Maybe.? If someone happens to know the name of the group, or can guess it, they can still get to the Home page.? A remote possibility, but could happen.
