So when we get transferred, I would look back in my member list and send invites to anyone new that joined since mid October.That would be one way.? Is there any way to transfer newer messages that aren't with the IO transfer?You could save them in your email client and forward them one by one...but frankly, there is really no GOOD way. If it were me, I'd encourage people to just go ahead, join the GIO group, and start posting there. The downsides of doing so (i.e.: losing their vanity "join date") do not strike me as very compelling. Bruce |

Expediate transfer
#transfer
I followed Bruce's step by step guide and started by paying $200 for Premium Service for a year. I've now had notification from the transfer agent that my invitation to my Yahoogroup has been accepted, the agent has been set as moderator and I have given the transfer the go-ahead. The only button still available on the transfer screen is "expediate transfer for $200". If I click that, it asks if I'm sure that I want to pay. But I have already paid and I have payment confirmation. Is by transfer being expediated or not now? Thanks. |

Re: What do I do: Yahoo! #transfer only brought ~4,500 of ~14,500 messages
#transfer
Paul -- The number found on your group home page (under "Group Information") is the number of topics, not messages.
Go to?/g/GROUPNAME/messages?(where GROUPNAME is the actual name of your group). The number at upper right will give you the total number of messages (viz: the attached screenshot). Please let us know if this number is more to your liking. Regards, Bruce |

BUT... that list only showed 5 members: The member I just approved, the first member that signed up with the group before the transfer which was in February, 2018, myself and two moderators. So I followed the following sequence: 'Your Groups>(my group)>Admin>Members and the list shows the 978 members I expected to see, but not the new member I just approved.?David -- I really doubt that this is a bug, or it would have been reported a long time ago. You can change which members are displayed by pulling down the blue menu at upper left and selecting one of the other options (Members, Bouncing, Pending, Banned, etc).? If you click on the link in a "needing approval" email it defaults to the Pending view. Hope this helps, Bruce |

Re: "Average Pace" of transfers
Thanks, Ray, for sharing your saga; it looks like you're on track to complete the transfer tomorrow or Monday, congratulations!
I agree you must've barely beat a deluge (and I didn't) on or about Oct. 20.? The price increase from $110 to $220 for premium, I think, happened on Oct. 22 and surely reflected the staggering workload.? I can't recall when the $200 "expedite" option became available. I'm a data buff, when things quiet down I hope the GIO staff publish a cool table or graph about the volume of transfers they midwifed in October-December 2019.? I assume that right now they don't have much time even to eat or shower. |

I haven't tried it, but that should do what you want.? You'd need to do the rest of the setup after creating it. Keep in mind that creating a subgroup changes the addressing of the main group, so members may be aware that one exists, but won't be able to find it unless they know the name.?

Help! Problem migrating Yahoo group to Groups.io
#transfer
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýHelp! My newly created group is LRPPro (/g/LRPPro). I recently upgraded to Premium to be able to migrate LRPPro from Yahoo () to Groups.io. I started the automated migration process, but
this stalled at the point where you have to send an invitation
to [email protected].
The process requires that this invitation be sent, you
wait to receive it, then proceed. However, my Yahoo group no
longer seems able to send invitations. I get the following error

Chat issues with Chrome Web Browser
Dear all,
We have been setting up a new group in order to transfer from Yahoo to Groups.io. We have been testing and learning all the features and we found very interesting the chat feature. We have tried to set up new chats and we succeded. However, when my colleague subscribed and we tried to chat, nothing appeared in chat. We tried several times and open several chats and nothing happened. Today I was trying again and suddenly I thought of testing it with another web browser. IE from Windows 10. It worked perfect. No problem at all. Could you explain what is the reason why does not work in Chrome? Has anybody else encountered this problem? We would very much appreciate any help that you can give us since the majority of our members use Chrome. Thank you very much Frank? |
