Someone on that end has to not only invite it to the group, but also make it a Moderator, so the data can be read. All of this is clearly stated in Steps 3-5 of the instructions. If you can't find someone to perform these steps for you, you need to contact [email protected],?ask for a refund, and proceed to transfer your group manually as best you can.

Re: HOW do I this part of the Yahoo group transfer: Make sure you have sent an invite to your group for the user [email protected].
You need to be an owner of the Yahoo Group or be a moderator with permissions.
"You must not only be able to invite the transfer agent, but also subsequently promote it to a Moderator itself once the invitation is accepted. If -- for whatever reason -- you are unable to perform BOTH functions, you won't be able to complete the Easy Group Transfer process.?
?
Very few Yahoo Group Moderators are given the "Add, remove, and change moderator privileges" permission. This is necessary to promote the agent to Moderator. "

How do I get past this step in the group transfer? Yes, I paid for the premium. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I am moderator of a dying Yahoo group. I would like to poll my Yahoo members and see if they want to continue the group and fund the transfer effort.Can you invite other members? Can you promote others to Moderator? If you're only a Moderator yourself, you probably can't use the Easy Group Transfer method anyway. I know this will take additional time and so I wanted to ask:No. ...or do you need to make a direct connection as outlined in the FAQ?You probably can't do that, either.? If you don't have the "Add, remove, and change moderator privileges" permission in the Yahoo group, you need to find someone who does. Otherwise, you should plan to upload all of the content to the new group manually, using the info found in Item #10 of the FAQ. Bruce |

Re: How to complete an invite?

- Clicking on Admin/Invite produces a completable form for an invite . ?But, I can't figure how to enter the desired name instead of (Name) nor the email address instead of (Invitee email address) ??Gene -- These are metadata -- placeholders for the information that will be inserted when the invitation is actually sent. Keeping in mind that you can send multiple invitations at once, groups.io will parse each of your entries in the Email Addresses box and populate those fields for you. For example, if you put "Bruce Bowman <myemail @ domain.net>" in the Email Addresses box, [Name] will be replaced with my name and Invitee email address] will be replaced with myemail @ domain.net. - Will entered text in the Customized Message add it to the form letter or replace it?It will be inserted immediately below the line where it says "The following message was included by [you]." There is no way to replace the boilerplate text already present. Bruce |
