Sally, so have all your messages arrived in Groups.io??

Good news. I notice that the Yahoogroups tracker dashboard had stopped backing up and now it is flying! This is the archive team that is harnessing the power of other people's computers to save all the valuable stuff on YG before it is deleted. So perhaps something happened at YG?

Re: Uploads Via PG Offline

 

J Foirster, Send an email to info@...?and ask to be notified when the upload software is available, or ask join the beta test for it.

In the meantime, download PG Offline from ?and get your Yahoo data while the getting is good. As long as you have that data, Yahoo's state doesn't matter.

I have one poster on my Yahoo group who posts meeting notices every few days. I re-run PG Offline for new messages, so I continue to grow my repository as I wait for the upload program to mature. I expect it to be ready soon. My group isn't very big, but it's a good test case for the uploader.

Re: Uploads Via PG Offline

 

Not yet. There is a program in beta testing stage that will upload
what you've downloaded using PG Offline.

It's getting close to being ready but not quite there yet. There's
more information (but not a lot more) in recent posts in the Group
Manager's Forum on Yahoo. When it's ready, I expect an announcement to
be made there.

You can get your group started then create a subgroup for the Yahoo
message archive. Or you can wait to start the new group officially,
upload your messages into the main group, then open the group to new
members once that is completed, if you need the Yahoo messages in the
same place. Otherwise, you'll have them all mixed together.

Not for messages.? You'd need to go to the PGO site for help with that.? For files/photos, just upload like any other file/photo.

Not easily.? You'd have to open the JSON file for the database to find the filename of each image, then go through the subdirectory to find it.? Someone could probably do a kludge program to handle it.? I think the idea of images in the database was sort of a quick fix, so there is room for improvement.

As a bad option, you could do screen prints of the sections of the database, but that would get old quickly.

Re: Export database with images

 

Duane......
Thanks for your effort.

The idea of the images is that each one is associated with a specific row in the database. ?Is that relationship re-createable in the process you describe? ?If not, then it's not much good to me.

One wonders why if the database offers the option of including images, that it then will not pick up those images to export with the database....in their respective locations. ?Was this maybe the original intent, and there's just a switch gone bad in the code or something?

Re: Searching member list

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Mark,

One think I miss though is the ability to search the members list. Or am I just missing something?

Possibly:

On the other hand if you're talking about the group Directory, then no. It is sorely lacking a search box.

To use the Transfer Agent, you must be
either an owner of the Yahoo group, or
a moderator with both the ¡°Invite and add members¡± and ¡°Add, remove, and change moderator privileges¡± privileges.
?
About what you should do - well, if you saw the posts today and yesterday, whether Mark can copy your group to Groups.io depends on whether Yahoo Groups is running properly.

You could try to rescue your posts and even more importantly your member list. And keep hoping that things will be sorted out on YG so that you will have everything transferred.

To get some ideas about possibilities, see #10 and #14.

Mark mentioned in one of his posts that if the invitation is marked as received for more than few hours, you should send another one.? BTW, you can't invite the transfer agent to your GIO group, you'll get an error.

Re: Detailed Instructions on How to Conduct a Yahoo Transfer

 
Edited

I realize there is now a holdup for transfers from Yahoogroups and I have been reading the GMF and other Group.io forums as diligently as possible. But I am concerned that I have a problem with transfers to two new group.io groups I have set up. I started the process more than a month ago for one group and at least 2 weeks ago for the other (3? maybe). I have gone to check my transfer status and at the top of the page for each of my groups, it says "We've received the invite to your group and will accept it soon. There is no need to send another invite." I have been waiting patiently for several weeks now, but none of the other 4 next steps are visible on my page. I have invited the Transfer Agent to both my old Yahoo and new Groups.io sites, but that address is not showing up in my member list for either. I reinvited the transfer agent yet again today. I am worried that I have missed something or need to do something else or...? And today is the Dec. 1 deadline. Do I need to start manually inviting my 450+ members (and conversations since 1998) or should I just keep being patient? I did pay the Premium yearly when I first started this process in late October/early November, so I am confident that is not the problem. Now, I am worried that I had better start manually moving everything, but that seems overwhelming, especially when i paid for 2 premium memberships already.?Any advice or reassurances?

Re: Upgraded to Premium and THEN saw the notice...

 

I'm in this same boat.? I've been transferring multiple groups over, so I have the process down.? After going through one on my own that had to wait until the YG service was up and runing again and assisting a co-moderator on another one, I upgraded my third one only to find that the YG service was now down again. My main concern is that I do not lose my data from YG.? I know that YG is giving until the 14th, but I hope I'm not going to be too late for Groups.IO. I know that Groups.IO has been working hard on helping all of us and I was amazed at how quickly both of my other groups transferred so I am holding out hope that it will still work.? I hope that those of us in limbo, having upgraded before 12-1, but now unable to move on to the next step, will still be able to make use of our upgraded groups if things are up and running again prior to the 14th.

I have updated the wiki so you can direct your owner to the instructions there. Membership in GMF is not necessary to see the wiki or the messages. (Actually they are open to anyone.)

Because it might be below something with which you fundamentally disagree. Whatever she says YOU have to accept full responsibility for it and any and all consequences that arise.

OK; I'll admit that something not greatly different occurs on the group I moderate and co - own; sometimes a message will be sent in the owner's "name" and it will have all three names at the bottom, but I would never sign a message pretending to be someone else, and I would strongly object if anyone used my name under a message that they had sent.

Furthermore if I was on the receiving end of a message sent by person A but appearing to be from person B I would not be happy if I discovered the deception, however innocent the underlying reason for it might be.

That except would suggest that this is not the problem. IMHO the best way for Neil to start digging is to set up another subscription for himself using a different email address, with that membership being as an ordinary member. That way he would be able to see what an ordinary member "ought" to see without having to get someone else to interpret what they are seeing and relay it to him. Neil; note that there are caveats to doing this so if in doubt about how to do this just ask...

Re: Export database with images

 

Duane,

Thanks.? I've been following this thread and it's good to know the images can be downloaded with the database and saved. :)
