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? ? -- FAQ on Moving from Yahoo Groups GMF Wiki: (unofficial) Help for members (and would-be members) and group managers |

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. Larry |

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: Searching member list
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýMark,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. Shal -- Help: /static/help More Help: /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki Even More Help: Search button at the top of Messages list |

?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.

Re: Detailed Instructions on How to Conduct a Yahoo Transfer
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?
