Rhoda,
The easiest is to ask the Owner to promote you to a Co-owner.

OK,
Tony

If the total space for files and photos of both groups is less than 10G, you can put them all in one place.? Transfer the main group as usual.? When it's complete, transfer the the second group into the first GIO group as well.? A subgroup would work, but there are things to consider before creating one - /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Why-use-a-Subgroup

Rich -- According to , he is letting transfers stack up differently now; they will begin to collect in the queue at the stage you're currently at, rather than at the "accept the transfer agent's invitation" stage. Those details are in the next-to-last paragraph of the message.

Be advised that in the past the transfer queue has sometimes been as deep as two weeks or more.

When should I start worrying?

Seems to me that you already have.? :-)? ?But all glib remarks aside -- and if it eases your mind at all -- I don't see anything in your screenshot to suggest that anything is amiss. If you want priority on your transfer you can always pony up the extra $200 (ouch...did I really say that?).

Simple answer... no. Unless by "set up" you mean invite the transfer agent to membership & make it a moderator.

This is actually not a simple question.

In addition to being a Moderator/Owner, you also must be able to:

1) send an invitation for someone to join the Yahoo group, and also
2) promote other group members to Moderator.?

If the group Owner has not given you the permissions necessary to perform these tasks, you'll be unable to conduct the transfer by proxy.?

Hope this helps,
Bruce

How can I sort the results of a search of a certain interest? I'd like to sort with newest first.

Debbie -- As you have discovered, you cannot search the groups list for keywords and use the tabs at left to further filter the resulting hits. The two functions are mutually exclusive.

This would be a good suggestion for improvement. The official "suggestion box" for groups.io is the beta group (). I wouldn't expect it to happen anytime soon, though.

I did click go ahead probably 3 times over the last few days. The transfer page shows that the group is not been even accepted but initially when you do it, it shows up but not now when you revisit the page.

?

The only thing is the Groupsio transfer member was install about 9 months ago into our group and has the moderator rights.

Chris -- I think it's unrealistic to expect the transfer queue to hold your invitation for that long of a time period. Depending on what the status of the transfer currently is, you may have to delete that subscription to your Yahoo group and send a new invitation.

What else can I do as I feel our model railway club has been suckered in!

In this message (/g/GroupManagersForum/message/19896) I gave you instructions on how to check your status and asked you to report back on what it says. Cutting and and pasting the words into a message will work, a screenshot would be even better.

Until you follow up on that recommendation, I will remain unable to help you.

"You" being who exactly? And what bit of the information you describe do you not see?

On the group in question if you look at Topics view (web UI obviously) at the top of the tabs on the left hand side there is a Home tab. To its immediate right (within the tab) there should be a white on blue "label" that tells you if you are an owner or a moderator.

What is there on your group? If it says Owner then you have billing permission by default; if it says Mod then you are indeed a moderator but may not have billing permissions; several permissions are individually settable per moderator.

That's unfortunate, for sure.

I can't delete the merged group and re-request a new set of transfers because it says the name won't be available for "a while". Do I ask GIO to delete all the data in that group and initiate those two transfers again?

You could always ask, but it might be quicker to delete the content yourself. Unfortunately, there is no function that deletes all content and leaves the group in place.

Or if you have deep pockets, open a third group on Premium Yearly and save this one for some other purpose.

Do I see if they still have to separate files that can be uploaded to each respective group?

Again, you can ask, but under the circumstances I doubt you will get a response.?

Do I put in a new request for the one to go to the correct new group (which is still empty)?

If that group is already set up and on the Premium Yearly plan, then yes...I would go ahead and get that started, and clean up the mess in the other one later.

Hope this helps,
Bruce

I initiated 4 group transfers last night after I saw that the price would be changing today (it would be so helpful if there was a non-profit rate beyond the enterprise account, which I still don’t understand the difference).? I did not get a message that the invite was received nor did I receive receipts for the 4 charges.? I have done this before so I am fairly certain I did this correctly. That said, if the easy group transfer page shows that I do have 4 groups pending, how can I confirm the invites were received from yahoogroups since there is never anything at yahoogroups stating that the invitations were sent/received?

You have to be a group Owner, or a Moderator with the "Billing" privilege.

?I was supposed to be a co-owner/co-administrator but don't see the informatoin you describe and I can't figure out how to do the upgrade by 9AM pacific.

If you have the above privileges it will show on the left-side menu bar as Admin>Upgrade. Then click the "View/Change Plan" button on the resulting page.

I read here tonight in a message from Duane that I can pay for the upgrade to premium for a basic group and initiate the request for transfer at another time. Is there a deadline for requesting the transfer?

Susan --?Yes, it's Dec 1.

I will pay the premium before we hit today’s deadline for the higher price if someone can respond in time.

There is a big red box at the very top of the transfer page (/yahootransfer) explaining this.

Linda J and other,

I think one of the problems people may be having is with the terms. In step
2, you start the transfer process. This tells groups.io that you are wanting
to do a transfer. Then you do the invite from Yahoo Groups. Then they join
the group on Yahoo. You promote them to moderator. The next step is 'Begin'
the transfer itself.

It is the terms, it sounds like the concept of start or begin are used twice
in the sequence. The first time you are 'starting the transfer process' but
the second time, step 6, you 'starting the transfer'. Subtle difference, but
I think many users are hanging up on the steps.

I have two groups on YG (many more, but two involved here). During the transfer request, apparently the destination was not changed. I'm fine admitting it may have been my mistake.

I caught this on the first transfer (from the one group to the wrong new one) and immediately replied to GIO support that there was a problem and requested that they not transfer the second one (and asked if they can move the first to the correct group). Well that message never got read before they transferred the second one and merged it.

Long question short... where do I go from here?

I can't delete the merged group and re-request a new set of transfers because it says the name won't be available for "a while". Do I ask GIO to delete all the data in that group and initiate those two transfers again? Do I see if they still have to separate files that can be uploaded to each respective group?

Do I put in a new request for the one to go to the correct new group (which is still empty)?

Right now I don't want to do anything without guidance, but I also don't want to lose the data because I waited too long.

What do I do?
