Re: What to Expect
Denise,
However, I thought my $200 would include text & data transfer, ratherThere was a series of steps to follow, it sounds like you missed one somewhere. A "blank outline" sounds like Step 1 - you had to create a Groups.io group to transfer into. As Duane said, your only recourse now is to contact [email protected] - GMF is a user-to-user forum, there are no Groups.io employees here. In the best case Groups.io may have managed to copy your Yahoo Group before Yahoo removed all member content, and there's merely some confusion about where they put it. In the worst case they did not snag a copy. In which case a refund is all they can do for you. I don't want to invite my members to join here untilFrom this point it is up to you to populate the content of your Groups.io group. There is still time for you to request a download from Yahoo: You can upload whatever you get to your Groups.io group. See the information here: /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Moving-to-Groups.io Best of luck.

Re: re deleting attachments
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýThanks so much Shal, that is working brilliantly. I'm amazed that I hadn't tried it as I do that (right click > open in new tab) all the time. Much appreciated. One other thing... what does the green bit at the end of the blue bar which lists the used storage signify? I can't remember noticing it before. ? Cheers Win ? ? -----Original Message----- ? Win, ? > Is there any way to get back automatically to the attachment list,? > without having to go through the process of Admin > Upgrade > etc ? What I normally do with any page that has a lot of links to follow (and a list certainly qualifies) is open the list item by using Ctrl+Shift+LeftClick instead of plain LeftClick. In most browsers this opens the link in a new tab, and switches you to that tab. In Firefox this can also be done with RightClick over the link then select "Open Link in New Tab". ? Do what you need to do in the new tab, then close the tab. In Firefox this automatically drops me back into the tab I came from - the list page. ?

Re: How To? Typo in group email address
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýDeb,I followed the steps outlined to correct the typo in the email address. ?It did not work as I expected. ?I ended up with two groups. The original group and a second with the same name, but different membership. I was not an owner on the second group, or even a member. I'm having a hard time visualizing what you mean. Casually speaking a group's name is its email address (and its web address), which you set on the group's Settings page: There can't be two groups with the same Email Address (name). Two groups can have the same Title, so maybe that's what you mean? The other thing I'm having trouble with is where you're seeing both groups. If you're not even a member of that second group, where are you seeing it? If you're seeing it in the "Find or Create a Group" list don't worry about it - it likely belongs to someone else. Instead, use the Your Groups drop-list to the left of the Find link. Your Groups will only show you groups of which you are at least a member. I started to delete the original group to begin fresh but I got a warning that the name would be unavailable for a while. No explanation of how long ¡°a while¡± might be. Any thoughts on what I might be doing incorrectly, or how long the name would be unavailable to start fresh? ? I would not delete the group just to begin fresh. The email address of a deleted group is reserved indefinitely. As a practical matter you have to ask support to release it for you. In most cases it is much simpler to correct the Settings page.

Re: re deleting attachments
Win,
Is there any way to get back automatically to the attachment list,What I normally do with any page that has a lot of links to follow (and a list certainly qualifies) is open the list item by using Ctrl+Shift+LeftClick instead of plain LeftClick. In most browsers this opens the link in a new tab, and switches you to that tab. In Firefox this can also be done with RightClick over the link then select "Open Link in New Tab". Do what you need to do in the new tab, then close the tab. In Firefox this automatically drops me back into the tab I came from - the list page.

Re: Transferring A Group
Neil,
?
?
I'll agree about the Files and Photos being very spotty, but the zipped collection of mbox files contains all the messages in the group, not just what you posted. At least that's been true of all the groups I've looked at.
?
For Files, Photos_and_attachments, Links and (rarely) Database, my results are all over the place. I don't think I got all the photos in any group, but I did get all Files in some, all Links in some, and what may be all Databases in just one. No Membership list or Calendar entries.
?
Cindy: moral of the story: you're better off doing the request than not doing it, as it is the only remaining way of downloading any content. If you can get some of your more prolific group members to do likewise you might be able to fill in each other's gaps.Deadline for making the request: Jan 31st 11:59 pm Pacific (2020-02-01 07:59 UTC).
To get the membership list use one of the methods in the wiki page Frances cited. Shal

Frances, thank you for your quick response.? This breaks my heart as my group has 16 years of pics and messages at Yahoo.?

You can request a download from Yahoo. They have extended the deadline for getting the download. Any suggestions, folks, for photos? Frances ? -- Moving to Groups.io (without easy transfer)
