Not that I'm aware of. I know there was at least one group that transferred over 10,000 members a few years ago.

To clarify, that's after one year of premium service.? You can actually change it any time, but it won't take effect until your current term expires.? Many folks did (and still do) upgrade to premium for a month now and then for specific tasks.

Is there a limit or maximum number of members in a yahoogroup that the automated transfer process allows?? I saw an old post mentioning a limit of 1000 members but that's not in your wiki and not in your transfer instructions.

Larry -- It is a requirement that, before you do a transfer, you pay for one year of Premium ($110). After that, you may downgrade.

If you don't want your files/photos/messages transferred, or are willing to do it manually yourself, you can still initiate a new group on the Basic plan and not pay anything.

It has been a while since I checked how to move Yahoo Groups but I thought with such small groups and limited storage the groups.io service was free.

The transfer process is not fully automated and takes some manpower. At one point it was free, but the volume of transfers eventually reached the point that groups.io management could no longer continue doing that much work without any compensation.

The price of procrastination, I guess.

Hope this helps,
Bruce

I doubt that it has anything to do with the length.

If your group has public archives, the domain information is automatically stripped from the online message archive. This is to keep spammers and bots from mining your public messages for valid email addresses.

The exception is any post with the groups.io domain, in which case it is retained.

If absolutely necessary, try posting it like this:? myemail(at)domain(dot)net [or something to that effect]. I've found that most human beings are sharp enough to figure out what that really means, while (hopefully) the bots might struggle with it a little bit.

I have just joined this forum. I own two long-standing Restricted Yahoo Groups with about 100 members each and well under 1 GB of pictures and files.

With the recent changes in Yahoo Groups I want to move these groups to groups.io, including the membership, pictures and files now on the Yahoo Group. When I just read the instructions to do this, I note groups.io now "ask that you sign up for the Premium Yearly plan."

It that Premium Plan a request or a requirement for such small groups?

It has been a while since I checked how to move Yahoo Groups but I thought with such small groups and limited storage the groups.io service was free.

This is not my real email address above - just want to see if it get truncated going to you, too.? ?It is used in full in other places.

Hi again,

I'm looking at the messages in our Yahoo groups that we'll need to either transfer over here or else lose the archives. Many of them don't need to be saved. If I download them in Mbox format, my understanding is that I can open them with Thunderbird (my usual email client) and delete out the cruft and then re-export.

Can I then upload the resulting Mbox file into my group here at Groups.io rather than do a complete transfer? Or is that something that only [email protected] can do? And is there a fee for that?

Thanks,
Su

Sorry, that battle continues here in both versions:

Groups.io has two mitigations for bottom quotes: they are stripped from

But alas not (I gather) from individual email messages.

Thank you for the data. I'm reading more on group.io

Hi...I'm a new member, but long-time owner/moderator.? On io, I own the MMarioKKnits group. MMario (Leo Pola, knitting designer) passed away late last year, shocking us all. Now, I'm concerned that this will be the only place that many of his designs - some as yet unknit-will be available.

I'd like to backup our Files section to an external drive, but the only way I can see to do that is one file at a time. This would be a Herculean task; MMario was very prolific. Is there a way about which I don't know, that I may backup all our files at once?

I should add, I have continued ownership of the group that I established with him with his family's full approval.

TIA,
Diana Cooper

When I first set up my group on Groups.io in late August, I was terribly busy discerning exactly how Groups.io worked.

I just found a document with this content noting with the notation:

Hi Duane,

At the end of last week we started the migration of our Yahoo Groups list.? It has about 1,000 members.? As of this writing, our main group is at 553.? I plan on shutting down the old YG list this Sunday.? It'll be a?soft shutdown:? I'll put everything under full moderation.? Anyone who posts for the next week will be told to join us here on groups.io? ;)?

My ISP ended confusion by not saying "evening" and instead using "early morning" on all {post-midnight} their maintenance warnings.

Hi

You might check out this page in the GMF wiki for an overview of setting up and preferences for your group -?/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Quick-Start-for-Group-Formation

In his original notice () Mark said it would be Thursday 10/17 (i.e.: early tomorrow morning in the US).

Groups.io is a global service and depending on your time zone this could be Wednesday evening, etc.

Not sure why he has Friday in the banner.
