does anyone know if the files and photos are gone on the Yahoo side.? I have signed up for a migration just wandered if I just spent $110 for nothing.

I also disabled nomail on my new list but see the nomails were switched to special.

If people prefer to read their messages online, I believe it it best to respect that; forcing them to receive unwanted emails will only chase them away.

However, it's nice to be able to contact everyone if unusual circumstances (like this one) arise. The "Special Notices" option provides that functionality, and is the default if a "no email" person is transferred into a groups.io group that does not permit the "no email" message delivery option.

You mention Direct add members under a $10 monthly payment?? I cannot see any details of that facility or how to use it. Can you advise.

Sure.

Direct Add is achieved almost exactly like sending an Invitation. The screens even look almost identical. The only real difference is that the subscription proposal does not have to be accepted on the receiving end. The people being added are shanghaied directly into the group, do not have to confirm their accounts, and will begin to receive group emails immediately.

This can be very handy if you have a lot of people who are afraid to click on links in emails or otherwise struggle with the normal invitation process. Paying for Premium every year and using Direct Add instead of Invite has saved my primary group a lot of hand-holding.

All that said -- in the context of migrating from Yahoo Groups on the cheap -- there is nothing to prohibit you from keeping that ten bucks in your pocket and simply using the Invite process instead.

?

?

Definitely disappointing. I'll stop recommending groups.io to people, then, and definitely look for alternatives for my groups in the future.?

Do emails count against this 10 GB limit??Or is it just files and photos?

The items that count against your storage limit are listed near the bottom of the Pricing page (/static/pricing).

Is there no option for a yearly commitment at monthly payments?

Choosing recurring monthly payments is an option for normal Premium access, but is not an option if you expect the transfer agent to move your content for you.

---- Can you start the group without having the Yahoo content pulled over? (we still need to put our request into you)

You actually must create the group before you can transfer into it, so you pretty much have to.

As for using the new group ahead of the transfer, that's up to you. I tried to keep most of the traffic back in Yahoo prior to moving my groups, but that was before they started crashing and burning; and no one has reported any serious downside to doing otherwise.?

---- Will there be an interruption with the group usage while the content is being migrated over?

Not that I have noticed. You may get some interleaving of message numbers, but that's about it.

When the transfer happens, you will get a summary report. It will contain a list of things that aren't transferred. One of the things that don't get transferred are email addresses that have already joined the destination group. I believe content "ownership" still gets assigned correctly, though.

---- Is the timing of our GROUP starting dependent on the migration?

My guess is no, but I'm frankly not entirely sure what you mean here.

I do suggest you put the Yahoo group on moderation as soon as you notice that the transfer has actually started. This allows you to intervene and let people know to start posting at the other location, so that you don't leave too many messages or other things orphaned back in the Yahoo group.

Hope this helps,

Hi...

I bought the service for $110 a year.? It says I have a 10 GB limit.?

Do emails count against this 10 GB limit?? Or is it just files and photos?

Thank you,

where is this setting?

Susan -- In groups.io, it is in the Message Policies block of Settings. I have "no email" disabled for all my groups.

Many members are on nomail so when the messages are no longer accessible on the home page, well I guess they will find out the hard way so I just answered my question.?

Yeah, pretty much.

You can try to notify them by collecting all the "no email" people and contacting them directly (i.e.: outside of Y!G). In practice, I think you'll find that most of those accounts are deadwood and emails will begin to bounce as soon as you start sending them anything.

Is there no option for a yearly commitment at monthly payments? That is a /lot/ of money and a lot of us trying to keep our groups alive can't come up with it in a lump sum.?

We are going to start using your premium service - moving from yahoo ASAP. Quick question (LOVE YOUR PRODUCT!):

---- Is the timing of our GROUP starting dependent on the migration?

Trying to ask it 10 different ways so that I am clear on how to communicate with our community :)

How can you upgrade for a month? Is there a pro-rata payment, or do we
have to pay for a year regardless?

If you go to Admin>Upgrade and click the "View/Change Plan" button, there are options for Premium Yearly or Premium Monthly.

You might find a month of Premium handy if you want to Direct Add subscribers to your group without going through the invitation process. It is also a lot cheaper ($10 vs $110).

However, if you want groups.io to attempt to move your message archive, files and photos and so on (in addition to your subscribers), you have to pay the $110. This payment also allows you to re-try the transfer later if some content doesn't make it over, due to ongoing Yahoo server issues.

The money has to be paid up-front and there are no refunds.

Hope this helps,
Bruce

Short of subscribing myself with my work email and then going no mail with my personal one, is there any way to have two emails associated with one account where you can choose which one to use for any one list?

No. Nor can you be logged in under more than one email address using the same device/browser.

However, you can subscribe both addresses to the same group and set one of them to No Email. That might be your best option.

Hope this helps,
