Leslie,

See?/g/GroupManagersForum/message/19274

If you are unwilling to pay the $110 for a transfer -- and you have a lot of spare time on your hands -- there are other options to download and save content from Yahoo Groups. Shal has previously mentioned three options in the following post:??/g/GroupManagersForum/message/19204?. I have used PG Offline successfully in the past, and Robert has given detailed instructions on how to use the Chrome browser add-on in?/g/GroupManagersForum/message/19222?.

The problem is what to do with the message archive once downloaded; as there is really no good way to re-upload it to groups.io, to re-link individual messages to their owners, or to provide online message search capability. Perhaps the best option is simply to print the collection of old messages to a PDF file; at which point you can upload that to the files area of your group. That will give you something, even if it isn't conveniently indexed and searchable.?

Are Post replies visible to all members of the team?

Assuming your group is set to "Reply to Group" (Settings>Message Policies>Reply To) and subscribers use the normal reply function on their email clients, yes.

And I will be able to find the Post with the hashtag right?

Clicking on a hashtag will bring up a list of all posts containing that hashtag (i.e.: as if you had typed it into the search engine).

Bruce

Hello,?
I've added all the members from the Yahoo group manually as we're a small group, but I don't know how to move the files from Yahoo.? Could someone please point me in the right direction.? A paid transfer isn't feasible.
Thank you
L

THANK YOU Bruce, for doing all this work explaining stuff!!!!? Gesine

Problem is, I'm located in India, and we have members worldwide, not just in the US. I tried with my Global Card, but it was declined. I've had success paying using my card via paypal to companies in the US, so I'm wondering if its possible to pay through that? Do I not have any other options to pay? I feel stuck over here.?

Kirei -- I bet you do!

Unfortunately, we are a peer-to-peer support group only...and do not have any fingers in the groups.io financial pie. Your only option is to contact [email protected]. I'm sure he will soon respond with an alternative.

Good luck,
Bruce

Hi Natalie

What did you do to ensure that you didn't continue to have people posting on the Yahoo! side?? Did you delete the group?? I want to make sure that once we're set up here, I don't have people continuing to post there.

Natalie -- Assuming you have already sent the group a notice of intent to transfer, you only need follow up with those who didn't get the message. The easiest way is to put the entire group on moderation. See?/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Transfer-from-Yahoo-Groups#Y21group-after-the-transfer?for details.

Hi all -

I am writing for advice from people that have already made the transition from Yahoo! Groups.? I have a group of about 3K members that is 17 years old, and I want to make sure we keep our archives intact.??

What did you do to ensure that you didn't continue to have people posting on the Yahoo! side?? Did you delete the group?? I want to make sure that once we're set up here, I don't have people continuing to post there.??

Thanks in advance for your experiences and guidance,
Natalie

Some may wonder if the transfer to groups.io process is working. I sent the invitation from one of my groups yesterday and the invitation was accepted this afternoon. I upgraded the new member ([email protected]) to moderator status and initiated the transfer process using the button on the groups.io transfer webpage.

The webpage quickly (automated, no doubt) showed, "We are in process of transferring your group. Depending on Yahoo and demand, this may take several days. You will be notified by email when the transfer is completed."

So, if you are embarking on this transfer process, my experience is that it takes about a day to get going but it does get there. I'll report what happens.

Can I add a list of hastags all at once?

Not really. But some groups allow hashtags to be "created" simply by placing one in the subject line of a message. This depends on your group Settings.

Is there an option to have a Like button for forum messages?

There already is one, and it cannot be disabled.

Can a group owner modify the display name of a member? (E..g to include Apt. Number)

Yes.?

Is there a display Preview option for content at external liinks?

You mean like Facebook? No.

Are animations like Gyphy permitted?

It is not prohibited site-wide, but many groups don't like it very much, because such things proliferate in the Emailed Photos folder, which may eventually cause the group to exceed its storage allotment.

Hope this helps,
Bruce

If I didn't have 10,000+ members, I would not be as concerned.

Susan -- 10,000 members is problematical, as has already been stated. This is because you cannot readily download them all using the Y!G web interface. You should, however, be able to access them using one of the tools that Shal has previously mentioned here.

I have heard $10 and $110.

Well, kinda.

It costs $110 for Premium Yearly. This is necessary if you want the groups.io transfer agent to move your Yahoo group for you, which includes most group content (except for calendar entries and message attachments).

If all you're interested in doing is moving your subscribers, and you can get a complete list of them, then $10 is the cost for Premium Monthly. This allows you to Direct Add (shanghai) all those members into your group, without using the invitation system. This is a significant convenience factor.

If your group is small (<1GB of storage), and you want to do it all on the cheap, and you have a lot of time on your hands, and you can get a complete list of members somehow, and are willing to transfer all your other content manually -- then you can create a group under the Basic plan, invite the members using the list you downloaded, and upload all the content manually. See also?/g/GroupManagersForum/message/19293?for more information on how to do the uploads.

I feel like maybe Bruce or someone should send a repeat message out to go over stuff for new people just joining in.

Okay, I've done that. But to be a little blunt, I've sent 70 (yes, 70) messages over the past three days, covering virtually every aspect of this process. It strikes me as reasonable that folks coming in late spend just a little time?using the message archive search engine or scanning the GMF wiki. Most of the information is already there, if people would just take a minute to look for it.

Hope this helps,
Bruce?
