You can try the steps listed in this post by Shal:??/g/GroupManagersForum/message/19411

I don't know if it will work, but he's far and away more of an expert on Yahoo Groups than I ever will be. Certainly a browser refresh isn't going to hurt anything...not sure I'd be too happy if I had to go about deleting cookies.

Please report back on what you find out.

How do I transfer the messages and member list to Groups.IO ?
I'm not concerned with attachments inside the messages - I've heard they don't transfer and that doesn't matter.
Any help (e.g. a guide?) would be appreciated.

First, I recommend starting a group on GIO then, if you can't find
where to sign up for the premium group subscription ($110-prepaid,
needed for the first year to pay for the transfer), post back here
what you have been able to do. After creating the group, you invite a
"transfer agent" to your group and promote it to moderator status.

/static/pricing

You can use the above link to create your group AND get the premium
group subscription.

/static/transfer

This gives you instructions for either Yahoo or Google group
transfers.

/yahootransfer

This link is the one specific to Yahoo groups.

See how far you can get and if you get stuck someone here will help.

Thanks, Bruce.? The Existing Transfers page does not seem to know about an invite, and I have done it multiple times from Yahoo, always with the same response.

Should I just wait a while or are there other steps to take?

Thanks.

Alan -- That's a totally different error from what Graham was experiencing.

Usually, the invitation has gone out anyway. Hmmm...are you glad you're leaving them yet?

To be sure, go back to the groups.io transfer page at?/yahootransfer. Pull down the Existing Transfers menu at bottom right and select the group that you're trying to transfer (click it). A status bar should appear at the top of the resulting page. If it says something along the lines of "we have received your invitation and will accept it soon...", then everything is fine. If not, the invitation did not go out. Return to Yahoo and try again.

When the transfer agent accepts the invitation, groups.io will send you an email with further instructions.

Bruce

I'm having the same problem but I am doing the invite correctly from Yahoo.? It's responding:? "Sorry, an error occurred while loading the content." in red.? Any ideas?? Apparently the transfer can't proceed until this is solved.

Thanks!

I neglected to mention that I'm using MacOS version 10.14.6.

Aha, I believe that is what has happened, many thanks!

(Please disregard my previous reply)

Thanks,

You have to log into Yahoo and invite the transfer agent to your Yahoo group. It sounds like you are trying to invite it to your groups.io group.?

If you've never done this before, instructions can be found at?

Bruce

Having paid up and requested a transfer, Yahoo is refusing to send an invite saying "[email protected] : Invalid email address"

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Graham.

I just wanted to add to Joseph's reply.

You only need one GIO account and the account is not basic or premium,
it's just an account and it's free. The premium group subscriptions
are separate and are not the same as your GIO account that you can use
to join or create other groups with.

If you plan to use subgroups, be aware that for people to belong to a
subgroup, they will need to be members and join the main group. I
believe that (and someone here can correct me if I'm wrong) they will
see all the messages in the main group and only the messages in the
subgroup(s) they join. If that's a problem, then you will want to open
3 groups. Whether you need to get a year's premium group subscription
for the other groups if you do that is up to you (how important is it
to transfer everything over?). If it's OK for everyone to see the
posts in the main group, then maybe subgroups will work for you. If
you need everything to stay separated then you will want separate
groups.

One thing I don't know is if you would need to pay again to transfer a
separate Yahoo group to your main group. You might ask customer
service here. It would seem to me that Mark wouldn't transfer three
groups into one for just one payment. But you should ask before you
pay for a premium group.

I created several new groups a couple of days ago to make sure that
the old ones will continue on with some storage. It's also good to be
able to search past posts but only in two I've been asked if we can
take up a collection to get the money for a premium membership.

When a new subscriber wants to join my group, I receive the request twice.

Do you have two subscriptions (both set to owner or moderator status) to the same group using different email addresses? If the answer to that is yes then I suggest that you check what notifications are checked to be sent to each of them, and turn one of them (the "secondary" one) off.

There is a "sticky" topic on the web UI for this group (GMF) Follow the link in it. The topic in question is also here: /g/GroupManagersForum/topic/faq_on_transferring_from/35241417?p=,,,20,0,0,0::recentpostdate%2Fsticky,,,20,2,0,35241417.

Tim -- I'm going to give you a second answer to your question, based on the way you worded your subject line.

Perhaps it will add more clarity...or not.

A single email address ("your account") can own any number of groups. Those groups can be in any combination of the different plans: Basic, Premium or Enterprise.?The account itself is not on any payment plan -- the groups are.

For example, I own/co-own four groups:

1. One is a Premium group that we use for our Astronomy club.
2. The club has a separate group on the Basic plan for our board of directors, which itself has a subgroup for club member management.
3. A third primary group on the Basic plan supports a particular type of telescope mount.
4. My final Basic group is for my extended family members here in Indiana to communicate with each other (at least in theory).?

Now, if I needed to transfer all four those groups here from Y!G, each primary group would have to pay a separate fee for Premium Yearly. I would not have to pay the fee for the member-management subgroup.

So it would cost me $440 to have the transfer agent do that.

In short, when you pay the $110 for a transfer, you are upgrading the destination?group to Premium Yearly, not your account.

Hope this helps,
Bruce

Hello,
I'm a total groups.io novice.? I've run a U.S.Army Yahoo group for 15 years.? We have over 60,000 messages and 1150 members.?
How do I transfer the messages and member list to Groups.IO ???
I'm not concerned with attachments inside the messages - I've heard they don't transfer and that doesn't matter.
Any help (e.g. a guide?) would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Newbie question from a soon to be former YahooGroup owner.?

We currently have four YahooGroups. One could probably be a subgroup of another as there is a good degree of joint membership and similar topics. ?However, there are three distinct groups. ?Do I need three Group.io accounts??

I tried searching this (excellent) ?forum but did not see the answer. ?

Thanks?
