Incomplete Transfer
Hi all,
I followed the instructions in the GMF on transferring my Yahoo group (5700 members, 6 GB content) and three days later it says "Complete" on the Easy Transfer page. 5500 members and many messages were transferred, but only one file and one photo have showed up in the new io group. If I delete the completed transfer request, will it also delete users or just the transfer request itself? I emailed groups.io and they suggested I check with people in GMF. I appreciate any and all suggestions! Howard Hoyt [email protected] owner |

Re: A few questions about the yahoo change
Shal - You nailed it. It wasn’t quite a typo, it was that I’d included the domain when I put in the Yahoo group’s email address! So now the “existing transfers� box says You have 1 transfer in process or completed. The screen shots were exactly what needed. I did not notice if the notice at the top of the page changed to say “We’ve received the invite…� I hope it did. I don’t have the email from either but hopefully it will show up. Are they taking days to show up? As of now, “transfer� has not shown up as a member of the yahoo group either but guess I’ll just have to wait. I realized we have a second group that was set up on yahoo some years ago to hold files and photos we had no room for. This was before Yahoo gave us more storage space. I need to transfer it to too. It could possibly become a subgroup under our main group, but I’m just not ready to tackle that now. Do I have to pay another $110 to do this? I hope not. Thank you Shal. As always you are a great fixer of problems!! Susan B On Oct 20, 2019, at 4:16 AM, Shal Farley <shals2nd@...> wrote: Susan, > Could you advise?

The prior steps of setting up the transfer set up the automation to expect an invitation from the group name you specified. So once the invitation is received that status notice should change promptly (from "Make sure you have sent an invite to your group for the user [email protected] ..." to "We've received the invite ..." I can only think of two possibilities here: a typo when you entered the address into the Yahoo Group's Invite page, or Yahoo is backlogged in sending out Invitations. Notwithstanding the possible uptick in Invitations I'm skeptical of a backlog, as even Yahoo's automation should be able to handle that. Have a look at the screenshots in GMF's step-by-step and see if anything seems out of place compared to what you are seeing. Then let us know. /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Transfer-from-Yahoo-Groups Shal |
Daily Summary Question
#messages
From what I'm reading, you receive a summary once every 24 hours. It could have very few messages or hundreds, depending on your group's message traffic that day. Is that correct? Is it true that the summary contains only the first few words of each message and not the whole message? Does it work that way regardless of how many messages are within a summary? I'm uncertain what is true and what is untrue about any of this.

Re: Post-Transfer Question - Are YG Members required to re-enroll or not in Groups.IO ?
How do you mean reenroll? They have accounts that are created, so they would have to create a password. Is this what you mean? Otherwise can you restate your quesstion a bit more clear? Sarah Alawami, owner of TFFP. On 20 Oct 2019, at 10:29, 4billkay@... wrote:

Post-Transfer Question - Are YG Members required to re-enroll or not in Groups.IO ?
I have a Yahoo Group with 1300 members.
I created a Groups.IO group of the same name. If I pay for the Premium Transfer, and it's completed successfully..... Would the members currently enrolled on my Yahoo Group __automatically__ then be enrolled on the Groups.io group? .......OR....... Do the Yahoo Members have to re-enroll in Groups.io ? Thanks, Bill in San Diego |

Re: Migration complete! Have hope!
Good to hear. Can you be more specific when you said you kicked this off "last week"? What day, specifically? Your group sounds like mine, albeit mine has about 5 times as many folks in it.

Re: Threading/Conversations
If you're replying from the email you've received, how much quoted text you have may depend somewhat on the email handler you use. On mine (I use OEClassic) it's set up to include the entire message as quoted text. I simply click on Reply and the original message appears with room at the top for adding a reply. After all, the message came from the group and you're replying to that address. You don't need to select anyone else because the groups.io system handles all that. After I've input my reply I scroll down and remove as much of the quoted material as I think is appropriate before sending.

For a person who's getting a message with no quoted text, click on "View/Reply Online" link in the message footer, which will open up the entire thread on the web page. I hope this helps. Dano ----- Original Message -----
We currently have a Yahoo group with about 300 users. I setup a Groups.io group and added 10 users as a test. When using Reply to Group to reply to an email the content from other replies is removed. For those users with Threading or Conversations enabled this is OK. However for users without Threading or Conversations enabled they only see that reply which can be very confusing. What is the recommended procedure? |
Migration complete! Have hope!
Some good news for all of you anxious about your migration from Yahoo. I'm happy to report that last week I created my first forum here, upgraded to Premium for $110, and then initiated the steps for Groups.io to do the migration:/static/transferand/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Transfer-from-Yahoo-Groups. Be sure to carefully read and follow the steps on the above pages. Today our new group.io is fully migrated and active, including:
Given the workload that Yahoo's closure is causing, and differences in forums, your results may be different. Tom |

And there is a workaround. I tried uploading via my iPad and it worked properly. Many thanks! Jerry At 11:41 AM 10/20/2019, you wrote: On Sun, Oct 20, 2019 at 11:38 AM, Jerry Berg wrote: |
