Well you should be all right for a few days, anyway! Rather than delete anything I suggest an email to [email protected] to report that Files and Photos have not been imported from Yahoo. To avoid the need for anyone asking don't forget to include details of the recipient Groups.io group name and that of the donor Yahoo group.

it says "Complete" on the Easy Transfer page

If you haven't received the email from Groups.io saying that the transfer is complete, it isn't.? That email will also have a summary of anything that couldn't be copied.

You can, but it's not recommended if you have files and/or photos.? Without the member information, ownership of all items goes to the group owner.? There IS a way to assign ownership of photos after the fact, but not files.? All of that type of information (and a lot more) is included in /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/home

Ken,

The email address that GIO uses to create the new GIO account is the one they used for their Yahoo group account.? Many of us (me included) do not use a yahoo account for that.? My yahoo account is tied to my own email address (not my yahoo email address).? My yahoo account simply gets my facebook notices so I never even look at it.? If you used a hotmail account to create your yahoo profile then that is the address that gets used and as such is the address that GIO uses to create the account at groups.io...if you do not already have an account (many of us do since we are members of many groups).

Yes you as the requester and owner can choose to exclude members but why would you want to?? If you do that then that is going to create a BIG problem because Mark has to first create members at GIO before bringing over emails because those emails get accredited to the original owner and if the original owner account does not get created then there is a problem.? Membership creation is the first step in the process and for good reason.? One fly in that ointment is that email accounts get created for those members of the yahoo group that are not listed in bounce status.? Also files and photos copied over are also listed as being owned by the original owner/poster and if they are not members (yet) then those files become listed as owned by you (the listed group owner).

Maybe that is not what you were asking but I hope that clarifies things.

Adding/removing groups to your 'Feed' page

#19783

Is there a way to do this? I see other groups, but not mine on the 'feed' page. I assume the 'icon' image you add will show as an avatar for your group on that page? Or am I wrong? I have no way to check since I don't know how to get my group to show. Thanks.

Re: In Yahoo Groups, When does the archives stop? A few are saying Oct 28

#19782

It's difficult to tell from the announcement.? It says you can't upload anything after Oct 28 and that the archives will go on Dec 14.? Since saving messages in the archive is a type of upload, it could go either way.? As you say, why wait until the last minute and miss a deadline.

Re: Incomplete Transfer

If you go to Photos>Albums... the total space used will show above the first row of pics.

I don't know when you did this, but I noticed my lists and many others had no photos showing up until about the 17th recently, and then they magically came back. So if you did it before then, you might have picked a bad time. Clicking on them before that just put up a server error message, and I'm pretty sure it was like that for days, maybe weeks. The header photos weren't showing either.

Send out the invitation to <[email protected]> from each of your YahooGroups now.
So you won't have to wait for invitations to be accepted before giving the 'go ahead' to start the transfer each YahooGroups one at a time

Re: Incomplete Transfer

#19778

Hi Chris!

Thanks for the suggestions; I can see, manually DL and access the files and Photos in the old Yahoo Group.? groups.io shows 67KB occupied by files and 0 KB by photos.? I cannot find the Yahoo content size but it is several GB, there are over 100 photos and as many files..

My worry is if I wait to see if they move over I will lose the window of accessing them.

Having entered an email alias on the personal groups.io Account setting, will this alias address be accepted for all the groups.io Groups I belong to? That is, an email alias is set on your personal groups.io account and not on individual groups.io Groups.

From the GMF wiki -?
/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Profile-and-Email-Address-and-Merging-Accounts

Adding an Email Alias

Since your account ID is your email address, you can only email from that address, unless you set an email alias. This is useful if you wanted to email to a group from your work computer.?

?

Note that an email alias is a POST-ONLY address. You will not receive mail at that email alias, nor can you set up an alias using an email address that is already in use as an established groups.io account.

?

Set that up on your group site - go to your name in the top right corner

?

Login to your account.

Select "Account" from the top right after logging in.?

Scroll down to the bottom of the page where it says "Advanced Settings For Email Aliases" and click on the right arrow at the far right of that line.

Enter the e-mail alias in the space below the text, then click the blue "Add Email Alias" button right below it.

You can also create a second account for yourself and make that No Mail or Special Notices Only if you decide not to allow No Mail.

That address does not exist for you to send messages to; it exists solely as a means of extracting all the information from a group hosted elsewhere, ie. Yahoo.

Why did you try to send an email to it?

I have successfully completed one Yahoo Group transfer and have just given the approval for the second Yahoo Group transfer to proceed. The time required has been only a few days in each case. Transfer works!

I appreciate any and all suggestions!

The transfer agent may have had a problem accessing the material from Yahoo. Go to your old Yahoo group and see if you can access the "missing" material as a start. Check the amount of storage used on Yahoo, and compare it with the amount of storage the Groups.io reports you as occupying in your new group.

Any assistance in finding out that the invite from my old yahoo group actually did go through to ask for assistance is greatly appreciated.

Shal wrote this earlier to someone else:

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.

Pablo,

I can relate to your "looking like a fool in public" comment and can readily apply it to myself, too. In my defense — I'm the OP (original poster) — I didn't really want the entire message quoted. I try to be selective in what quoted material I include in a reply. I just (mistakenly) thought that it was what the footer Reply link was trying to do, and failing because of the TB "Loading ..." bug. Thanks to the very helpful contributors to this support group, I realize now that I should have analyzed the situation more carefully before posting it as a problem. I'll follow up with you off-list on the TB "Loading ..." bug.
