Wow,

Our experiences differ...when I try to log in to do anything, it gives an authentication error, even though it never has in the past, and all credentials are correct.? I have tried tens of times and no joy.

Howard, is your Yahoo userID att.net, sbcglobal.net, bellsouth.net, or one of the other telcos? If so, you will need to change some things before you can get past the authentication error.

The telcos use their own password scheme, so you can have a common password for email, home phone, and cellphone. Yahoo warned you about this several months ago and told you to get a real Yahoo ID to manage the groups. Did you do it?

I did and made it a moderator. Then I logged in with that ID and made my old ID a moderator, too.

But to make PGO work, I have to use the new Yahoo ID. Simply repeat my process and PGO will be able to log in, using the new ID.
Re: transfer problem

 

I have the a similar issue. I invited [email protected] to my Yahoo group, but the invitation has not been accepted. If this is just a delay due to the volume of requests, I'm fine with that, but I worry that the invitation has not been received. Yahoo is such a mess.

You mention a status box I guess on the transfer page, but I don't know where to see that. Sorry for being a dumb newbie.

I have one member of a group that has a "." in the first part of his email address.? Both times I have tried to add him, Groups.io seems to remove the ".".? Since this is not his email address, he is getting error messages.? Help for this?

Cindy -- If the target primary group is already on a Premium Yearly payment plan, I see no reason why you can't do it. If you're paying for Premium month by month, the answer will probably be no.

Adam; you doubtless noticed that groups.io redacted part of PA0DUV's email address, at least on the web UI here. (I do not use email delivery for groups; my Inbox would probably self - destruct.)

Have a look on QRZ.com; there is an email address for him there which may or may not be the same as that you already have; if it's different then try it. Does the Yahoo group have any other moderators with the necessary permissions?

If nothing else your experience is a timely reminder that all groups should have more than one owner.

With groups.io, the messages from?signupgenius are bouncing. Here is the error I see in our groups.io activity log:

Non-member msprvs1=181969m0f3sot=bounces-85935@... attempted to send message "CCI at Applovin in San Francisco, 11/7/2019 Invite" via email


It appears the groups.io is looking at the Sender field, not the From field.

Is there any way to fix this?

Groups with more messages than this have been transferred successfully. In the unlikely event that it doesn't work this time, you'll have Yahoo to thank for it. And having paid for Premium Yearly, you can always try again if the first attempt leaves some content behind, or otherwise doesn't meet with your satisfaction.

Good luck,

1. Are Yahoo message numbers preserved?
At first, I thought they were; now I think not - they are just a serial number assigned by g.io. #8391 on Y!G became #8197 in g.io
Tom -- As you note, message numbers are assigned in sequence, just as they were in Y!G. This is true whether posted by email, on the web page, or brought over via transfer.

Please also note that messages may have been deleted from the Y!G message base before it was ever transferred. This sometimes causes consternation when the transfer agent reports a number of messages transferred that is less than the message # of the last message that was posted to the group.

I hope you were able to follow that.?

2. What happens to hyperlinks to a message? from within another message? from within a file? Are they transformed to the new path and message number?
Nada. The link is unchanged, pointing to the old Y!G message number. Aargh - that's going to take some tracking down.
Expecting the transfer agent to parse every message for every conceivable cross-reference strikes me as unrealistic.

3. Has anybody come up with a way to map g.io message numbers to the original Y!G #s?
If anyone has done such a thing, it has not been reported since I've been here (approx 2 years).

4. Searching for such links is a problem. g.io seems to ignore the forward slash "/" in the search term. Is there an escape or control character to force it to be a literal? Does it even search within the hyperlink tag? Are there any search tips?
The search engine is capable of handling string literals, so try "/thisstring" instead. No guarantees that this won't escape the t.

Hey Adam (and anybody else stuck with this problem),

It's possible that the email address that Y!G has for the list owner is actually a dead or abandoned address.? If you have that email address, try sending an email to the same name at gmail.com.? Example:? if the owner's email was tjohnson5@...,?try sending email to tjohnson5@...? If you know her name was Thea Johnson, try thea.johnson@....? This is just grasping at straws here, but nothing else has worked for you has it?

If you know the person's name, or feel like doing some more sleuthing, try to do an internet search for their name and the clubs/interests you know about them.? You may be able to find their current email address.

If you *do* find them, they'll still need to deal with Yahoo, or hopefully they'll remember their Y!G password.

Good luck!

After getting the message that groups.io has accepted the invitation to the yahoo group and setting it as moderator I try to start the transfer. Clicking on the ¡°go ahead to transfer¡± button, nothing happens. It just returns to the same page. I confirmed that [email protected] is a moderator. I¡¯ve been trying for the last 24 hours. Is there some built in delay that¡¯s being run into?

I will next learn The process of transferring the messages and I think that will be pretty straight forward for the newer and/or smaller groups.

Continue waiting.? You can check the status box at the top of your transfer page to verify that the invitation has been received by GIO.? Once it has, it's a matter of waiting.? Right now that can be an extended time because of the sudden demand.

24+ hours and no acceptance of Yahoo Group invitation to [email protected] from groups.io transfer agent

Adrian Segar
 

I wish to move an existing group from Yahoo to groups.io. I have set up the new group on groups.io and paid for a premium plan. I sent the invite from my Yahoo group for [email protected] to join the Yahoo group over 24 hours ago, but groups.io has not accepted the invitation. (In other words, I've not seen [email protected] join as a member of the Yahoo group.) According to the documentation, that invite should have gone out in a few hours. So I am stuck waiting. Please advise on what to do.

Thanks!
