this is uncharted territory for you guys.I think this is a good opportunity to mention this.? The GMF group is an unofficial support group for the site.?

Some of us have been here since almost the beginning.? We've been able to learn things as they're added or changed, so it's been a gradual process for us.? For folks new to the site, things can seem a bit overwhelming with all the improvements that have been made and the options that are available.

Re: Is IO charging a fee now
One thing to keep in mind: "There is no such thing as a free lunch". Groups.io is not ad-supported and your privacy is in no way impacted by your use of groups.io or your membership at groups.io. Unlike Yahoo, which is ad-supported and uses your personal information to pay for the services you receive(d) there.

So, expecting Mark to pay for all of us to continue using this service (which is far superior to Yahoo Groups in my opinion), is not reasonable. The challenge is to come up with an equitable way to share the cost of the services. It appears to me that Mark is testing those waters now. I'm certainly prepared to support a reasonable cost for these services. Dave Rypma Owner and Moderator of several groups here and (soon to be the past) Yahoo.?

Hi, I paid for Enterprise service plan last week and sent an invite to [email protected] from my Yahoogroup.

I did re-send the invite a couple of times just to make sure.Jim -- "Last week" is a pretty broad range, thus it's hard for us to gauge if your wait time has been excessive. To check status, follow the instructions in this message:?/g/GroupManagersForum/message/19948. If the status box at the top of the page says your invitation has been received but not accepted yet, then you're probably fine...you just have to keep waiting. If it says something else, report back here and we'll try to give you further guidance. Regards, Bruce |

A few years ago there was a surge in transfers and the wait time got up to around 2 weeks.? Having said that, an Enterprise account should be the highest priority available.? Sending more than one invitation can actually slow things down.? Just check the status at the top of your transfer page to make sure the invitation was received at GIO, then wait (as patiently as you can.)

I do not consider this a support issue.?? I would feel differently if every group were up and running with no problems, and I was still waiting for my dance partner

That grease is only applicable during the transfer, so no need to be too concerned about it.? As far as I can tell, normal priority for the support queue is: 1.? Enterprise groups 2.? Premium groups 3.? Basic groups 4.? Everything else Mark did mention one time that general help should be handled by groups like GMF and that support should only be used for bugs.

Re: HOW TO CHECK TRANSFER STATUS (was: transfer problem)
Linda;
Here is my update, use it as a benchmark, I have migrated 2 groups.? The first took 5 days (Weekend included) from the request to completion.? The second I started on Saturday, and completed this morning (EST).? The email I got is included below to show that it was completed.? Both, I had upgraded to "paid" before I started any of the steps.? I have a third that I started yesterday but I mixed up the order of things to see how it does or does not work. One of mine had several failures on the Photo section - common issues on the Yahoo side - so I created a second migration of just the photos.? The request was completed within 4 hours.? There were several duplicates created of the photos that came over in the first wave.? But I got several of the missing ones back.? Lesson:? Check your data before and after you do the migration. Sample completed migration notification: Hello, The transfer of your Yahoo Group NSUinUSA to your Groups.io group NSUinUSA is complete. We've transferred the following parts of your group: ??? Members ??? Messages ??? Photos ??? Files ??? Links ??? Databases IMPORTANT: Yahoo Groups has been very unreliable lately. If you find that you are missing Photos, Files or Messages, it is because we were unable to export them due to problems with Yahoo Groups. Also, we do not transfer calendar events. Here are some statistics: ??? Total Members Processed: 104 ??? Successfully Added: 103 ??? Bounced Members (Skipped): 0 ??? Moderated Members: 0 ??? Members on Digest: 11 ??? Undisclosed Emails (Skipped): 0 The following email addresses were not added: ??? William_Ellis@...: Already subscribed 521 photos were transferred. 79 files were transferred. 16 links were transferred. WARNING: Some links were not able to be transferred because of a bug in Yahoo's export system. You will need to manually review the links. 0 databases were transferred. If you have any questions, please contact [email protected]. Cheers, The Groups.io Team |

66.175.222.12That's the email server for Groups.io? It looks like the MagicSpam being used by the site you're sending the invitations to needs to be updated.? Most of the other filters have learned that Groups.io is a reputable service, but there are bumps now and then.? There's nothing Groups.io can do about it, other than maintain their reputation.? You (or the recipient) will need to contact that service to correct the problem.

Re: When should I be concerned?

As long as systematically we are good, I am satisfied.? I'm not worrying at this point, I'm just... curious.?? :D I am running interference on eager beavers creating their own IDs on GIO.? I just wanted to have some plausibility if I got pushback on asking them to delete their IDs here (I don't feel like trying to merge IDs.) We thankfully have some generous contributors that have -er- contributed so I wasn't stuck for the fee, plus late in the game we got a corporate sponsor who agreed to underwriting the original fee.? Haven't yet told him of the 100% increase, nor about the 100% grease that's available for the wheels.?? Those will be discussions for after the group is up and running.
