Yahoo group> group.io unusual question for Management...Help..
#issue
#howto
This question has to do with differentiating 0 with ?.? It happens our Ham radio group and our government issued license is for? W?VFW (VFW post 3115 Amateur Radio Club 1st and oldest VFW post sponsored Ham Radio Club in the USA) Yes, it's a Zero but displayed not to confuse it with an "O". Been that was since dirt. started with telegraph operators to distinguish ZERO from OH.
Since our Yahoo group inception Feb 6, 2012 we have been relegated to use the group name W0VFW as yahoo didn't like ?. Even our license plates have ?.
I am owner of the group on Yahoo and we will be moving to groups.io shortly.... Can we call our group W?VFW or will be nothing but trouble. Most hams if they use their call in a email address use 0 and lament they shoul dof used ? if everone knew the magic to make one.
How will groups.io handle it?
Quick lesson to type a ? - Hold the Left ALT key and type 0214 on the right keypad..? Some ham redefine their keyboard. so "0" over the "P" is "?" as keyboards have 2 0's.
Advise...?

SOOO relieved!! I mean transfer was made a moderator yesterday and I gave the go ahead to begin. I imagine this takes several days?? Those of you that have successfully finished transferring from YahooGroups to IO Groups, what is the average amount of days it takes? I have over 10,000+ members and many messages. Curious.? <grin>

You will not see the migration; it will just happen. Unless it is absolutely essential that your existing group keeps functioning it might be better to advise your members of the forthcoming migration and suggest that they don't post until such time as they have been notified by Groups.io that the migration is complete at which point they should use Groups.io not Yahoo.

Only if you want to jump to a faster list of getting your? group transferred do you need to pay the $200.
The $110 got you at end of a listing to transfer. As they work through the list your group will be transferred.
Some people wanted to get their group transferred faster so groups.io started another list and charged $200 to get on that list. So if you pay the $200 you get
on the end of that list.
I assume they will work that second list completely before working on the first list.
Thus someone wanting faster service paid today the $200 they would be done it appears before any more on the first listing.
So do you need to pay the $200 it is up to you.

Deleting a YGroup VS waiting for Yahoo's Axe to fal . . .!
For those of us with YGroups who are by now completely moved and settled in at GIO perhaps with their old YGroups set to inactive, I am wondering . . . .
Is it better to wait 'til the 28th to for Yahoo to delete the group content, etc., or to go ahead now and just delete the old YGroup now?
In our case a year ago after we moved to GIO I had left our YGroup in place, intact but inactive, with a 'signpost' message in the homepage photo saying we'd moved and to come visit us over here on GIO. Even so there were a very scant few new member applications made to our old YGroup every month or two. So I had to manually re-direct those to our new GIO group and then delete them from the old YGroup.
So, what should we do . . . Wait or Delete our YGroups now?
My dilemma, I guess, is based in whether Yahoo will leave the old homepage intact after they delete the other content from the YGroups.

Re: How to xfer yahoo msgs emailed after Oct 28?
I think only Yahoo would know the answer to that one.
One thing that *used* to work back in the good old days was to subscribe one group to another... So when a message was posted to group A, of which group B was a member, the email would go to group B also.? It's an ugly hack and probably won't work with GIO, but might be worth a shot.
Or, to be safe... transfer sooner.

Have you given your members advance warning of the migration to Groups.io? That will help reduce the risk of "what's all this about"? Chris

Re: changing email address as owner of a group
You have a couple of options. Assuming the "wrong email address" belongs to you and you can receive email at the address, you can just change the address in your Account settings, but this will affect ALL groups using this email address. The better alternative may be to join the group with the intended address and then promote that user to Owner of the group. You can then either demote or remove the original email you didn't want to use as Owner. Just think carefully through the steps to avoid getting yourself into more problems. If you don't have access to that original address, you have a problem that will be more difficult to resolve and may need to contact [email protected]. Dave Rypma (just another user)?

Re: Paid to Move but problems
Margery;? I can not say that have had that problem, but it took a little time for the group Page to settle after I paid to upgrade.? Keep in mind, those of us who moved before last week did not experiance any of the issues that now are happening.? I think if Mark had known that Yahoo was going to drop the knife, he would have ramped up for the wave that hit.
As an example, I had several free groups that I upgraded two weeks ago and moved them within days.? Yesterday I tried to start the migration request - having already added the agent and adding them as a moderator - and can not seem to get the migration request to move beyond the "we will accept the invite no need to send another."? I will let it sit and try later today.
Net Net, send the note to support and I am sure they will reply when they can or keep checking the migration page for your request update.

Re: $110 transfer question about attachments.
A corollary to that is the question: "How can I restore a lost attachment to a message in groups.io?" ?That assumes that the attached file can be found:
- Yahoo can list messages with attachments so they can be downloaded one-by-one
- PG Offline can batch download attachments along with messages (curious, if PBO can get the attachments, why can't Easy Transfer?)
- The message author or other member may have the file
- It may be found somewhere else in the cloud
I just started looking into this question when I saw your topic... Tom

Re: Migrating the Yahoo stragglers
Does migration take a snapshop, then start sucking bits?

Re: How to xfer yahoo msgs emailed after Oct 28?
There's no easy way to do what you want.? You'd need to put the 'missing' messages in a file and upload that - awkward.
Are there instructions for doing this?? Shutting down a group for what could possibly be weeks doesn't work for many groups. Thanks.

Re: 2 questions: Posting archive messages; how to moderate
I used this on Sunday:
Kinda complicated, but worked well once I got it set up. I did 1000 messages at a time.? You end up with a .TXT file for each 1000 messages.? It's very messy - each group message has all the headers.? But it could be searched?in the future.? I then uploaded these text files (1000 messages each) to the files section of my group.? Our yahoo group has been quiet of late, but there is some history that I thought needed to be preserved.? We had about 6500 messages in the old group.
I also didn't auto-add anyone to the group - I sent a message to the old group inviting them to add themselves to the new group.? I figured it was a way to clean it up (many group members were either bouncing or set to no email anyway).??
I had to manually download about 1000 pictures from the yahoo group as well, but it allowed me to get the new group set up in a matter of a couple hours, so I avoided the conversion process.
We have an absentee owner in one group that I¡¯m moving here as a free basic group.? We want to preserve a message archive that¡¯s very valuable to our members. I¡¯m thinking about posting our old messages that reside in a folder on my computer to our new group here. I know they would all post under my name. But would that work? There might be 5000 or more messages.
Also can someone point me to instructions on how to moderate and approve or reject messages? In a group that the transfer agent is working on, all our members are moderated all the time to prevent incorrect advice from being posted.
Thank you.

Yes, that would work and you understand the side effects.? If you forward them and include message headers, you could even use the search function later to find postings by their information, if that would be of any use.? Might make the message archive a bit ugly though.
