Should be. I haven't heard of any problems and Mark is a smart guy.

Tue 10/22 0900 ET
Purchased Premium Plan, requested a transfer from Yahoo Groups, and invited [email protected]

Received email from groups.io to make [email protected] a YG moderator, did so and gave the transfer go ahead
?

Your group is awaiting import into Groups.io. There are about 198 groups ahead of it in the queue. [Step 3 of 4]

Fri 10/25 1200 ET
Your group is awaiting import into Groups.io. There are about 101 groups ahead of it in the queue. [Step 3 of 4]

Mark and the groups.io team are running as fast they can, please be patient with them. They have responded to the Yahoo debacle like no other company has.

Edward -- What is this "transfer letter?" Could you tell us what it says?

What step are you at in the process? Have you checked your status as described in?/g/GroupManagersForum/message/19948? Can you send us a screenshot of that page?

I understand your distress, but you really need to calm down and put more effort into telling us what you've done. Until that happens, it will be very difficult to help you.

Progress of sorts

So after I had clicked on the "Give Go Ahead to Transfer" button, we just wait, I assume?

Y transfer to two subgroups at the same time?

 

Is it OK to start transfers to different subgroups at the same time? I didn't see that thing about one group at a time until last night, after I had already started the process. :-(

Thanks,
Su


Re: Odd situation - Yahoo says transfer@ has accepted, status doesn't #transfer

 

Thanks, all! Especially those who have also seen this, for the reassurance.

Yes, Bruce, the emails are from Yahoo which does know when the [email protected] account accepts the invite to join the Y groups.

OK, I will wait to see the email from Groups.io.

Thanks,
Su

Unfortunately I already did especially after support told me that they couldn't help me!
That they were overwhelmed and to seek help here; which doesn't seem that anyone here will be able to help me either.
This is really messed up and I don't know what to do.

It will allow others to get ahead of you in the transfer queue, but that's all. :-)

Re: suspicious link messge #post-transfer

 

Since she mentioned Chrome my guess is she may be using gmail. I created my groups here after signing up with a gmail email.? I made my old Yahoo owner email an owner here also because of issues with gmail.? They are putting my group messages in every possible category except promotions.? Several are being marked as Spam but are not Spam.?

Have there been issues with using? gmail for group messages in the past?
I changed to full featured digest hoping that wouls solve the problem. If it does not I may have to use the plaintext option and hopefully get all the messages that way free of notices.? Meanwhile, I am getting individual emails in my old Yahoo email account.

Maybe.? If someone happens to know the name of the group, or can guess it, they can still get to the Home page.? A remote possibility, but could happen.

I wouldn't.? That could lead to problems, especially after it's been accepted.

The easiest way is not to pay for the next cycle.? Mark mentioned the other day that a notice will be sent 2 weeks before renewal, so you should be able to downgrade at that time.? Just make sure that your group content fits within the limits of whatever plan you downgrade to.

Re: How to remove the "Apply for membership" button.

 

If you change to not private, not visible in directory, potential unwanted members cannot find your group.
If your group is closed and membership is closed, there is no reason to be visible in the directory.

You can still invite your club members or, if you are a premium group you can direct add members of your club.? They need to know you plan to do that before you add everyone ib your club.?

Re: [email protected] isn't a member of my Yahoo group

 

I just found it by searching members with just "transf". Perhaps it would be a good idea to resend the invite? Perhaps the email was sent that the invite was accepted by mistake.

I was going to select the Downgrade option now, but when I do, the message that appears prior to confirmation
is that the downgrade will occur after the current monthly period...yet I am on the yearly plan.

Transferring Content from Yahoo Groups to groups.io #transfer

 

Doug,

You may want to review this post on detailed steps to transfer content from Yahoo to groups.? It will transfer all members, photos, files, etc, based on your preferences.

You should also join the Group Managers Forum if you plan to admin the group - or have someone who volunteers to do so.

Re: after almost 24 hours, [email protected] isn't a member of my Yahoo group

 

I sent my invite on Tuesday and got the notice today they had joined my Yahoo Group. So that was about 3 days. However, I have not received the email that is supposed to come telling me to make the [email protected] a moderator yet. I'm waiting for that before proceeding to the next step. Need to follow the instructions from /yahootransfer verbatim.

Steps To Transfer Your Group

These steps?must be done in this order?otherwise the group transfer process will not happen.

  1. Create your new Groups.io group and upgrade it to premium for a year.
  2. Set up and start the transfer process by clicking the?Set Up New Transfer?button, below. You'll be asked to select your Groups.io group and for the name of your Yahoo Group.
  3. Send an invite?from your Yahoo Group?to?[email protected]
  4. We will accept the invite and then send you an email directing you to make the?[email protected]?member a moderator.
  5. After you have made the?[email protected]?member a moderator, return here, select your?Existing Transfer?transfer, and tell us that you are ready for the transfer to happen.?Your group must be signed up for the Premium Yearly plan.
  6. Once we receive the go ahead, as soon as we are able, we will download the member list and other parts of your Yahoo Group and directly add your members to your new Groups.io group.


Re: Step 5 - no green "Give Go Ahead to Transfer" button. #transfer

 

Thank you, Bruce, for the quick reply. I am fine with waiting if that is what it is all about and I haven't messed up on my end. One more question - if I don't act on the green button ASAP, as in a few days, that won't affect anything, will it? We are heading into a likely power outage weekend and I am not sure how useful my phone might be at that time. So my green button might languish a few days.

I? can do the pull-down menu, choose my group, but on the resulting page I DO NO have the green "Give Go Ahead to Transfer" button. " At the top of the page I still show the message "We've received the invite to your group and will accept it soon. There is no need to send another invite." At the bottom of the page there is a blue "update transfer" button, a delete button, and an expedite button.

Susan -- Thank you for the detailed description of your problem!

Several people have recently reported that the status has been slow to update at this stage of the process. An email will eventually be sent to you, and the status will update (and the "Give Go Ahead to Transfer" button become active) at that time.

Until it does, all you can do is wait (and keep checking periodically).?

Hope this helps,
Bruce

As indeed am I. My "contact" has again spoken to BT and had to go through the entire rigmarole of explaining the problem again. The response at the moment is that if the web UI works then that is seen as OK and a problem when a client is in use is something in which they are not really interested. Not a satisfactory response really, given that the use of email clients of one sort or another is a very well - established practice.

That aside they agreed to refer the problem upwards and he is awaiting a phoned cll on Monday from "Level 2". Depending on what happens then he will try to engage Ofcom's interest.

Michael -- If you go through the process described in?/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Profile-and-Email-Address-and-Merging-Accounts, then yes.

If you don't go through that process, and lose access to the email address that's associated with your account, you may find yourself unable to log in at all. See?/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Group-Content-Is-Missing
