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. |

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. |

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.? Janis |
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.

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

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

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. Susan Susan Taylor Brown?

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. Chris |
