October 28th
If I read Yahoo's statement correctly, from next Monday nobody will be able to post online on Yahoogroups, nothing new will appear in the archives, but posting via email continues as normal. This means that for those groups currently in the transfer process only Yahoogroups messages posted before October 28th will be transferred. Also, for groups who's transfer process has reached the 'export from Yahoo' stage but waiting to be transferred to groups.io similarly all new messages posted to Yahoogroups will not be transferred. Many groups will be in a sort of limbo stage. Have I read this correctly? Of course what actually happens on Monday with Yahoo is anybody's guess.

which I don't really want to delete 20 at a timeYou can change the number of lines you see for most pages in your Account settings (upper right) on the Preferences page.? 20 is the default, but you have options of 50, 100, and infinite scroll.? For some reason that I don't quite understand, infinite scroll in a database only gives you 20 rows.? It will still be some work, but 100 at a time is 5x better than 20. ;>) Folks do run into timeout problems now and then, so using small batches is a good idea.? I suspect the system is well loaded right now, so timeouts may be more common.

Thanks Mark!FYI, no one from Groups.io management is on this group, but it's certainly refreshing to hear some good news now and then.?

What I remember seeing somewhere is that there was some "strange" email address to use, containing the group name, and bunches of numbers etc. - long email address.That can be used for various reasons, but isn't needed for normal interaction.? If your group name is butterflies, they'd send email to butterflies@ group.io (without the space)? For replies, the address will automatically be filled in when they hit the Reply button in their email program.

Discourse is a *BIG DEAL* to only use for emails! Way overkill. It's a full-featured flat forum system. Check out Eve Online or World of Warcraft forums to see it in action. Hi Juulz... I'm attempting to respond to your message from my outside email not from the online forum page. Practicing what I think most of our folks want to do. You are right that Discourse seems to be quite the big deal. The person who is familiar with it and wants us to switch to it believes we should have more capability than just emailing back and forth. From my perspective, groups.io seems to have plenty of capability, including the online forum view, searching, etc. For us to run a Discourse system, and be affordable, we would have to download and maintain/support the software on our own server, otherwise their hosting fee from them is $100 per month. I'm just trying to see what really works and how well to be able to make an "intelligent" decision. This other fellow seems a bit "pushy" in his desire for us to move in his direction. -Herb |

Re: Any way to glean the emails from Yahoo Group members so I can transfer them all myself?

Any ideas on how to glean the emails from the Yahoo group for mass import to a groups.io site?That's been covered several times recently, using various methods.? There's no way for you to import them, so you'd need to create a file or something like that.

Query:? How do I know my place in the queue?? Other people seem to figure that out.That will be on the transfer page once you move to at least Step 3 of 4.
