FAQ on Moving from YahooGroups
GMF Wiki: (unofficial) Help for members (and would-be members) and group managers

TIA,

It sounds like you didn't follow the instructions. Since they didn't accept
the invitation, there would be no entry to make owner. So I guess you
created the entry, and that messes it up. Between the automated and human
parts, it must be done exactly as said. Just like you can't send the invite
until after you have paid the group fee to enable the transfer and you start
the transfer sequence.

Ah, Thanks, Bruce.? Now I understand why it keeps popping up with the same date and time stamp.? Since I sort by date I don't see the new one come in.? Very useful.

Folks -- Appended below please find detailed instructions on how to conduct a transfer using the Easy Group Transfer method.

I will be re-posting this periodically for the benefit of all the new people that continue to flood in. My apologies for the inevitable dupes in your email inbox.

Here is the process. It is not fully automated and will take several days. Do not do anything out of order.

The following instructions are for a full-width desktop/laptop display. This can all be done on mobile too, but it's a lot easier if you don't.

0.1 Go here:?/

0.2 At the bottom of the page, you'll find a link that says "Easy Group Transfer." Click it.

0.3 Scroll to the bottom of the subsequent page and click on the big blue button labelled "Yahoo Group Instructions."

0.4 You should be at?/yahootransfer. Read the instructions carefully, including all the Notes. Bookmark this page, too. You will come back here several times.

1.1 Create your groups.io group and configure it according to your needs. Help with group settings can be found here:??/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Quick-Start-for-Group-Formation?(Note: Each new group must be reviewed to confirm that it meets the Groups.io Terms of Service. This alone could take up to a day.)
1.2 To use the Easy Group Transfer, you must upgrade the group to the Premium Yearly plan.?You can downgrade to the Basic plan later (i.e.: a year from now), if you want.
To do so, select Admin>Upgrade from the left-side menu bar and click on the blue "View/Change Plan" button. Select "Premium Yearly" (one-time cost of $220) and make your payment.?
(You have now completed Step 1 of the instructions)

2.1 Return to the bookmarked page (/yahootransfer). Click on the big green button at the bottom that says "Set Up New Transfer."
2.2 Enter the name of your Yahoo group and the name of your groups.io group in their respective boxes. The groups.io group is conveniently selected from a pick-list of those groups that you own. Do NOT enter any domain information (i.e.:?leave off[email protected] or @yahoogroups.co.uk), just the group name.
2.3 Click the big green "Start Group Transfer Process" button at the bottom of the page.?
(You have now completed Step 2 of the instructions)

3.1 Go to your YAHOO GROUP (not your groups.io group) and log in. Send a membership invitation to "[email protected]". If you've never done this before, instructions can be found at??
3.2 Return to the bookmarked page?(/yahootransfer) once again. Select the group you are transferring from the Existing Transfers menu at bottom right (pull down the menu and click on the group name). A new page will come up, with?a status box at the top. If all is well, it should say: "We've received the invite to your group and will accept it soon. There is no need to send another invite." If it doesn't say that, the invitation did not go through. Go back to Step 10 above and try again.?
(You have now completed Step 3 of the instructions)

4.1 BE PATIENT. Accepting the invitation is often?the longest step in the process, and requires human intervention (solving a CAPTCHA).?
4.2 BE EVEN MORE PATIENT.?Do not send additional invitations in an attempt to hurry things up.
4.3 You will eventually receive an email from groups.io stating that the Yahoo group invitation has been accepted, and providing you with further instructions. Continue waiting until you receive this email.
(You have now completed Step 4 of the instructions)

5.1 Return to your YAHOO GROUP and log in. Find the "[email protected]" member record (sorting by join date is the easiest way) and promote it to a Moderator. Instructions for this can be found at?.
5.2 Return to the groups.io page that you bookmarked in #4 above one more time. Once again, pull down the "Existing Transfers" menu at bottom right and select the group you're ready to transfer. On the resulting page, click the green "Give Go Ahead to Transfer" button.?
(You have now completed Step 5 of the instructions)

61 BE PATIENT AGAIN. The ability to actually do the transfer depends on how well Yahoo's servers are operating. We all know what that means, right? (If you want to check status, see?/g/GroupManagersForum/message/19948).
6.2 You may notice some activity in your new groups.io group, which probably reflects partial completion of the process. Do not panic. This is what you wanted to happen!
6.3 When the transfer is done, you will receive an email from groups.io summarizing what it was able to transfer. It will also list whatever things it was?NOT?able to transfer. Until this email is received, you aren't done yet.
6.4 Rejoice.

Most of us have "been there" with this process before and it all sounds easy in hindsight. Ironically, the same thing that's causing most people to abandon Y!G (server downtime) is exactly the same thing most likely to get in the way of completing the transfer process.?The best time to initiate a transfer is when Yahoo is performing well.?If you procrastinate until things are crashing and burning, delays, incomplete transfers, and other such frustrations can be expected.

Hope this helps,
Bruce

My groups are not imported to groups.io yet, so I wanted to get the mapping from yahoo to groups.io corrected before they make a mess of it. ? There are 3 groups and they should all me 1-to-1 per group name, I sent this to support and no reply for days. ? I cannot Change the mapping myself.. the pull down toggle is greyed out. ?

DId you invite [email protected]?or direct add them?

The steps at?/yahootransfer?need to be followed exactly.

I sent [email protected]? email mentioining that 2 of my 3 group transfers are MIS-MAPPED

I'd like some clarification.? Is it one or two groups that are mis-mapped?? Or two of the three are okay, but the third is mapped to one of the first two?? I'm trying to think of a way that this might be corrected before the import is started.

I was 732 yesterday, now I'm on position 731.

But thats not a problem right now, this means the data is allreaddy exported from yahoo, so it's now only a question of time.

My other goup make me more nervous, it isn't exported from yahoo right now, i don't trust yahoo not only a little bit...

Maybe some people payed the $200 speed up ticket and that put you backwards?

You can pay the $200 ticket if it is that ugent for you.

How do I add additional owners to a group?

Dennis Steckley

I? have just created a group to transfer our Yahoo group over. Do I need to wait for an email to say that the group has been accepted and is ok for others to join?
Is it possible to have a questionnaire sent to members applying to join a group here? If it is, how do I set that up?
Thanks for any help you can give me.
Lynne

Transfer fees paid and request made on October 18 and invite was sent from yahoo and [email protected] was made a owner at yahoo.

Invite has been received by GIO on Oct 18

But invite is yet to be accepted.

Looks like too much time has taken and wonder if something fell thru the cracks.
The group is TaxProXchange at GIO.
What should I do next?

TIA

I'd like to change the font style and size (use Helvetica 16) but I can't see how to change it on my webpage message template. ?I saw the GMF messages that said there was a "format bar" when yoou clicked on "settings" - but I don't see it. ?Probably simple, but I can't find it.
Thank you,
David

Is there a setting where that can be changed?

There's no setting to change that, it's done automatically by the site.? My suggestion would be to make sure that something is added above the quote, say "Answers inline".? That should cause everything to be visible, but I haven't verified it.? Working with quotes has been an ongoing battle and adjustments are sometimes made.

So far I have not been able to find a ‘status’ page regarding receipt.

If your invitation was received, it will say so in the box at the top of the resulting page.
