Just like it is on a lot of web sites, white letters on a white background (or black on black, green on green, etc.)? When you use your mouse to highlight the page, the hidden stuff pops out.

I'm waiting too. They probably have a ton to transfer. Hopefully we hear from them soon.

No, to get GIO to do it, the charge is $220 (the first year "premium").?? If you want to expedite the transfer (which they seem to handle very quickly), then the charge is an extra $200.?

I should point out that it seems once you request the basic transfer and the invite from Yahoo to the GIO is accepted by GIO, the EXPORT out of Yahoo is done fairly quickly in a few days.? What most of us in the queue are waiting for (in "Stage 3") is IMPORT into GIO.? But at this stage you can rest more easily that your messages and content (at least the past 10 years of messages ) have been rescued out of Yahoo and are with GIO so the December 14th cutoff date would no longer apply.??? I am taking the extra step of capturing all of my messages with the PG Offline 4 program (for $24.95).? This program only writes out SQLite and MYSQL format files.? Microsoft Access can read MYSQL.? I have to analyze where SQLite can go.??

Hi,

I am trying to move a large (5,000 member), 20 year old neighborhood yahoogroup (adamsmorgan) to groups.io

I believe I followed the instructions...upgraded to premium then began the process.

I invited the required email address to be a member, but never got the “invitation accepted, make it a moderator” email. I waited and waited, but heard nothing. I tried again, still nothing.

What can/should I do? Very, very frustrated!

I set up the links in the Database section.??? You create a separate "table" for links within the database and then specify the columns of the table.??? I have several columns:? link_url, description, comments, date (when originally set up), suggester....

Ok so according to the caveats...I CAN rename a group... but. ?I will do the group renaming on a Friday night!!! ? Thanks!!! ?

Dale? -- Based on previous posts, I assume you have already deleted any undesirable/overlapping content from both groups?

If you want to swap group names, you'll have to do it as follows:

Rename group aaa to xxx
Rename group bbb to aaa
Rename group xxx to bbb

Then go through both groups and clean up things according to the instructions on affected content at?/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Renaming-a-Group

Hope this helps,
Bruce

He also said he's put the beta list on moderation and any feature requests will be ignored until (probably) mid-December:

YG group members transferred—but are "pending".

Gina -- If you had used the Easy Group Transfer mechanism, they would not be "pending." But I understand why this might not work for you...for any number of reasons.

I've read ALL the help.

How do I approve them?? (Not one by one, I hope; there's almost 1000!)

Go to Admin>Members. If necessary (and it probably won't be), pull down the blue menu at upper left and select "Pending Approval."

Click the box to the left of the "Display Name" table heading to select everyone on the page. Scroll down to the "Actions" menu and select "Approve."

Repeat for each screen-full of pending subscriptions. If you want to increase the number per page, go to?/account?page=prefs?and change "Items Per Page" to 100.

Hope this helps,
Bruce

Can I uncheck the option to transfer members or at this point of waiting will it muck things up?

Susan -- Leave it alone. If those email addresses are already subscribed, their accounts will not be migrated, but their content still will.

If they have a display name, would that show up on a message board post and on an email instead?

If they have a Display Name, that will be shown in the online archives.? I believe it should also show on the emails received by your members, but it will also contain the email address of the person that sent it.

And apparently didn't read the message, nor the links.? There will be no file or photo storage (or any other kind), other than each members device.? If I were on that group, I'd sure get off before he starts sending tons of stuff via email.

Finally I get to see the (in)famous "Evolution of Yahoo Groups" email.? I haven't received it!? Other emails from Yahoo go to two addresses, but this one has gone to neither (not in Spam either).? Has anyone else missed it?

Hi folks,

YG group members transferred—but are "pending".

I've read ALL the help.

How do I approve them?? (Not one by one, I hope; there's almost 1000!)

Thank you!
