Re: Transfer a second Yahoo group as a subgroup?
#transfer
The answer is in the wiki - FAQ on moving from Yahoo Groups.
Yes, you can transfer a second YG as a subgroup and it is included in your $220 fee you have paid. 4 (a) Can I transfer a Yahoo Group into a Subgroup?
?
Yes. Upgrading your Primary Group to the Premium Yearly plan covers your subgroups as well. No extra fee to transfer YG into subgroups.
?
Your subgroups will maintain their own place in the transfer queue.
?
Note: you can't create any subgroups until the primary group gets approved. For more info on subgroups, see Why use a Subgroup for more information about subgroups.?
And basically, you create a subgroup and make sure that you give the right destination for your YG. /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Subgroups ?
4 (b) Can I transfer more than one Yahoo Group into one Groups.io group?
?
Yes. The Premium Yearly plan allows multiple Yahoo Groups to be transferred to your Primary group and/or its subgroups. Be sure to transfer one at a time to avoid problems.
?
If you transfer more than one Yahoo Group into the same Primary or Subgroup the additional content appends to what's already been transferred. Any members already present in the Groups.io group will not be transferred again by later transfers.

deleting Hashtags from transferred Group
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýDear Group Managers, New group manager here, tranferred two groups in th epast week. Problem: Hashtags ¨C we never used them, but of course there were messages with ¡°#¡± in the text, so there is a short list of ¡°Hashtags¡± I would like to REMOVE. So far, all I have been able to do is ¡°Mute¡± them. Does anyone have a magic solution for clearing out the old hashtags? TIA for any received wisdom you can share. ? Going forward, since I have never used hashtags, are there advantages to using them? I think I understand that they provide a way to group messages by category across time & message subject line. I can see how that would be useful, but will have to educate my group memebrs about how to do it . . . For now I just need to remove the bogus ones. ? Daphne Williams |

Re: Email addresses with/without dots
Sandi,
Sorry for the delayed reply, another busy week at my real-world job has begun. So to me this it means she has one GIO account. It is under the nonIt does not imply anything about whether she has another account under the dotted address. In Groups.io different addresses are different accounts, and subscriptions, I wouldn't expect to find info about two different ones in a single membership record. Finding another subscription, under the dotted address, in your group's Members list would be ironclad evidence that she does have a second account under that address, but not finding one doesn't mean that she doesn't. If you can confirm this, I will inform her she needs to set up anI think only support could confirm this, by verifying whether the dotted address is already "in use" - attached to some other Groups.io account, either its own or as an Alias. Either situation would block her ability to add it as an Alias to her non-dotted account. But that doesn't mean she shouldn't try - it is probably the only way for her to find out whether it works. I know how busy Support is so unless it's of benefit to them, I see noAn email to [email protected] is exactly how you would make a bug report, so I'm not sure what distinction you were trying to make. And Mark is who would answer in any case. Posting on beta about this would be inappropriate without a suggested improvement, and I don't think we understand what happened well enough to formulate a suggestion on how to improve the system.

Re: Just curious
Although the advertised cutoff for uploads was October 28, Yahoo did not actually manage to bring it off at the deadline (surprise?). New messages are continuing to appear on the web as recently as November 26. They are downloadable by PGO4 as well, so I'm taking incremental backups while I work out a solution. Messages may continue to be stored at this time. We simply haven't had any activity in our group. Larry |

Re: Just curious
The details that every part of the service which involves storing users' content will be closed down. All message history will be removed, even digest mode for reading messages, as well as all files and photos and group home pages. All that will remain is a message reflector and a minimal system for managing subscribers to each list. ?- Mark |

As a matter of curiosity, where or when has Yahoo said they were "cutting off" service? All I recall is a notice that said on Dec 15th (or was it the 14th) that they would stop the uploading process for related files, photos and that kind of material.Actually, the cutoff for uploads was October 28.?

Re: YAHOO email addresses - recommendations ?

I suggest you advise them to create or change their updated subscription email address on your group before they veer away from Yahoo Mail. Otherwise you will have to deal with new subscriptions.? I just checked the longtime travel group (moved to Groups.io several years ago). Five are bouncing and of those, 4 are Yahoo email addresses. I think that people may have given up on their Yahoo addresses, except for stray subscriptions like this. So diehards who prefer Yahoo Mail I wouldn't worry about too much yet. It is those who actually don't check their Yahoo mail much anymore that you should target first.
