The original owner named the group CADXA_SHARE1 . Would the underscore be a problem?

Hi Tom
?
Have you clicked the green button "Start a New Transfer" and entered name of Yahoo group followed by name of the new group, etc? That is the Step 1. Inviting [email protected] is the second step and must be done after Step 1. There is clearly worded note saying this. If you just send invites without going through Step 1 it will not work.? ?
Good luck and 73

Have you checked your Yahoogroup to see if the invitation was accepted? (check your member list)

Once the invite has been accepted, then you need to go to the Easy Yahoo Transfer page and start the process.

Here is the process. It is not automated and will take several days. Do not do anything out of order.
- Go here:?/
- At the bottom of the page, you'll find a link that says "Easy Group Transfer." Click it.
- Scroll to the bottom of the subsequent page and click on the big blue button labelled "Yahoo Group Instructions."
- Read the instructions carefully. Bookmark this page, too. You will come back here several times.
- Create your groups.io group and configure it according to your needs.?[NOTE: You will receive an email when your request for a group has been approved. This alone could take up to a day.] (You have now completed Step 0 of the instructions)
- To upgrade the group to the Premium plan, 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 $110). You can downgrade later.
- Once you have your groups.io group set up, return to the bookmarked page. Click on the big green button at the bottom that says "Set Up New Transfer."
- Enter the name of your Yahoo group and the name of your groups.io group. Do NOT enter any domain information (i.e.: leave off @yahoogroups.com or @yahoogroups.co.uk), just the group names.
- Click the big green "Start Group Transfer Process" button at the bottom of the page. (You have now completed Step 1 of the instructions)
- 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??(You have now completed Step 2 of the instructions)
- BE PATIENT. Accepting the invitation is the longest step in the process, and requires human intervention (solving a CAPTCHA).?You DID send the invitation from your Yahoo group, didn't you?
- BE EVEN MORE PATIENT. If you want to confirm status during this long wait, see /g/GroupManagersForum/message/8352?. There will be a status box at the top of the resulting page. If all is well, it should say something like: "We have received your invitation and will accept it soon. There is no need to send another invite." Note: Sending additional invitations in an attempt to hurry things up seems to have the opposite effect.?
- You will eventually receive an email stating that the Yahoo group invitation has been accepted. (You have now completed Step 3 of the instructions)
- Return to your YAHOO GROUP and log in. Promote "[email protected]" to a Moderator. Instructions for this can be found at?.
- Now return to the groups.io page that you bookmarked in #4 above. Pull down the 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 at bottom right. (You have now completed Step 4 of the instructions)
- 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?
- You may notice activity in your new groups.io group, which may reflect partial completion of the process. Do not obsess about this.?
- When the transfer is done, you will receive an email from the transfer agent 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.
- 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 --

It's always a good idea to read instructions first. That's why the button is at the bottom of the page. Bruce -- The system Help is your friend.?? /static/help

Correct. The ability to Direct Add someone without at least including a message and a link to immediately opt out is something that would get groups.io in trouble very quickly. ? Bruce -- The system Help is your friend.?? /static/help

Hi Martin
?
I trust you are trying to transfer Yahoo group and I hope you have followed the steps 0, 1 and 2 sequentially as given on the page? If you send the invite (step 2) before you completed the step 1 then your invite will not get recognized.?

Hi Sarah
?
Login to groups.io account and then go all the way to the bottom of the page (any page). Click "Easy Group Transfer" button. In the next page again go all the way to the bottom and click the "Yahoo Group Instructions" button. This opens the page listing the steps you need to take in the numbered sequence. At the bottom of this page you will see the "Start a New Transfer" button.?
?
Good luck

Hi Prasad,
I'm feeling really dense, but where is the "Start a New Transfer" button. I started a group, and the group page does not seem to have it. I started it yesterday, so if there's a waiting period that may be it, but there was nothing I saw to indicate that.

Multiple invites have no more effect than one invite, and only fill up the queue. Have you checked out the recent messages on the topic of Y! Group transfer in this group? Recently they have indicated the delay has been up to two weeks, due to a back log. How long have you been waiting?

Could anyone help me please by sending the support my email address?and telling them I can't get through.

The irony is that I could easily create this member myself and make them a moderator, but that would be no use if they don't know my group on Yahoo exists!

Sarah,
Maybe I’m misunderstanding the problem. It’s not a button. “Easy Group Transfer” is a link. Is that not what you’re looking for?
Randy T
[mod note: the link at the bottom of each page takes you to a page to select Yahoo or Google group, which takes you to the Yahoo Instructions page, which has the previously mentioned green button.]

I scroll down and get to the part with "About? ? ? ? ? ? Easy Group Transfer? ? ?Features? ? ? ?Pricing? ? ? ? ?Updates? ? ?Terms? ? ? ?Help? ? and the twitter bird", but still no button.

Sarah,
Took me a while to find it, too. Look for the link at the BOTTOM of every group page.

I just mailed [email protected] yesterday and got the message received acknowledgement. Are you sure you used the right address? If not sounds like there could be an issue with your isp.

Are you receiving emails from a Groups.io group but have never visited the Groups.io website? You probably don't have a password set up yet. Use the Email me a link to log in button above to log into the website.

Perhaps also emphasize Yahoo on this statement there:
We will accept the invite and then send you an email directing you to
make the [email protected] member a moderator *of your Yahoo group*.
