I have previously reported the same problem of no images being transferred.
There has been no acknowledgement of this problem by either GMF members or IO support.

Mick

The RCOS group.
The transfer shows complete, but none of the pictures got transferred.
The some of the pictures are in albums on the yahoo group, some are singles.
Many of thee are technical in nature.
If we lose these it will be a disaster.

Can someone help?

I have what is probably a silly question. ?My old Yahoo Group website address was?

Mick,

I do understand how to do transfers but in my latest transfer attempt
nothing has happened. No transfer has occurred and no status showing
on the IO transfer web page.

That's what makes me think you missed something.

The drop-list should have an entry for that Y!group which shows it as either in process or complete. If it doesn't then the question is whether you didn't actually start one, or whether you did, but while logged in with a different email address.

The Yahoo Group is still active and operating normally.

Of course.

The transfer agent only copies information; it makes no changes to the Yahoo group.

Hi Don,

The photos are in albums.

HI Shal,

I am not sure what you mean by conflict.

I have done a successful transfer previously.

The Yahoo Group is still active and operating normally.

Mick,

I have ... understand the transfer process.
On the IO transfer website page it does not show a transfer being processed.

Those two statements are in conflict. Does the Transfer page show the transfer as being completed?

Use the drop-list to select the Yahoo Group in question and check its status.

If you don't see it there, then you're most likely logged in using a different email address than the one which did the transfer.

I cannot get a response from IO support.

Ordinarily I'd say "Surprising", as [email protected] has a history of being very responsive. On the other hand, I have a request in relating to GMF which is five weeks old now with only the automated reply.

There are actually two separate activity limits.

The first is for use of the Yahoo Mail address. If you don't access the Yahoo Mail interface for more than a few months they may make the address inactive, after that point messages sent to that address will be rejected ("bounced"). I don't know if accessing your Yahoo Mail via a POP/IMAP client is sufficient to keep the address alive.

The second is a for use of your Yahoo Account. If you don't access anywhere on Yahoo (Groups, Mail, Sports, Finance, etc.) for more than a year they may delete the account and recycle (let someone new have) the user name. Before that point, if your Yahoo Mail address has been made inactive you can reactivate it simply by visiting the Yahoo Mail pages (while signed in under the corresponding Yahoo Account).

If it has been so long since your last sign in (to anywhere on Yahoo) that the account itself has been deleted then the account recovery procedures will probably not work. But it is worth a try, as they don't necessarily recycle the user name immediately on expiration of the account.

That still leaves the other path open, if you have a working email address subscribed to the group.

That was too pessimistic - there is another path.

If you still have access to any email address (Yahoo Mail or not) that is subscribed to the group then you can create a new Yahoo account, and connect your group membership(s) to the new account via that email address. All that is required is that you be able to receive and send messages from that email address, and that it be already in the group's Manage Members list.

There are some tricks involved in doing so, as Yahoo has changed some features of the account system and they have not updated Yahoo Groups to be fully compatible with the changes.

Were the photos stored attachments or pictures in photo albums? If they were
attachments, they will not transfer for some reason.

Don

I have successfully transferred a Yahoo Group to IO.
However everything came across except the photos.
I have tried a second transfer for photos only but no success.
I have an IO Premium Account and understand the transfer process.
I cannot get a response from IO support.
On the IO transfer website page it does not show a transfer being processed.

Well do u remember back in 2012 when yahoo had that huge hack, my email was hacked sadly, I’m helpless at this point, but thanks nonetheless?

Darius -- Like Shal, I suspect the account hacking had little to do with you losing access.

What email addresses are associated with your Yahoo account? Can you post an email to your Yahoo Mail account and receive it without bouncing? Yahoo has been deleting accounts due to inactivity lately, and we here in GMF have noticed quite a few of them beginning to bounce posts that are sent to them. If the only email address associated with your Yahoo account is a now-defunct Yahoo Mail one, that may be why you have lost access.

Looking at your group's Message History, there have been a total of two posts in the past 11 years, and none in the past seven. If that's not "inactivity," I don't know what is.

Good luck,
Bruce

D,

I've been struggling for he past 8 months on figuring out how I can
get photos, attachments from an old Yahoo group of mine, ...

For what it is worth, this is a topic more appropriate to GMF's sister group on Yahoo Groups:


You, or someone, will need to be signed in to Yahoo, using an account which holds a membership in your group, in order to access the Photos and other members-only content.

after the whole Yahoo hack, I couldn't get back on there, ...

Why not?

Many account credentials were exposed, but that didn't of itself cause anyone to lose access to their account. For that to happen someone would have had to go into the account and change its password. So far as I know there haven't been any reports of that happening.

Verizon / Yahoo doesn't support Y!Groups anymore, but they do still offer support for account-related problems, including recovering access to your account if you've forgotten your password.

Its still up, and I searched for it out of curiosity and found it! I
was ecstatic but I couldn't get in since its restricted and requires
approval to which on one has access.

If there are truly no members of the group who can log into their Yahoo account to access the group pages, then no one will have access to its Photos or other content.

If you cannot recover access to your Yahoo account (the one that was a owner/mod of the group), and there are no other owners or mods of the group who can, then you are likely out of luck.

Janet,

I've been working with her on an issue and had asked what she sees in
her email messages and she keeps swearing she's not using email but
getting access to all of her groups on groups.io THROUGH the Yahoo
Groups function. Does this make any sense?

No.

Maybe she's confusing her Yahoo Mail interface with Yahoo Groups. If she's only ever participated in Yahoo Groups by email, and uses her Yahoo Mail address for nothing but groups I can almost imagine this happening.

I'm just wondering if, since she has used the group manager stuff on
Yahoo and still gets emails that way, if there's something in the
messages going out from groups.io that is looking to yahoo like it's a
yahoo group?

Looking to Yahoo? No. I'm not even sure what that would mean.

Looking to her, maybe. An email message is an email message, but the footer of a Groups.io group message is distinct from that of a Yahoo Group.

If she could send you a screen shot of what she's seeing you'd probably be able to figure it out pretty quick.
