Re: HOW TO CHECK TRANSFER STATUS (was: transfer problem)
Sadly my existing transfers box says I have no transfers in process.
?
I¡¯ve paid for my year of premium maintenance. I¡¯ve invited
[email protected] to my Yahoo group (several days ago).
?
Nada since.

Okay, let's try this again.
-
Go to the Yahoo transfer page at?/yahootransfer
-
Select the transfer you want to check status on from "Existing Transfers" at lower right (i.e.: pull down that menu and
click on the name)
-
The box at the top of the resulting page will tell you the status of that transfer.
-
Repeat for any other transfers you may have in progress.

Re: 24+ hours and no acceptance of Yahoo Group invitation to [email protected] from groups.io transfer agent
You are not alone.? Our situation is the same.? Only acknowledgement was Yahoo¡¯s subsequent screen that said our invitation was successfully sent.? Contrary to some other comments, the only status screen for invitations seems to be on the page, but that¡¯s for invitations to your new home, from your new home.? For us, we sort on the ¡°added¡± column in the membership list on Yahoo to see if [email protected] shows up.? We wait and wait.? Going into the third day, but it is over a weekend.

(In other words, I've not seen [email protected] join as a member of the Yahoo group.) According to the documentation, that invite should have gone out in a few hours. So I am stuck waiting. Please advise on what to do.
Thanks!

It seems pretty obvious to me that the text you have copied
in your message clearly does NOT state that there is a limit to
invites that can be sent at one time.
??
It clearly states that you've reached the limit that doesn't
need to be approved.?? I highlighted and italicized that below.
??
Invite 20 people in one day, no approval needed, 20 people
invited.
Invite 20 people every day for five days, no approval needed,
100 people invited total.
Invite 100 people in a day, approval needed, 100 people
invited total (after approval, which usually takes a few hours,
but right now things are taking longer)

Hi Lawrence,
I have had the same real KX3list@...?account for six years.? It still works to access and moderate the group.? Maybe I need to get yet another yahoo ID and give it moderator privileges?
Cheers,

To check on transfer progress here is what you do:
?
Select your group
Go to bottom of screen
?
Select Easy Group Transfer
Go to bottom of screen
?
Select Yahoo Group Instructions
Go to bottom of screen
?
You will find a box - Existing transfers
Your info would be there
?

[Moderator note: A little incomplete...the information will be there once you select one.]
I have the a similar issue. I invited [email protected] to my Yahoo group, but the invitation has not been accepted. If this is just a delay due to the volume of requests, I'm fine with that, but I worry that the invitation has not been received. Yahoo is such a mess.
You mention a status box I guess on the transfer page, but I don't know where to see that. Sorry for being a dumb newbie.

Good. Thanks for sharing with the others here in GMF.
Point is, the g.io search tool seems deficient.
That statement strikes me as a little harsh. Let's just say it isn't suitable for this particular application. Regards, Bruce

Hi Bruce,
Thanks for the reply. You're a good source of expertise and experience.
3. Has anybody come up with a way to map g.io message numbers to the original Y!G #s?
If anyone has done such a thing, it has not been reported since I've been here (approx 2 years).
OK, I've come up with something. It relies on doing a PB Offline download of the Yahoo Message Archive and that there have been no deletions in it since the transfer to g.io in the range of messages that were transferred. I export the downloaded group to a SQLite 3 db3 file (one could work directly on its main ygroups.db3 file but, if there other downloaded groups in it, things can be confusing. I open the exported db3 file with a SQLite manager such as the free SQLiteSpy and run this script:
SELECT id+1-(SELECT MIN(id) FROM group_message) AS NewID, number AS OldID FROM group_message
;
That gives me a cross-reference like this, resorted descending:
?
| 8776 |
8987 |
| 8775 |
8986 |
| 8774 |
8985 |
| 8773 |
8984 |
The NewID is the serial number assigned by PBO. My PBO d/l preceded the transfer by a few days and doing a manual binary search I can say that the NewID corresponds with that of g.io up to something between 1225 and 2500, above which there is a discrepancy of just 1. I'll have to redo a d/l and hope that nobody has been deleting stuff in the meantime.
The search engine is capable of handling string literals, so try "/thisstring" instead. No guarantees that this won't escape the t.
Searching on "/conversations/" brings up results for "conversations" and only one "/conversations/" Searching on " groupname/conversations/" returns one result which is a link I am looking to correct. However, a SQLite query of the PBO database returns 7 hits.
SELECT number as OldID, TRIM(content) FROM group_message
WHERE content LIKE '%/conversations/%'
;
I'm sure there are more hyperlinks to messages in the messages in which some word other than "conversations" was used in the path. I suspect that might have been a change with Neo.
Point is, the g.io search tool seems deficient.

gotcha. thanks.
forgive me (it's a monday :)? but i take it "Mail will be queued during the downtime and will be sent when we are back on-line" means no email correspondence between members during this time?
thanks,

Re: HOW TO CHECK TRANSFER STATUS (was: transfer problem)
Bruce,
Sometime between I emailed and now, they have started the transfer. Seems patience is required.
Thanks for your advice.

I have one member of a group that has a "." in the first part of his email address.? Both times I have tried to add him, Groups.io seems to remove the ".".? Since this is not his email address, he is getting error messages.? Help for this?
G. Garoon
Glenn, I tested this adding an email address with a dot in it by using the Invite method and it works as expected. Did you use a different method to add the user? If so, try the Invite process. In any case, a dot in an email address is generally ignored so that shouldn't have been the cause of him not getting emails. -- Gerald

No, there is not, with caveats.
If you just want the messages and be able to read them, you can find a third-party application and download all of the messages.? Then you can upload those messages as any number of files *which you will have to create* to groups.io.? You could save those messages from the third-party application as PDFs, or .txt files or word .doc files or whatever you want.? At that point they cease to be *email files*.
When you upload them to groups.io, they will not be searchable.? You will not be able to search for specific emails that include the words "brown dogs".? The new files that you have uploaded will show as belonging to you (or to whomever uploaded them).? You will not be able to continue those conversations/messages/emails as a thread.
If you want to transfer your messages from Y!G and have them remain as individual, searchable messages, you need to do the $110 premium group automated transfer.

Since you have the PG Offline download, what database entry line number is Y!G message #8391 on?

The best I can hope for is to capture the old messages, files and photos an place the in the Files and Photos sections of the new groups.io icom2kl group, but the members will not be transferred. There is a program "PGOffline" which will do this, but I have to buy the full version.
Cheers, Adam
Adam,
1) PGOffline has a 14-day free trial. You can download messages, files, photos, and attachments. It's fully functional, no pay-for features.
2) PGOffline has a rudimentary "Export to HTML" feature. If you have some web space, e.g., Google Drive, you can export the database to a series of HTML files and put that online. You can share publicly or with a limited audience.

I'll add that when the facebook integration *WAS* working, in my experience, it simply emailed every update that was made on a facebook PUBLIC page *TO* the groups.io group.? It was a one-way street.? Posts originally made on groups.io did not automatically show up on facebook.
Our group used it so lazy admins only had to post information on facebook, and not post a second time on groups.io.? Our groups.io group exists solely for the people who don't want to be stuck on facebook.

now the banner says this evening - Oct 21 (or Oct 22 depending on your time zone). does the date keep getting changed, or is this an additional round of maintenance? and does anyone know if it's just the website, or if email correspondence is also affected?
