simple question, can you be a moderator on the yahoo groups to set up the migration? The owner added me as a moderator.

thanks

How can I sort the results of a search of a certain interest? I'd like to sort with newest first.

Debbie -- As you have discovered, you cannot search the groups list for keywords and use the tabs at left to further filter the resulting hits. The two functions are mutually exclusive.

This would be a good suggestion for improvement. The official "suggestion box" for groups.io is the beta group (). I wouldn't expect it to happen anytime soon, though.

I did click go ahead probably 3 times over the last few days. The transfer page shows that the group is not been even accepted but initially when you do it, it shows up but not now when you revisit the page.

?

The only thing is the Groupsio transfer member was install about 9 months ago into our group and has the moderator rights.

Chris -- I think it's unrealistic to expect the transfer queue to hold your invitation for that long of a time period. Depending on what the status of the transfer currently is, you may have to delete that subscription to your Yahoo group and send a new invitation.

What else can I do as I feel our model railway club has been suckered in!

In this message (/g/GroupManagersForum/message/19896) I gave you instructions on how to check your status and asked you to report back on what it says. Cutting and and pasting the words into a message will work, a screenshot would be even better.

Until you follow up on that recommendation, I will remain unable to help you.

"You" being who exactly? And what bit of the information you describe do you not see?

On the group in question if you look at Topics view (web UI obviously) at the top of the tabs on the left hand side there is a Home tab. To its immediate right (within the tab) there should be a white on blue "label" that tells you if you are an owner or a moderator.

What is there on your group? If it says Owner then you have billing permission by default; if it says Mod then you are indeed a moderator but may not have billing permissions; several permissions are individually settable per moderator.

That's unfortunate, for sure.

I can't delete the merged group and re-request a new set of transfers because it says the name won't be available for "a while". Do I ask GIO to delete all the data in that group and initiate those two transfers again?

You could always ask, but it might be quicker to delete the content yourself. Unfortunately, there is no function that deletes all content and leaves the group in place.

Or if you have deep pockets, open a third group on Premium Yearly and save this one for some other purpose.

Do I see if they still have to separate files that can be uploaded to each respective group?

Again, you can ask, but under the circumstances I doubt you will get a response.?

Do I put in a new request for the one to go to the correct new group (which is still empty)?

If that group is already set up and on the Premium Yearly plan, then yes...I would go ahead and get that started, and clean up the mess in the other one later.

Hope this helps,
Bruce

I've seen this since Friday. ?

When should I start worrying?

Margery -- There very first message in this same topic (/g/GroupManagersForum/message/19948) tells you how to do this.

I initiated 4 group transfers last night after I saw that the price would be changing today (it would be so helpful if there was a non-profit rate beyond the enterprise account, which I still don’t understand the difference).? I did not get a message that the invite was received nor did I receive receipts for the 4 charges.? I have done this before so I am fairly certain I did this correctly. That said, if the easy group transfer page shows that I do have 4 groups pending, how can I confirm the invites were received from yahoogroups since there is never anything at yahoogroups stating that the invitations were sent/received?

You have to be a group Owner, or a Moderator with the "Billing" privilege.

?I was supposed to be a co-owner/co-administrator but don't see the informatoin you describe and I can't figure out how to do the upgrade by 9AM pacific.

If you have the above privileges it will show on the left-side menu bar as Admin>Upgrade. Then click the "View/Change Plan" button on the resulting page.

Susan --?Yes, it's Dec 1.

I will pay the premium before we hit today’s deadline for the higher price if someone can respond in time.

There is a big red box at the very top of the transfer page (/yahootransfer) explaining this.

Linda J and other,

I think one of the problems people may be having is with the terms. In step
2, you start the transfer process. This tells groups.io that you are wanting
to do a transfer. Then you do the invite from Yahoo Groups. Then they join
the group on Yahoo. You promote them to moderator. The next step is 'Begin'
the transfer itself.

It is the terms, it sounds like the concept of start or begin are used twice
in the sequence. The first time you are 'starting the transfer process' but
the second time, step 6, you 'starting the transfer'. Subtle difference, but
I think many users are hanging up on the steps.

I have two groups on YG (many more, but two involved here). During the transfer request, apparently the destination was not changed. I'm fine admitting it may have been my mistake.

I caught this on the first transfer (from the one group to the wrong new one) and immediately replied to GIO support that there was a problem and requested that they not transfer the second one (and asked if they can move the first to the correct group). Well that message never got read before they transferred the second one and merged it.

Long question short... where do I go from here?

I can't delete the merged group and re-request a new set of transfers because it says the name won't be available for "a while". Do I ask GIO to delete all the data in that group and initiate those two transfers again? Do I see if they still have to separate files that can be uploaded to each respective group?

Do I put in a new request for the one to go to the correct new group (which is still empty)?

Right now I don't want to do anything without guidance, but I also don't want to lose the data because I waited too long.

What do I do?

I read here tonight in a message from Duane that I can pay for the upgrade to premium for a basic group and initiate the request for transfer at another time. Is there a deadline for requesting the transfer? Am I understanding this correctly? This is for a Yahoo group with an absentee owner (not for the group I was talking about in a message I just sent a few minutes ago). I have to beg Yahoo to make me a moderator in the absentee owner group before I can ask here for the transfer to happen. I have no idea what it will take to reach Yahoo by phone or if they will grant my request. So I may lose my money. But I at least want to try because there are old messages in there that are extremely valuable to the members and are important to move here if at all possible.

I will pay the premium before we hit today’s deadline for the higher price if someone can respond in time.

Thank you

The transfer agent has shown up in our group as a member. When I set the group up on , I did not include any subgroups. But I should have. We have a “sister” yahoo group that we created years ago, when Yahoo only gave a group 100mb of space. It holds only files and photos we could not fit in our main group.

I have tried for 2 days to get the Yahoo group transfer request started.
When I send the invite from My 18 year old Yahoo Group....Yahoo says [email protected]? IS NOT A VALID EMAIL ADDRESS?
I have tried over and over again with no success.? After paying the $100 fee ...I starting to worry this is a scam site....PLEASE HELP!? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ??[email protected]

[Mod Note: Be sure to send the invitation from the YAHOO GROUP]
