Susan -- Thank you for the detailed description of your problem! Several people have recently reported that the status has been slow to update at this stage of the process. An email will eventually be sent to you, and the status will update (and the "Give Go Ahead to Transfer" button become active) at that time. Until it does, all you can do is wait (and keep checking periodically).? Hope this helps, Bruce |

Re: Detailed Instructions on How to Conduct a Yahoo Transfer
Hi. I got notification from Yahoo [email protected] is now a member, but it sounds like I need to wait until I receive notice from Groups.io (step 14) before I [email protected] to moderator. Is this correct or should I promote them now since Yahoo recognizes them as a member?

Step 5 - no green "Give Go Ahead to Transfer" button.
#transfer
Okay so last night I got the email that the invitation had been accepted. I went back to Yahoo and made groups.io a moderator. In Yahoo I see the little crown so all appears to be fine there. ? I came back to groups.io and went to instructions that said, "Once again, pull down the Existing Transfers 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. " I? can do the pull-down menu, choose my group, but on the resulting page I DO NO have the green "Give Go Ahead to Transfer" button. " At the top of the page I still show the message "We've received the invite to your group and will accept it soon. There is no need to send another invite." At the bottom of the page there is a blue "update transfer" button, a delete button, and an expedite button. ? Please advise. I tried last night before bed and again this morning, making sure to refresh pages. ? Thank you. ? |

Re: HTML links with thumbnail preview?

Joel -- Ah, a fellow stargazer! And only one state over, too.
A clickable image is a construct often abused by spammers. You could try to send this to the group via email instead of using the online message editor. I've occasionally seen emails get forwarded with things that the editor strips. No guarantees. Good luck, Bruce Bowman, |

Re: after almost 24 hours, [email protected] isn't a member of my Yahoo group
Rhoda, don't forget that you can check the status of the transfer.
From the FAQ -?/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/FAQ-on-Moving-from-Yahoo-Groups 11. How do I check the transfer status?
?
Tansfer requests are sorted by when the go ahead is given to transfer the group.
When you click on the green "Set Up New Transfer" button at bottom left of the Yahoo groups transfer page (/yahootransfer), a new page will come up where you can enter the source and destination group names.?
?
There is also a series of checkboxes for the various areas of the group to transfer (files, photos, members, messages, etc). Simply uncheck the ones you don't want before clicking the "Start New Transfer Process" button.
?
If you've already started a transfer, return to the Yahoo groups transfer page (/yahootransfer), select the transfer you've already started from the "Existing Transfers" list (pull down the menu and click on its name). On the resulting page you will see the same series of checkboxes. Uncheck the ones you don't want and then click the "Update Transfer" button. Actual transfer status for any ongoing transfer can be found in the status box at the top of the page.
?

I tried to day to import a CSV file table into my database section but failed. I followed the instructions but not happened, it did not import. The CSV file contains a few hyperlinks to external web pages that I own.Peter -- You can't create a table by importing a CSV. Groups.io has to first know what data type each column is. Create the database table first, taking care to include all columns, and make sure to get all the data types right. If everything is set up correctly you can then import the CSV using the "import rows" function. Hope this helps, Bruce |
