Re: where Transfer Process to groups.io
To see the status of your transfer - from the wiki -?/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/FAQ-on-Moving-from-Yahoo-Groups
11. How do I check the transfer status?
?
Transfers are queued up when you first set it up and processed in that order until you get to Step 5.?
?
At that point they are re-ordered based on when the transfer go-ahead is given and uploaded to groups.io in that order (unless you pay $200 for priority service).
?
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.

Re: Is there a need for two owners?
But the main reason for multiple owners is succession planning if the original is incapacitated.? - RobertS
? ?Pamela - N1ZKH - wrote 8:24pm???#20987??
Would be nice to have an option to add another owner, but ONLY if it was possible to give that person full rights, with the EXCEPTION of being able to remove or change the rights of the ORIGINAL person that created the group.? |

Re: Incompatible Payment Status
Hello Art,
I had a similar problem when attempting to pay Groups.io to Upgrade three IO basic on 10/21 before the 0900 PDT price increase on 10/22. I was able to pay for groups one and two of the three at $110 each but when I attempted to upgrade the third I got the 'card declined' message regardless of what card I used. My banks said both cards were in good order. After posting here and getting feedback from other members I again contacted [email protected] and Mark Fletcher replied in part: --- Begin Quoted Excerpt --- 'I've added you and your credit card ---- to an allowed
list. I don't know why Stripe was blocking you.' --- End Quoted Excerpt --- Upon receiving Marks message about the stripe.com allowed list/unblock I was immediately able to pay Groups.io to transfer my third group albeit at $220 instead of the $110 I could/should have been able to pay with my valid credit card(s) if for not the Groups.io wonky payment processor stripe.com . Mind you this was one of the same cards successfully used to pay for one of my other groups and was subsequently? inexplicably declined. After Mark worked his magic the card was good as gold. Stripe.com is likely who is blocking transactions such as mine and possibly yours due to their own obfuscated algorithm. You can read more about it here: Stripe.com has no apparent way for us to contact them, only 'their' customers like Groups.io can do that. I suspect faceless stripe.com algorithm took umbrage that I was trying to pay groups.io more than once the same amount with the same card in a short period of time and locked my cards on their own without contacting my banks. In my case, neither bank saw any block to a charge from Groups.io (or stripe.com) whatsoever, only the charges from Groups.io for group one on my first card and the charge from Groups.io for group two on my second card. They saw no rejection of any kind on either card when I was 'declined' when attempting to pay for my third group in the day/hours before the 10/22 0900 PDT price increase. Therefore I believe Stripe.com locked the card I used to pay for my first group when I tried to use it to pay for my second. When I tried to use the second card to pay for the second group to pay for the third it too was locked out. I tried to submit payment for my third group several times overnight 10/21 in to 10/22 using both cards right up until 0900 PDT 10/22 when the price for the third group automatically doubled from $110 to $220. I wrote Mark thanking him for 'unblocking' my card and stated that I was unhappy having to pay $220 when I was well within the window to pay $110 had it not been for my trying to pay for too many Group.io Premium upgrades using stripe.com ? As I already had two groups in the migration pipeline I asked Mark to use the 'extra' $110 of the $220 I paid on my third group due to the stripe.com debacle to help support his efforts to save our groups or buy some food for the kittys at his local animal shelter ^..^ I remain concerned that I now have all three groups in the migration channel two with a supposed $110 renewal and the third with a purported $220 renewal. However beyond my initial 'thank you' and follow-up e-mail commentary to Mark via [email protected] I think its best to I wait until the dust from the Yahoo Verizon mess settles before contacting him again. Perhaps one day Groups.io will offer us an alternative payment method to stripe.com. I realize that Mark doesn't?? participate on the GMF group and only hope this message helps others understand their own IO payment issues. Please remember what Yahoo/Verizon has put us through when you are offered any Verizon brand product. Thanks for reading,

I anticipated something might go wrong but this is ridiculous! Chase Bank says the transaction was approved and the Groups.io upgrade page says "Card Declined"! CB says it's not our problem, call the merchant! Yeah, right! Now what do I do I went to the upgrade page, chose the $220 option and entered my card info. Card declined! Tried again. Same thing. Called CB fraud dept (as this is a common problem with CB and web purchases). While online to CB, cleared cache, restarted Groups.io session & tried third time. CB says transaction authorized but no amount specified. Groups.io page says "CARD DECLINED" !!! CB says I cannot cancel, there is no time limit for Groups.io to submit an amount and Groups.io says "NO REFUNDS"! Since it is Saturday, nothing will be posted to my CB account until Monday. And time is running out. What in hell do I do now ??? Art Namaste',? Art |

Re: Is there a need for two owners?
There are pros and cons for more than one. I see it all; the time in yahoo groups. PROS-The owner leaves ,dies,is hospitalized for a length of time? whatever and who is left? A moderator that cannot do much of anything .This is happening in 2 groups I am a member of . No Owner and mod cant do much of anything another group owner died and no one is moderator ?It is best to have at least one more owner that has all the tools you have . BUT there has to be a trust . And a moderator .? CONS- they take your group from you?
