Deborah,

IIUC, the roles of YG members aren’t retained in the transfer.

Correct.

Since I belong to my YG, in the transfer I’d come over as a member on .io rather than group owner, ...

If the same email address is found in both places, that email address won't be copied during the transfer. So you wouldn't "come over" at all - you're already here.

Will I see myself listed twice, once as the owner and once as a
member? I’m having a ‘Does not compute’ conundrum.

Only if you have additional memberships in your Yahoo Group, under different email addresses than the one(s) you have here.

Shal

I believe that you're referring to the Message History on the group home page.? Those numbers will be updated, though it might take awhile with all that's going on.? Mark is trying to limit other loads while doing exports from Y and imports here.? Any messages transferred from YG will be added to the appropriate month and year.

As far as any of us know, you can't.? Check the status of your transfer ( /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/FAQ-on-Moving-from-Yahoo-Groups item 11).? If it doesn't say invitation received, you need to send it again.? There's a short delay between it being received and the notification updated.

I believe the Chrome browser will translate on the fly or can offer a Translate button.? As you noted, it's not the best, but it's sometimes better than nothing.

The number that Mark mentioned was 500 members (or more than 3 subgroups), so you should be safe even after he figures out exactly what he plans to do.

She then got the application form but ALSO got a "Thank you for joining " email.

That email was from groups.io, not your group.? She didn't have an account at the site before joining your group, so one was created when she applied.

Hi,
in my group the contributions will not be counted in the archive in October:
groups.io/g/siebenkatzenleben
Can I do anything myself?

?Thanks for your help, Beate

Hi,
I'm going through the process described to transfer a yahoo group.
I am ivecodaily4x4
I've paid the premium subscription.
I've sent an invite from yahoo, but not had a response. I tried again the next day, still no response.

Am I doing something wrong?
Cheers
Mark

Thanks, Shal! Something was going on with the e-mail receipt but it worked today and I've got the process now worked out so I can describe it to my members. Thanks so much for confirming that I was on the right track!

Linda

Dave D.,

Do email notifications go out to members when their profile has been
transferred, or only after the entire transfer process of the whole
group is complete?

It used to go out as each member copied, now they go out at completion.

My current status (unrelated to Mark's above). I think my export from Yahoo happened overnight (Sat26 into Sunday27).

Kathy,

Do you mean that you have two Groups.io groups and you wonder whether they are free? And will remain free?
If so, yes!
There was musing from Mark about making some changes, but he retracted that in Beta.

Whew!

It would take time and effort but you could use the WIKI pages in your IO Group to write tuturials in German, including screen shot captures of the screens with Germain language markups.?
It seems the most important things in English would be IO registration (email verification), accepting the group invitation and unsubscribing.?
If you membership is small enough, personally known to you or have friends/family to assist that may be doable.?
Once in your group, they can read the posts written in German.?
I had a lady from Italy join an "English language" IO group I am in last week. She introduced herself and said she was surprised to see IO in "Italian". I don't know what interface she was using, but obviously something translated our English into the Italian lanuague. Her post displayed in "broken (but highly readble) English" an obvious sign that she wrote her post in Italian while I read it in English.?

When I lived in Japan, I often used translation software while surfing. So there are a few options even for those you don't read English.?

I'm transferring a main group and a few subgroups from Yahoo! to Groups.io. All of them are now in process, although only the main group is far enough along to display where it is in the queue: "Your group is awaiting import into Groups.io. There are about 337 groups ahead of it in the queue. [Step 3 of 4]." That number goes up about as often as it goes down, due to people paying the $200 fee to expedite the transfer. I'm considering doing that myself.

The "Expedite for $200" option was not available when I started the transfers last week, but the button is now there for the subgroups as well as the main group. Has anyone who is transferring subgroups along with a main group successfully expedited the transfer(s) after the process is under way? If so, can you tell if the subgroups got the benefit of expediting the main group?

Our Yahoogroup has been glitching for some time including trying to add new members.? In order to transfer our files, databases and members, I need to make Groups.io join our Yayoogroup, then be made moderator for the data transfer.? I sent the e-vite mail over a week ago but Groups.io hasn't responded which probably means Yahoogroup did not let the invitation to join go through. The only way we've been able to make this work is by sending an email for the person to subscribe.

Who or where can I get Groups.io to go this route so we can transfer the data?? Thank you in advance!

Hi
I manage two groups and hope we are small enough to remain free.? One group has 85 people and the other is currently 20.

If I have not received any notices, are we able to continue as we have been?

Thank you for your help

You can also change the title on your group homepage.
We did that on a travel page.?
The name is ZINE: Travel Talk!
The email address is [email protected]

On the group homepage, it says: ?ZINE: Travel Talk! [email protected]

(The email address was created some years ago, thinking we would promote its position on the list!)

If your group is listed in the directory, the description there pulls from your group description you write. Part of it, not all.?Get the right keywords in!
