Hi Sarah... because we would lose our 18 year history of messages and would no longer have digest mode. Would really hate to be peppered with individual messages.

This is the shortest that will work reliably. (As you've found.)? When you don't use the /g/OurGroupName, the system can't be sure if it should go to main or a subgroup, so may do nothing.

I did a quick search.? The first group that I came across that was transferred is ? You can't see everything unless you join, but their messages are public, so you could look at some old ones to see how they look.? On the home page under Message History, click on any month before September 2014 (when groups.io started.)

I have created a group and subgroups.

When I created the subgroups, the original group (for all members) was renamed to add the word "main" to the URL and to the email address.

?

The URL became this:

https://main.groups.io/g/OurGroupName

?

Emails to post to the list would be addressed to:

[email protected]

?

I understand that this is supposed to happen, and that's fine.

?

The word "main" was confusing for my group.

Therefore, I changed the word "main" to the same word as the name of my group.

?

So now now the URL of the mail group is:

https://OurGroupName.groups.io/g/OurGroupName

?

and emails are sent to:

[email protected]

?

That is a bit odd, but it was better than the word "main" in our case.

?

Question:

Can I give out my URL as simply this:

https://OurGroupName.groups.io

(without the ending of ".io/g/main" or ".io/g/OurGroupName")?

?

?

I've tried that, and sometimes it automatically goes to the full URL.

Other times, it sits there stalling.

?

If that's supposed to work, I'd rather give out the short (truncated) form of the URL.

?

I want to see an example of how it looks when it is transferred from Yahoo. I am trying to preserve 20 years of history of communication for an organization.

I e-mailed a request to [email protected] to become a Moderator for our Yahoo Group after making the change.

I think I then checked all the boxes for the Yahoo features and hit the Submit button.

As a test, send an email to your new group name to see if it works.? Your original invitation was probably ignored if you didn't do things in the correct order.? You can go through the list of Detailed Instructions to verify everything, /g/GroupManagersForum/message/19673

I am a member of a number of Yahoo Groups that I am looking to transfer over here. Is there a good example to show how it looks? Thanks!

I can see the original post fine but, when typing a name in the search engine, older messages come up but not the most recent ones.? Is anyone else having this problem? (I've written to Support about it)

Yes, it's the indexing that's lagging.? Mark has said that it should catch up "eventually".? The indexing program doesn't have a high priority, so with all exports and imports going on it basically only runs overnight.? He also mentioned that the Search cluster had a problem, so that could be related.? A lot of growth in the last 10 days.

Hi Nancy

My only transferred group was moved several years ago, and there the search seems to be working. There is a toggle between date order (newest or oldest).

If you have just moved recently, it probably is because of the delay in indexing. I understand they are focussing on the transfers.

I quite agree, and have suggested it in beta. It hasn't been taken up (yet).



It probably needs its own Topic to get noticed. But I agree with Frances
and Mark that it should wait until the furor with Yahoo Groups dies down.

Good, this has been brought up before, but sure, all these enhancement issues can wait right now.

Why is this? Do I need to change a setting?

Steve -- To the best of my knowledge, if Files are enabled at all, any Moderator should be able to upload.

Gene - Any accounts that were already?in bouncing status at Yahoo are not transferred at all. These will be reflected in the transfer completion report sent to you by groups.io.

Subsequently, additional accounts will begin bouncing when the notifications that groups.io attempts to send to individual members come back undeliverable. It is quite normal to lose a substantial fraction of your group that way too; but what some folks fail to recognize that those people were actually lost a long time ago.

?Am I correct to assume that means that their emails were invalid?

Yes, or something along those lines. Check the Email Delivery History (click the corresponding button at the top of each member record) to find out what errors were returned. Any "500-level" error is usually considered "permanent."

If you want to chase down some of these accounts, you can always try to email them outside of groups.io or whatever to see if they're still around. See?/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Transfer-from-Yahoo-Groups#Y21group-after-the-transfer? My own experience suggests that your time is better spent elsewhere.?

Bruce

There was also some suggesting that this was a good time to prune deadwood!

The transfer of my group was completed today. ?A large number of the members "bounced." ?Am I correct to assume that means that their emails were invalid?

Hi Mark,

Sorry to be like a hammerdrill, but the experience shows that if only one person has a specific problem with a system, mostly the system is doing right...

You are absolut sure that you setup a transfer with the right yahoo group email address? Also you are sure that your premium membership is OK?

Please doublecheck twice.

If you are sure that everything was done the right way you can delete the transfer request and start over.

The first step is to initiate the transger at groups.io. Then the transfer page says to send the invite from yahoo. If you then send the invite to [email protected] from the yahoo group, the text on the transfer page should change to invite received after reloading of the page...

We had some people here at GMF that tried it with the wrong email address...

That's all what I can help you as being a also only a user :-)

All the best,

Isidro
