TIA for your help. We have gone through the transfer and gotten to step 3. There are 609 ahead of us. I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on what kind of time frame that means? I know Groups is doing a fantastic job handling this huge influx and I am definitely not here to complain. I'm just looking for clarification - does 610 mean a week, a month? Longer? We are a non-profit and are trying to decide if we should pay the extra fee or not. Ty

Yes - thanks Chris - that was exactly the problem. I realised about 20 seconds after I posted this!!

Thanks!

I did block posts to Yahoo, but only after it was clear that the transfer had taken place, which was about 4 days later.? So I did not want to block the Yahoo site as I didn't know in advance it would take as long as it did.? So what I am looking for is some way for me to somehow transfer the unmoved 13 messages.?

Perhaps it is not possible.

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?

I can now answer my own question for the benefit of thers in the same situation. I paid the $200 to expedite the transfer of our main group and the transfer completed in just a few minutes. (The group was already in the last queue "awaiting import into Groups.io.)? The subgroups maintained their places in the queue, with 500 to 600 groups ahead of them in line. I submitted this question to [email protected] and Mark Fletcher responded, confirming that "The expedite fee only applies to a single transfer."

I think the confusion here is that what you're calling "silly narrow
columns" is in fact exactly what the rest of us are calling normal.

No, I think it stems from the difference between "full digest" and "plain digest", and it's not very obvious how to switch between them.
Apparently you have to go to "your subscriptions", tick the box for the group and then "select action"

Tomorrow I will see whether I succeeded...

the Mapping is not correct.. it has one of my Yahoo goups Mapped to Transfer to the WRONG new Groups IO group.? ? ?the Toggle for "WHich Group to Transfer to" is greyed out or dead.

Dale -- Correct...this field cannot be changed once you've given the go-ahead.

I sent [email protected]? email mentioining that 2 of my 3 group transfers are MIS-MAPPED... but NO REPLY From Support.. I just need to know IF SUPPORT GOT MY EMAIL?

The best course of action is unclear, as I can't recall anyone reporting this problem before.

You could try waiting until the transfers are done and then rename the groups. But that carries its own issues, see?/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Renaming-a-Group? ?

And you can't just swap group names because names are frozen for a period of time before they can be reused...so you'd have to come up with new names.?

If you review the information on the referenced wiki page and the renaming option looks too problematical, I believe your only remaining option is to cancel the two affected transfers and start over from square one. Go back to the status page and look for a red button to that effect.

Good luck,
Bruce

I need to place select members on moderation

Go to the Members list (Admin > Members), then select each members record, change their Posting Privileges to Override: Moderated, and click Save at the bottom.? If they're all on the same page in the Members list, use the checkbox next to their line, scroll to the bottom to the Actions box, select Change Moderation, select Override: Moderated form the list, and click Change at the bottom of the popup window.? It might be easier to use the second method, but it needs to be repeated for each page in the Members list. (Selections don't carry over when you change pages.)

You'll need to join the group with the email address you want to use (which will create a new GIO account if it doesn't have one.)? If you don't want the existing address on that group at all:? Change the new email address to Owner.? Make sure everything works.? Delete your current subscription.

I think it is possible to cancel (or delete) a transfer before it
takes place. I don't know the details of the process, but I've seen
other messages from people talking about stopping their transfer and
then starting again. So you could cancel the transfer with the
incorrect settings and then start another transfer with the correct
information. There may be other ways to deal with this issue, but that
is one option that you might consider.

I need to place select members on moderation because they accidentally ended up on the group without approval during the transfer process (mea culpa for having the settings incorrect), and I need to interview them first.? How can I put their message posting on moderation?

Yes, has been done many times.

So for our group to be publicly seen in groups.io BUT our messages and archives to be viewable by members only, the correct option during transfer is "group listed in directory, private messages"?

Yes.? The reason for the warning is that once the messages are made private, the can't be reverted to public.

Only you can answer that surely?

Hello,

I am a member of the Libertarian Party Historical Preservation Committee. Several Libertarian Party-related groups on Yahoo Groups are in danger of being erased forever. When I saw? Groups.io was transferring Yahoo Groups, I was excited.?

My question is, can we transfer multiple Yahoo Groups as subgroups (within one premium Groups.io) for purposes of archiving? We also want to be able to easily backup the messages. Some of these groups are inactive, but they are valuable for the organization's history.

I am less concerned with the files, which can easily be downloaded and preserved manually. My main concern is the messages.

Thanks for any help!

but Not Replying GOT IT to an important SUPPORT HELP email causes one sleepless nights.

I have little doubt that emails are turning up at support@?? faster than anyone can read them, and until they have been read it is impossible for support to assess how "important" any given email might be. I would expect that Groups.io personnel would welcome the chance to get a good night's sleep in the middle of all this frantic activity to get Yahoo groups migrated.

I think we all have to cut support more than a little slack in the hope that everyone's needs (or perceived needs) are accommodated without Mark's or anyone else's health being adversely affected.
