Alan, you can see messages individually, not by topic, if you prefer. Also expanded.
Choose from the Topic menu at the top of the Messages.?
You can also toggle date to newest to oldest.

Not sure if this is a complete answer for you.?

In your own groups, you can also set threads to close after a specific length of time. In Admin, Message Policies:

FAQ on Moving from YahooGroups
GMF Wiki: (unofficial) Help for members (and would-be members) and group managers

My time is very limited. ?I feel that once I sit down to start a migration of a Yahoo Group to Groups.io that I probably must sit at the computer until my application is accepted and Groups.io takes over to perform the migration and I can leave my computer.

Please tell....how long does that time usually take? ?Is it just a matter of a few minutes, or might it take considerably longer.

Tks
Chuck, CABGx3

Observation: Messages seem to be listed by thread, in order of when the first message in the thread arrived.? So, if a thread began a month ago and someone sends a new message in that thread, when I log on to my group and look at messages, I have no clue that there was a new message in that thread.? I would have to open every thread and check to see whether any new message had arrived.? That is not practical.

Suggestion: Do what Google mail does: When a new message is added to a thread, mark the thread unread and sort the list by when the most recent message was added to each thread.

Cal,

Will transferring a group from yahoo maintain the hierarchical
structure of the folders in the Files section?

Yes.

As things stand he is reluctant to go down that road, however it emerged that he was sent a message from the "BT Community" on 7th October that read as follows:

If you want your group to be found by potential members, it is best to be listed in the directory.?

If you think that you will use invitation only (or direct add if you have Premium or Enterprise) you could not list it in the directory.
That is the case with some of mine - only for a committee.

J Forster,

I hope his actions don't interfere with the transfer when they get so
far.

They won't.

The only connection between the Yahoo Group and the destination Groups.io group is in the transfer setup. There's no requirement that the group names/addresses be the same or even similar in the two systems.

Ron,

Specifically messages 27276 through 27288 need to be moved to the new
group.

Is there are way to do this conveniently preserving the same details
for the automatically moved messages?

Back before things became so hectic you could delete the record of your completed transfer and start a new one, check marking only the sections with content yet to transfer. The transfer agent would fill in the gaps, skipping any entries already present.

This was generally intended for catching Files and Photos that had been skipped due to Yahoo Server issues, but I suspect it may work for messages as well.

I don't know if things will get any less hectic between now and the December cutoff, otherwise I'd suggest waiting.

Lately I have been able to download thousands of messages at full
speed then a 1 minute pause, and continued to download. Only once did
I get locked out of one of the several groups I was downloading, and I
was downloading in up to 6 separate sessions of PG Offline.

They opened up the bandwidth and made their controls less sensitive to
downloading thousands of messages very quickly.

Duane,

Apparently YG has a limit on the traffic for each group.

There's definitely a limit of traffic with each connection to Yahoo Groups. Which is why PG Offline and similar products need throttle controls to keep them from getting locked out.

I've never heard of a limit on traffic for a specific group (but that doesn't mean you're wrong!).

#yah00 #transfer
Actually there has been some progress from 491 to 477.? Although at this rate it will be over a month 'til the transfer completes? Ouch.

Easy Yahoo Group Transfer Setup

Skip,

As there is no existing transfer status I presume my invite either has
gone astray or has not been made; ...

If there's no status at all, not even the box instructing you to send the invitation, then you haven't initiated the transfer, and your invitation will be discarded. See the screen shot under "Start the Transfer Process" here:
/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Transfer-from-Yahoo-Groups

I suspect that the invite may have just evaporated into the ether...

An invitation I sent out from a Yahoo Group over the weekend took about 12 hours to arrive in my email inbox. So it may not have evaporated.

I had a similar issue.

A squatter registered the exact name of one of my Yahoo Groups on Groups.io in the apparent attempt to hijack the Group.
I contacted Support, but have yet to receive a reply. So, I successfully registered a varient of the original group name and announced it.
My new group now has many members. The hiujacker's has 2.

The hijacker does not have Moderator privileges on the original group, so can't transfer membership.

I hope his actions don't interfere with the transfer when they get so far.

=========================

I've gone ahead and add all our members to the new group.? Hopefully this won't interfere with the transfer.

If I saw the webpage saying my email address is registered, I'd try to use
the 'lost password' tool and see if it sends me the option to set a
password. If that happened and worked, then from his account on groups.io he
could find the group and register that way (I think).

Greetings,

Will transferring a group from yahoo maintain the hierarchical structure of the folders in the Files section?

Once you've started a transfer, there will always be some sort of status on the top line.? If there are no groups in the Existing Transfers drop down to select from, you haven't started one.

Skip,

If I’d known about this opportunity, I’d have made the switch long
before it cost anything, let alone the $220 I paid.

We made no secret of it in Y!GMF, but unfortunately it would only have been luck, word of mouth, or determined searching that would have led you there.

in any event, they are ceasing services in a month or so, ...

Not posting / receiving by email. That is supposed to continue. As will Y!GMF as long as it is able.

That said, posts to two different YGs I made a couple of days ago have
have not made it to those YGs...

Yup. Message throughput in Y!GMF has been getting progressively slower since the announcement. My mental image before the slowdown set in was of a field full of beehives, all disturbed by a sudden jolt, and all buzzing furiously. They're still trying to, this one still is.

I was 440 in queue yesterday.
Today I am 479

How can I be going in the wrong direction?

Phil -- It could be that a lot of group owners have paid the extra $200 for priority import.

Is there anything else I should be doing?

All I can suggest is to be patient.
