I have 3 pretty important Yahoo groups that are in the Transfer que at aroung # 360 or so... in the meantime I think I am gonna go ahead and have my entire YH memberships make the manual migration over to GIO.
I did find the page where I can check the Que Status of my transfer,?/edittransfer?csrf=1406299935057669650&transfer=6735? but... 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. 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? I understand the Delay and Overwhelm.. but Not Replying GOT IT to an important SUPPORT HELP email causes one sleepless nights.? I will send it again.but.. how do I know Groups.IO got my urgent Support note.? Or how do I fit the Mis-Mapped Groups transfer request.?? |
Re: yahoo
Yahoo will be left with the defunct groups with no living owner and bouncing members, but also the groups that function fine with email-only....Until Yahoo kills those! On Mon, Oct 28, 2019 at 12:29 PM Shadow Grafix <shadowgrafix@...> wrote:

¿ªÔÆÌåÓýI'd be interested in knowing how many groups are making the transfer from Yahoo to Groups.io.? I wonder if the current yahoo owners have realized that they've made a huge mistake?? I suspect when it's all said and done, there will be a huge number of groups gone to groups.io.

I found the process to be pretty smooth after the invite to join the group was accepted. I bet things are pretty slammed with Yahoo's recent announcement declaring an end date for their groups. FWIW all my members transferred over without me having to invite anyone. They got an email and had a change to decline membership and some did. But it seems everyone came over and is able to post seamlessly. I am getting some process questions but it seems straightforward. On a positive note, it appears that many of my members are now actually going to the group site to look around. I think we had far fewer members doing that at the Yahoo group. My community has people of widely varying computer skills so this is a good outcome for me.

Or you can highlight the text you want to quote with your mouse before clicking on "Reply" (as I have done here). When replying by email, this depends entirely on what the subscriber has set up in his email client. Groups.io has no control over that. I have explained and shared screenshots of how to access the group home page and the threads. I was wondering if this feature was something we could change if desired. So can we change a setting to show entire threads if wanted?The default quoting behavior of the online message editor is not a customizeable feature. Regards, Bruce |

Transferring recent messages which missed the automatic move window.
Messages which were posted on my Yahoo Group after the automatic move download process from Yahoo began but before the upload process to the new group completed, at which point I halted posting to the Yahoo Group and enabled posting to the Groups.IO group are in limbo one might say.? 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? Ron |

I have paid $330. for Groups.IO to transfer over 3 groups from Yahoo.? I was very fast on the request and got the new groups set up and transfers requested before 10/20.
Since some of the Yahoo functionality will start decreasing today, Oct 28, there is an urgency to know when the new Groups.IO will get transfered over. I have done ALL I CAN as a moderator:? Set up new Groups.IO here for my 3 groups, invited [email protected]?to be moderators of my 3 groups.? I have Given the GO AHEAD to make the transfer. One of my groups is 3300 members and they are chomping at the bit to start on this new platform.? Question: #1 - Should I go ahead and INVITE all my current Yahoo 3300 members to start joining the Groups.IO group? 2 - Why won't Groups.IO reply to my support email asking them this? 3 - When will Groups.IO get this transfer done?? ?(I cannot afford an extra $200 to expededite...) seems the $110 per group, before the 10/22 price change should have gotten this done by now.? ?Why don't they hire more help with all the extra money they ahve flowin inw now????
