What is being used is an e-mail address; phone-number@tmomail.net. It works fine when it send mail directly, it doesn't work when I send a groups.io invite.

For some reason I got it to work.? I submitted the [email protected] several times and all I got was the error message above. ?

I just tried it again and yahoo let me add the [email protected].

I'm receiving the following message from Yahoo when I try to add you as a member.

• EMAIL/YAHOO ID
  STATUS
• [email protected]
  User does not want to be invited

Raven -- I can't speak to the error message. I will say that groups.io uses SMTP to send group messages, not SMS. It seems unlikely that anyone attempting to sign up with a texting-only address will have a satisfactory experience, even if they are successful.

Looks like T-Mobile doesn't like groups.io sender addresses. Is there a workaround?

A groups.io mobile app is under development. There has been no release date established, but with the continued Y!G influx it seems reasonable that will be pushed back.

The transfer requires the OWNER to make the groups.io trnafer member a moderator

No, it requires at least a moderator with the "Add, remove, and change moderator privileges" permission to do it.

The year of premium service is the transfer fee.? You can pay an additional $200 for priority service.

You'd need to contact [email protected] to ask that the month paid be applied to the annual fee.

I was in my hurry to get the Transfer done and I missed the "a moderator of your group." I wish it had said, "a moderator of your YahooGrooup."

Either way, I did that in YG, clicking the Green button, and now awaiting for it to happen.

Steve -- By "clicking the Green button," do you mean the "Give Go Ahead to Transfer" button back here in GIO?

Please refer to the instructions I gave you and be sure to do everything in order.

One thought: It seemed to make sense to give the YG "[email protected]" all permissions, except deleting the group. Agree???

That's not necessary. All the agent needs to be able to do is read the content, and simply making it a Moderator achieves that.

LOL -- yes, I was in my hurry to get the Transfer done and I missed the "a moderator of your group." I wish it had said, "a moderator of your YahooGrooup."

I upgraded to Yearly Premium which got me to the next step in the Transfer process, that is, making "[email protected]" a moderator on our list.

Steve -- Good. That's what you needed to do to proceed.

I tried adding "[email protected]" to the list, but (now obviously), I can't. So the process has stopped until GIO actually adds that address.

You're supposed to invite the transfer agent to your YAHOO GROUP. The agent cannot transfer content from Yahoo if you don't give it access to the data.

Please note that, at some point, you must also promote the transfer agent to be a Moderator of your Yahoo group. If you are not the Owner of the Yahoo group, you probably won't be able to do this. Find someone who can.

Or is there something more I need to do?

It sounds like you have completed Step 1. Please see?/g/GroupManagersForum/message/19673?for detailed instructions on how to proceed.

Bruce

I'm caught in a loop on the transfer process.

At the Easy Yahoo Group Transfer Setup page, I'm told: We have accepted the invite to your group. Before we can transfer your group, you must Premium Yearly. Once you've done that, return here and you will be able to give the go ahead to transfer.

I already made the payment and was charged $20.

When I get to the Available Plans payment page, it acknowledges that Premium Monthly Plan is already paid for by ghosting my "Current Plan."

No where do I see the green "Give Go Ahead To Transfer" button.

Any help greatly welcome.

I already paid $20 for a monthly Premium.

I'm been so entrenched in reading things about GIO, somewhere I think it said that the transfer fee is waived by virtue of paying for a year of the Premium Plan.

If true, is there any way to apply the $20 to the yearly fee -- or somehow get the $20 back?

Also, as I started the Transfer process, no where did it mention the Transfer Fee. How much is fee and where's it paid?

Any help greatly welcome.

Where is the toggle located?

Don -- First, you must have a Premium group. Second, you must have defined a database table with a column of type "address." If you have both of these things, and open the table, the toggles between map and list views will be at the top of the page (immediately to the right of "Edit Table Properties").

Note also that -- for some unknown reason -- map view defaults to maximum zoom. I have to hit the "zoom out" button twice before my house comes into view.

Hope this helps,
Bruce

Thanks @Chris I had missed that (although had edited it when I originally created the group ironically).

Thanks @Frances - yes I read that when I created group a few days ago but had forgotten to look it up again.

Many Thanks,

So it looks like this matches my experience, it will go round about 10 - 20 groups per day.

But I think the load will go higher as more as the final shutdown of yahoo comes closer.

My faster group is on position 714 today, if the speed stays constant this would mean 2 month to wait. That means the dead of the group at all. 2 month without communications from or to the group wouldn't let it survive.

Let's wait some more days, i think the groups.io team will take some measures to speed up the process.

And yes, now my second group finished step 2 it is now on position 841.

I'm impressed that the groups.io team was this responsive the last weeks that they would be able to withstand that amount of requests without biger outages.
