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.

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,

John

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.

Stay cool.

As soon as Step 2 is completed yahoo is out of the game. Then your group data is on the group.io servers, it is only a question of time till the data is imported.

You have to be patient. This is the status of the two groups I'm waiting for:

1.: Your group is awaiting import into Groups.io. There are about 714 groups ahead of it in the queue. [Step 3 of 4]

2.: Your group is being exported from Yahoo right now. [Step 2 of 4]

So, I'm a little bit nervous till the second group is also on step 3 of 4....

They fokus on exporting from yahoo, because nobody knows how long the yahoo server are rachable right now.

See Admin > Settings > (scroll down) > Message Formatting > Attachments. There is a drop down arrow at the right of the box that enables different settings for attachments, one of which is "Strip"... which is the same thing as "don't allow in the first place" when sending from the web UI.

Hi All,

Quick question - how do you verify HTML is working right, etc, when posting images via the website? I am a member of several groups, one of which I own, my preferences are all set to HTML and in the other groups I can see the attach image button on the HTML toolbar. On my own group that is not there and I cannot see any value in settings for the group that relates to disabling attachments for posts? I'm presuming there is a setting somewhere that impacts this that I have missed in my group's settings? Couldn't find anything on the help page or searching posts (other than making sure you had HTML option enabled for toolbar)



Many TIA,

John

Thanks.? I'm going to try and do this.? I do not want to transfer everything manually.

Robert,

When I place a mouse over the green crown is says that I'm an owner.

I forgot about that. Yes, that's one of the mistakes in the "Neo" re-design of 2013, they put the wrong tool-tip on the green crown.

Robert,

It turns out that the spouse of the deceased owner may be able to go
in and modify my privileges or at least make [email protected]
a moderator. In your opinion, is that all she would need to do?

Yes, either one. Or make you an owner.

The transfer agent does not need any privileges, so she can leave those checkboxes blank. The only thing needed is to change the Role setting to Moderator. Then scroll to the bottom to save the change.

Nope, not at all.

Checked it this minute again with Firefox on Android 9.1 .

Also no problems with the emails, I'm using BlueMail and K-9 Mail.

Susan,

No problems for me, using the native Gmail app. What sort of trouble is the member having?
