John,

From the FAQ I mentioned:

8. How do I check the transfer status?
?
Transfers are queued up when you first set it up and processed in that order until you get to Step 5.?
?
At that point they are re-ordered based on when the transfer go-ahead is given and uploaded to in that order (unless you pay $200 for priority service).
?
When you click on the green "Set Up New Transfer" button at bottom left of the Yahoo groups transfer page (/yahootransfer), a new page will come up where you can enter the source and destination group names.?
?
There is also a series of checkboxes for the various areas of the group to transfer (files, photos, members, messages, etc). Simply uncheck the ones you don't want before clicking the "Start New Transfer Process" button.
?
(a) If you've already started a transfer:
?
Go to the Yahoo transfer page at /yahootransfer
?
Select the transfer you want to check status on from "Existing Transfers" at lower right (i.e.: click on the name)
?
The box at the top of the resulting page will tell you the status of that transfer.
?
Repeat for any other transfers you may have in progress.
?
?- if the status is the message that starts "Make sure you have sent an invite to your group":
?
This means that Groups.io has not received your invite yet and that you should send another one. They will send you an email once they have received and accepted an invite. If this message hasn't been updated within 6 hours of you sending your invite, please send another one. This notice will be updated when they ?have received your invite.?
?
(b) For transfers that are actually approved and in progress, see where you are in the queue:
?
When you go to edit your transfer, if it's been submitted for transfer, you'll now see one of these 4 status lines:
?
Your group is awaiting export from Yahoo. [Step 1 of 4]
Your group is being exported from Yahoo right now. [Step 2 of 4]
Your group is awaiting import into Groups.io. There are about N groups ahead of it in the queue. [Step 3 of 4] **
Your group is being imported into Groups.io right now. [Step 4 of 4]
?
** Where N in Step 3 is an estimate as to where you are in the queue. i.e. Your group is about 70th in the queue right now.
?
Step 4 is the biggest bottleneck, as I can only import so many groups at a time without overloading the system. I can't give an estimate as to how long each group takes to be imported, because each group is different (how many photos, how many messages, etc). Also it's dependent on how many groups have requested expedited processing at the time.

Hello

There was a post by Mark that implied that groups with lots of members will have to be paid groups in future, but then things changed again. What is the latest on this issue?

I'd like to create a free group and invite the current 5000 or so members to the group. No doubt many of them will not join, but what if lots of them do join? Traffic on the list is about 50-100 messages per month.

Thank you, Bruce, for your quick reply.

I've checked about a half dozen accounts and none have received the welcome message. I made it active a week ago in preparation for the big transition.?

I will send it out manually. That isn't a big deal. The automated migration has been smooth and my members are already happily posting away on?.

Orest -- You can click on the column headers of any table to change sort order.

In messages/topics display, clicking on the Date link will do the same, jumping you to the beginning or end as needed.

John -- There is no longer a dropdown box at this location. It is now just a list of links, one for each transfer you have underway. As best I can tell, this was changed yesterday morning. Apparently, too many people were struggling to realize that they had to actually click in the box and select a group name.

If you have no list of links here...and it appears that you do not...then you don't have any transfers started. Please also consider that you could you be logged in with the wrong email address.

Thanks Bruce,
Sorry to bother you with this drivel.? I'll see what's up with the public viewing aspect of LA Producers.? I know that Groups.io site is still waiting for a transfer.? I'll get to the bottom of this and report back for educational purposes.

Bruce, one note.? The Group is "LA Producer".? I kept spelling it in plural with an "s".? Sorry for the confusion.? My mistake.

One question - is there a way to change the subject which appears when a message is rejected? It's a little harsh-sounding: "Your message was not approved",
The subject used to be: "Your message was rejected".
"Your message was not approved" is both factual and less harsh - this was the result of the suggestion that 'rejected' sounded too harsh.

especially if the message was a note to the moderators.
in this case I would also explain that it 'was a note to the moderators' and therefore not approved so that it would not be sent to all of the group members.
I would also explain that the best way to send a note to the moderators is by using the 'Group Owner' email address, by either:
-clicking on "Contact Group Owner" near the bottom of most email messages from the Groups
OR
-click on "Groups.io" in 'Groups.io links' near the bottom of most email messages from Groups.io
and click on "<their Group>" in the list of their Groups
and click on "Home" in the left hand column
and scroll to near the bottom of their Group's Home page
e.g. for this group it says
Group Owner: [email protected]
OR
- add "+owner" (without quotes) before the "@" sign in their Group's posting email address
e.g. for this group change
[email protected]
to:
[email protected]


I would then try to answer their note, by having CC'd all Moderators (in the 'not approval notice',
and then Replying All to their quoted message.

Either they will understand that their more direct approach would have been to address the 'Group Owner' email address,
or they will find themselves repeating the above process, again and again, which they may be fine with, if they get their answer...


If not, has this been suggested before?
What alternative(s) did you have in mind?

Our transition from Yahoo happened about an hour ago. A "you've been added" notice was sent out, but my active welcome message was not.
I haven't heard anyone report this before.

Have you confirmed this with other group members, or just yourself? Have you looked for it in your spam/junk email folder? Have you checked your own Email Delivery History?

Any solution or reason for this?
If it really didn't go out, you can always send it manually. The easiest way is to just paste it into a group message and post it as a Special Notice.

If you want it to go out to the people on "No Email" too..

  1. Go to Admin>Members and click the checkbox to the left of the "Display Name" column header. This will select everyone on the page.?
  2. Pull down the Actions menu at the bottom of the page and select "Send Message."
  3. On the resulting page, pull down the Notices menu and select your Welcome message.?
  4. Click "Send to Members"
  5. Repeat for every pageful of members in your Member List
