I'm also unsure that the automated photo resizing used by groups.io is capable of handling other formats, assuming you have that turned on in settings. Subscribers should really be encouraged to upload their photos in standard, web-friendly formats (e.g.: JPEG, GIF and PNG). Glad you were able to figure this out, and thanks for coming back to close the loop. Regards, Bruce |

Upload Photos Freezing
My previous message about me be unable to upload a small batch of photo images, while valid is misleading.
I found that 1 image within the batch of 4 had a .bmp suffix whereas the other 3 had .jpg suffix. Converting the .bmp image to a .jpg format fixed my problem.? I guess it would be useful to know what are the acceptable image suffixes and it it would be useful if a fault message identified the problem on screen, rather than just show a blank page. . |

I had a member join BEFORE the import. All of their messages imported correctly.... all the way back to 2003.
I would suggest moving your group while you are waiting. I would have but for the fact that we got imported before the big rush. The vanity join date WILL be affected, however. |
Re: Can I import an export from Yahoo Groups?

I was wondering, is there any mechanism to import this content into my already existing Groups.io group??Earl -- There is no function that will allow you to import your group from groups.io's own export, much less one from a different provider. You will have to upload all the content manually, as others who have foregone the Easy Group Transfer process have been doing.

To spend more $$$ we need more data on rate of que processing?
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýHiya, Thank you very much forworking so hard to help rescue so many of
us Yahoogroups refugees. A couple weeks back I signed up to save our two most important
groups and there were about 800 groups ahead of us in the que.
Today, there's a little under 400 people in front of us. So I
guess it will take a couple more weeks? The problem is when you go to check your status in the que it falsely claims it will take a "few days," which is not true! Is there any way Groups.io could create a primary Yahoogroups
transfer status update page that shows how many groups in the que
have been processed each day, as well as how many people are
currently waiting in the que, as well as notices regarding down
time, processing time estimates for people waiting in the que,
etc. ? Thanks, Deane |

My question to you as PGO user is: can one export the messages to an MBOX-like format??

The data for all the groups you belong to comes in one zip file (almost 1 GB for me), with sub-folders for each group, further divided into sub-folders for messages, files, photos, links etc.

The earth won't stop spinning if an existing Yahoo member is admitted in advance but it will upset the ownership details of their material imported into Groups.io Chris -- Do you have recent evidence that content ownership is truly lost if someone joins the GIO group early...despite using the correct Y!G email address? If that is true, Mark has stated that would be a bug in the transfer process (Ref:?), and it needs to be reported to him. |
Re: Subgroups and Premium
Fatty Cuts,
Yes. Even as relates to transfers, see FAQ item 4(a), but not in regard to the expedite fee. Shal -- Help: /static/help More Help: /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki Even More Help: Search button at the top of Messages list |

I think the monthly message was the same very month, and I assume it will be that way on groups.io.Unless it is edited between times then that is correct. Reading between the lines what you intend is that there should be a message sent every month with new material in it set up and sent by the new owner. Looking at the sample list of standard per group email addresses above (see Frances's post) which address do you think is the correct one? If it helps, cross - reference with your expiring Yahoo list of equivalents for a clue. Chris |

Re: Yahoogroups claims I have no data???
Here's a thought.? I requested the Yahoo download (via Yahoo) which told me my download request has been accepted.? While waiting to see if this will happen, it occurred to me that I don't think it asked which of the 8 groups I'm owner of I wish to download.? So will all the groups data come in together? or will it create an error message such as others have received?? Also, it could be that the Error message doesn't describe the error; it's just a default system error message. Ruth D

Re: Transfer from YahooGroups to Groups.Io
#transfer
Check the red status box on top of the transfer page. If it says to send the invite, do it again. One you do, keep that page up until they accept it.
I didn¡¯t realize that my sent invite was lost in space at some point, and lost of week waiting for it. Diane |
