Eric -- For what it's worth, here is what I would do if I were you.

1. Leave your existing Members group as the primary group, and leave all the content that you've already transferred there alone.
2. Rename NAIAandNAIATrustMembers to NAIAandNAIATrust, using the instructions found at?/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Renaming-a-Group
3. Create a subgroup and call it Board. Its home page URL will be https://NAIAandNAIATrust.groups.io/g/Board. Emails can be sent to that group using Board(at)NAIAandNAIATrust.groups.io
4. Having created this subgroup, your primary group is now called main. It should show up as https://NAIAandNAIATrust.groups.io/g/main.
5. Rename your primary group from "main" to "Members." Its home page URL will now be https://NAIAandNAIATrust.groups.io/g/Members. Emails can be sent to that group using Members(at)NAIAandNAIATrust.groups.io
6. Transfer your other Yahoo Group into NAIAandNAIATrust.groups.io/g/Board

The only downside to doing it this way is that your board members will be automatically subscribed to the Members group when you do the second transfer (step #6 above). But as Shal said earlier, you can set their subscriptions to "No Email" in the main group if they don't want to be bothered with member chit-chat.

Hope this helps,
Bruce

How do I proceed?

I thought you had already been told how to proceed.

I have one group that has been converted. There is another one that has not been converted. Both use a variant of what would be the domain name so it will have to change.

The domain name for every group here is groups.io.

NAIAandNAIATrustMembers and NAIAandNAIATrustBoard would have a domain of NAIAandNAIATrust with Members and Board being the sub-domains. So, one needs to change its name and then become a sub and the other must start the entire conversion process.

NAIAandNAIATrust will be a subdomain, if you choose to rename the current group name to that. Members and Board will be subgroups, if you decide Members must be a subgroup.

As has been said several times, under normal circumstances you would simply use the primary group for your members and not have a separate Members subgroup. If you want Members to be a subgroup, the problem here is that you've already transferred all that content to the main/primary group. There is no way to move it to a subgroup now. You would instead have to transfer it again, followed by deleting all that content from the primary group. Are you sure you really want to do that?

Please let us know what you plan to do using the correct terminology and we will help you to get there. We will need you to confirm what your main group is currently called and whether you have set up any subgroups yet.

Paul,

Can’t connect securely to this page____

I'll concur with Samuel, I've no problem using Edge to log in to Groups.io using the emailed link. I tested that again just now.

I copied the link to Firefox and get an error message I’m not logged
in.

One's login is browser and device specific - it is stored in a browser cookie.

So being logged in with one browser won't carry over to another. If your browser is set to reject all cookies you won't be able to log in. If your browser or security software is set to delete cookies at the end of your session you'll have to log in again when you come back.

You can’t count on your old login info working in io groups.____

Of course not. Groups.io is an independent service, any login info (ID and password) one had at Yahoo is not going to work at Groups.io.

I can’t click on “View Existing Transfer Status”. I paid for premium, which the payment is on my VISA statement.? I guess I’ll send another invite.

Zelda -- If you go to the page at?/yahootransfer, and you don't have ANY links showing under the Existing Transfer Status, then you never initiated the transfer.?

See?/g/GroupManagersForum/message/23597?and begin again at Step 2.1. Repeatedly inviting the transfer agent (Step 3) will not accomplish anything until you've completed Step 2.

What's the best method for finding and merging a huge backlog of old messages??

As you saw, you can merge topics using the dropdown menu.?

But I don't know a faster way. Slow going.

Ideas, folks?

Sandie,

When attempting to do begin the transfer, my Groups.io group name did
not appear in the drop down menu.

That usually indicates that you are logged into Groups.io using an email address which is not listed as an owner of that group.

While signed in, go to the group's pages and look at the Home button at the top of the list of nav buttons on the left. If you are logged in as a moderator or owner of the group there will be a badge showing your role.

The two billing screenshots could have been taken by someone who is a moderator of the group with the Billing permission. But that is not sufficient for initiating a transfer to the group.

I guess you used the pull down menu in screenshot 1. Yes, I see you did.

You could try Advanced Preferences in Subscription. Just get the first message of every thread. Follow those that look interesting.

In quarantine or just dumped. If they've concluded it's spam, they could simply dump it.

It feels like [GMF} is getting at least 100 messages per day. My provider has rated it as spam a couple of times and notified Groups.io. Carrierzone could simply be dumping it.

I wonder if Groups.io should add a feature to automatically put everyone in digests when the message traffic gets this high.

It looks like everything is in order, so you need to send an email to [email protected]?to get this resolved.

Thanks for talking me through this far.

So, have you decided to change the name of your main group??
Here's how: ?/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Renaming-a-Group

So do that first - carefully, as the instructions say.

Since you have a group, you can create your subgroup after the name change.?
Easy to do.?/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Subgroups
Be careful with your settings.?

Then request your transfer. Free if your first group is a premium group.
Make sure you pick the RIGHT group to transfer into the subgroup. Not into the main group.?
(Others have made that mistake and it is hard to untangle.)

If someone is only in your Yahoo Group and not in you main Groups.io group, the person will be put in both.

Start and read all the instructions!

Frances

I'm sending this again as I got no answer and it seems to have gotten lost.

I paid for the premium pricing so that I could transfer my Yahoo Group to Groups.io. When attempting to do begin the transfer, my Groups.io group name did not appear in the drop down menu.

As I recall, carrierzone.com is an outfit that organizations hire to do spam filtering. You may have an account with carrierzone where your messages are being held in quarantine.
