The indexing job runs on a separate machine and sometimes lags behind, especially if there is a lot of server load (like when groups are being transferred). Bruce |

Bob, this is a moderated peer-to-peer group. I guess the other volunteer moderators are busy at this point. I just approved (moderated) your messages and I see inadvertently I approved a duplicate. You sent the same message twice - at 4:22 and at 4:25. This email about the delay was sent at 4:34 (All ET). I don't have an answer for you about the email address but is it possible it is spammy looking to the system? Hopefully someone will answer your query about the invite mechanism. /g/GroupManagersForum/message/24664 Frances ? -- FAQ on Moving from YahooGroups GMF Wiki: (unofficial) Help for members (and would-be members) and group managers |

I would request a download from Yahoo Groups - if it is possible. And perhaps check out other strategies for downloading like PG Offline. And then I would wait awhile. Get my group all ready for the import if YG becomes accessible again. I know that Yahoo Mail was down for part of a day on Monday or Tuesday. (I use Y mail to get web access to a Rogers email account.) But then was up and fine.?So... fingers crossed! From the FAQ in the wiki about transferring: (b) Moving message archive, photos, etc. yourself:
?
You can download content from Yahoo - see /g/GroupManagersForum/message/19430?
?
There are a few third-party solutions to do that, including PG OFFLINE, and a Chrome browser plugin
?
The problem is what to do with the message archive once downloaded; as there is really no good way to re-upload it to groups.io, to re-link individual messages to their owners, or to provide online message search capability. ?It's not the same as a transfer and loses "ownership", but Lena has a way to get the messages into the archive, /g/GroupManagersForum/message/22251?
?
An option is simply to print the collection of old messages to a PDF file; at which point you can upload that to the files area of your group. That will give you something, even if it isn't conveniently indexed and searchable.
