Re: What will you do with your Y! Groups?
Our groups are still up because pointers from other places out of our control send folks to the yahoo groups .. more people know about yahoo groups so if they sign up there we can still message them

What will you do with your Y! Groups?
This reminded me of a question I've been wondering about.? For those that move to Groups.io, what will you do with your Y! Groups?? When the neo fiasco happened, I immediately looked for a refuge.?

Re: in reviewing the transfer instructions
Watching yahoo groups blow up is reminiscent of watching the Deepwater Horizon blow up. I watched the movie last night. It starts small, with some warnings about pressure gauges. Some people ignore

Re: in reviewing the transfer instructions

Re: in reviewing the transfer instructions
ruthie, Yes, but groups.io is not your typical email provider. Again, no harm in trying it. I think an email to [email protected], including the name of your Yahoo Group, is about as good a plan B as

Re: in reviewing the transfer instructions
If yahoo invite is really not working, I'm sure you could persuade Mark to apply to your group To make it easier, you could make your group unrestricted temporarily, until he joins. Just an idea. J
