Re: trouble with transfer from yahoogroups
My bad, all. I was trying to invite [email protected] to my groups.io group, not my YahooGroup. It always helps to actually READ the instructions, not skim! ?

No longer do you initiate transfers by inviting the transfer user to join your group. Instead, you go to?/yahootransfer?and fill out a form, with your Yahoo Group, your Groups.io group and what you'd like to transfer. You can then track the progress of the transfer through the website." He says "no longer do you initiate transfers by inviting the transfer user to join your group" etc., but when you click on the link, it still instructs people to do that. I think this is creating some confusion. Possibly he posted the wrong link here? ? J |

Caroljoy,
Can you elaborate on that? What kind of errors? Just to check the "is it plugged in" box, you are using the Manage Invitations page in your Yahoo Group, right? ?
Does the In Process page for this transfer have any information about your status? You can use that page before Step 4 just to see where Groups.io thinks you are in the process. It won't tell you where you are in line, but I think it shows whether or not the invitation has been received and/or whether the transfer agent has joined your group.

J,

"CHANGE: More updates to the Yahoo Group transfer process after I learned that many groups do not accept -subscribe email requests."

trouble with transfer from yahoogroups
Can anyone offer a suggestion please?...I have set up our group on groups.io and planned on transferring over from YahooGroups using the easy transfer function. I have invited [email protected] to be a member, but get a message that this email address has errors. I can't seem to find any help for this. The instructions say that there could be a delay of several days, but it's been more than a week and it doesn't seem like the process is even getting to the point of [email protected] being a member of my group, let alone making them a moderator to make the transfer. Thanks for any and all help! ? Caroljoy (Cj) Spensley Friendship Quiltery Wheaton, Illinois Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/friendshipquiltery http://www.facebook.com/cjspensley |

Re: Tracking Pending Member and Welcome Messages
Bruce,
Is there any way to see if a Pending New Member message or a Welcome message has actually been sent to members asking to join a group? Maybe. If the Pending or Welcome message is listed in the (pending) member's Email Delivery History as the most recent Successful or Unsuccessful then you know its fate. But a subsequent message could supersede it there, Too, I discovered recently, it can take a while (between 1 and 24 hours, in the case I noticed) for the Pending notice to show up as Most Recent Successful Delivery. I don't know if that's just an updating issue in Groups.io or if it relates to some kind of time-out for delayed rejection by an email service.

Re: Questions on Transfer Form
Stan,
In the Wine example I gave the drop down list of groups has None of my transfers were into groups that had subgroups, so I don't know. I'd probably choose the second as it seems less ambiguous (all of the subgroups are part of , whereas Wine alone seems to uniquely designate the primary group by its name). In the list of group names you get by dropping the "Your Groups" list the indentation and the icons make it clearer. In that list choosing the entry is a synonym for choosing "Wine". ? Also, I'm confused about the sequence. The instructions say send the invite and then uncheck all moderation privilages, if desired. There's an implied "wait for the transfer agent to accept the invitation" in there. ?

Re: What's going on here?
Not to make an issue about these unimportant bits of trivia, but I think people's experiences with the # symbol are different depending on where they are from, and by the times they lived in.
