The boxed message will not appear in your group(s). It's on the transfer status page.If you haven't logged in, do so (see?/static/help#password) Go to the transfer page at??/yahootransfer Scroll down to the very bottom. Look for the "in-process" box at lower right and click in it. A list of groups being transferred should appear. Select one of your groups.

Re: Help with my transfers over needed please.
Bonnie,
I think Hooty doesn't realize that changing the subject line on a reply starts a new thread/topic and can be confusing as you mentioned.? I'd suggest that the addition become the first line in the reply, not on the subject line.? In an effort to consolidate this topic, I've merged the threads.

Re: GROUP SETTINGS OPTION ¨C Automatic Post Removal After a Period of Time . . .
Yes, the beta group is the official suggestion box for the site.? I'm not sure how 'easy' it would be to do, but you might suggest that the options be done somewhat like the calendar events.? Those can be set to week/month/etc, then there's an option to select how many of those units.

Re: GROUP SETTINGS OPTION ¨C Automatic Post Removal After a Period of Time . . .
Duane,
Thanx... Your answers are always helpful and much appreciated. So . . . I just went and looked at the 'create hashtag' option over on our G.IO site and see all the time/duration options. That's a nice timesaver for our moderators. But it would be nice to see a two month option for the duration of posts. We feel that is a sensible amount of time for a member's ad wanting to sell or their house or their car, etc. to remain up. After that time it's most likely either sold (or not), rented (or no interest), or just plain stale, as ads go. And two months seems a more reasonable amount of time for a free ad with an exposure to so many members to remain in place before removal. And especially so for a large-ticket item like a member's house, car, or property. BTW, a Classified area could be useful for many groups but we eventually found a real need to restrict what had become an overwhelming number of commercial ads but we chose to continue to allow personal ads by our members. This seems to have work quite well for us. So, who would I make a suggestion to for a two-month option? To Beta? Or . . . ? Paul M. CRL Owner/Moderator == |

I'm not sure what you mean - will I be the OP in the archives/files etc., instead of the actual sender?The transfer agent normally moves the subscribers first. Then as each file/photo is moved, its ownership is compared to the people found in the GIO group's member's list. If no corresponding subscriber is found, ownership defaults to the group owner (you). This does not apply to the message archive. What this means for you:? If you want photo and file ownership to be retained in the transfer, you either have to let the transfer agent move them, or find some way to subscribe all the "active" subscribers to the GIO group ahead of time, using the same email addresses they are currently using in the Yahoo group.? My original advice (to just let the agent move everybody and remove the inactive people afterward) stands. I really think you'll have less of a mess to clean up that way.

Re: Transfer only messages & files
Hi Bruce,
Thank you for your reply as well - I realise that would be quicker and easier, but I'd really much rather let sleeping dogs lie ;)
Kind regards,

Subject: Re: [GMF] Help with my transfers over needed please. ? >>I re-sent invitations for IO (?[email protected]?)?to join again last night.At this time, it seems the longest wait in the process is for the transfer agent to accept your invitation. Go to the transfer page at?/yahootransfer?and select your group name from the "in-process" pull-down menu. Chances are, there's a boxed message at the top saying "We've received the invite to your group and will accept it soon. There is no need to send another invite."?If so, I suggest you heed that message and wait your turn in the queue. Once you get the "ready" message (it will arrive to [email protected]), make the agent a Moderator and return to this page to actually get things going (Steps 3 and 4), the transfer should proceed within 24-48 hours.

Re: Transfer only messages & files
My recommendation is to transfer the group and weed out the non-participants afterward. The transfer itself will do a lot of it for you.

Re: GROUP SETTINGS OPTION ¨C Automatic Post Removal After a Period of Time . . .
On my groups, I created a hashtag of #ForSale for just this purpose.? At the end of One Month, the thread is deleted.? Some folks forget to include it on the Subject line, but it's not too much trouble for me to add it when I notice that it's needed.? You also have options of One Hour, One Day, One Week, One Year, or Forever.
There has been discussion on the beta group about possibly having a Classified area (as a new side bar menu item) available on groups as an option.? If that happens, I hope it will offer options to cover most situations.

GROUP SETTINGS OPTION ¨C Automatic Post Removal After a Period of Time . . .
Since I have not seen this addressed on here I searched but culd not discover whether there is any setting anywhere with which to flag a member's post so that it is removed or hidden after so many days or months, etc., (including any attached photos)?
Under: Admin > Settings > Message Policies > Reply To . . . ¨Ctwo of the options are: ~ Automatically Moderate Topics Older than. . . AND ~ Automatically Lock Topics Older than . . . BUT . . . In the past on one of our old groups we asked our members to remove their old ad posts if the item had been sold or if they posted an updated ad, but there was never much compliance with taking down the older ads. So we would wind up going in periodically and removing those ad posts older than several months. It would free up space and unclutter searching if old posts of this sort were automatically removed ¨Csay, after about 3 months¨C which seems a fair amount of time to leave a free ad post in place. And we woud no longer have to rely on the members to remove their old ad posts. Or would an automatic post removal option be at all possible maybe by using a hashtag that a moderator could apply to a post which would then remove the post after a certain amount of time? Just pondering here . . . TIA Paul M. CRL Moderator == |

Re: Transfer only messages & files
You can certainly do that.? BUT, by default, none of the information will be 'owned' by the original poster, it will all be owned by you.? If they've joined the new group using the same email as they had on YG!, it should tie them together.
