Glad you were able to get it to work.

First thing that was different is that as part of the credit card info, it also wanted my zip code. It accepted all this and never asked for my name or address! It had only an email address.

I think groups.io uses Stripe to collect payments. Not sure how that all works, or what info might it have been gleaned from your existing account information.

Shal, isn't it standard procedure when something goes wrong in the transfer process, to delete the transfer and start over?? And no extra charge?? I thought I'd read that happening here with other groups.

Thanks for your help, Duane.

Here's what happened (I think):

In the settings, I had specified that a notice NOT go to the Yahoogroup.

I didn't want to do that until I had prepared everything, learned how things work, etc.

So, almost 1000 are in but they don't know it.

QUESTION, PLEASE:? Do I just give them the link now, and they can participate?? Or must they register with groups.io?

?

thanks so much!??

Yes, all info entered, no extra stuff ;-)

I'm going to try with a different browser, where I don't have "NoScript" controls.

Internet is fine, tried it more than once, same problem.

Enter the credit card number in sequence, no hyphens or spaces.

Did you also?enter your expiry date and CVC number at the far right? You have to provide that, too.

Also, how does this process know who I am (name, address) for the credit processing? Or will I be prompted.

You will be prompted for that once you get past the initial card info screen.

If it still doesn't work, you might have to send us a screenshot (with any credit info redacted, of course).

Regards,
Bruce

Completely stuck here!

OK. Thanks for the information, Bruce and Duane.

When I first took over administration of "T-VOG" at yahoogroups.com about a year ago, there were 140 "bouncing" addresses. Nobody had ever paid any attention to the bounce reports. I put a lot of effort into recovering as many of those members as possible, and removed all the rest. I'm trying to run a tight ship, now that my list is pretty clean. I guess the occasional "soft bounce" from yahoo's servers are just a fact of life.

Works fine here. You *did* put the hashtag in the subject line, right?
Bruce

LOL, yep, I guess it does pay to read the instructions :)
I was putting it in the body.? I just tried it in the Subject, and it seems to have worked as expected.
Much thanks for walking me through this, and my apologies for missing that key step in the Help docs.

But, is there a way for non-moderator to Search the Directory?? That would be a lot more useful than having to scroll through pages and pages of members to find the person you are looking for.

The Directory has no search function, and you can't even invert the sort order. I agree that either or both would be handy.

Note also that the group Directory is an index of member profiles, NOT a complete member list.?If a member has not created a profile, or has chosen not to share it, their "profile" will appear to Moderators and Owners only. If you want every member to see every other member, you have to make the Member List visible to them via settings (Admin->Settings->Privacy->Members Visible).

See?/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Directory-and-Members-List?for further details.

Hello,
? I searched the archives and if this question is there, I overlooked it so my apologies.? But, is there a way for non-moderator to Search the Directory?? That would be a lot more useful than having to scroll through pages and pages of members to find the person you are looking for.

Thanks so much,

Hello All. We had been trying to invite the Transfer Agent [ transfer @ groups.io ] to our old Y!G group since October 20th without success.

We had floolowed the detailed steps and had our new Groups.io group set up and upgraded to Premium but nothing was happening with the Transfer Agent invites. It was getting frustrating.

Finally we canceled the transfer of our new IO group which was in progress but stuck and went back and lollowed the steps all over again and then re-invited the Transfer Agent. This time it worked and the TA invite was accepted and acknowledged by GIO and we received the Easy Transfer email from GIO. Shortly afterwards the TA showed up in the Member Roster of our old Ygroup and we were able to promote it to Moderator status.

After that we once again requested the group Transfer to begin and received a confirmation message that we were 'in the queue'. Now we can relax and wait for the transfer to be completed.

MORAL of this story for other YGroups owners who may also be somehow frustrated or stymied:
Be sure that you follow the steps provided for the transfer sequence exactly iN ORDER. We may have gotten out-of-sequence somehow with our initial attempts and so the transfer request was not proceeding. When we re-started the process and carefully followed the steps the transfer finally did start.

Cheers!

Ron -- Create a hashtag with the "no email" flag set, and add that hashtag to each such message. That will do what you want.
