Walter -- As the notice states, someone else has already initiated a transfer for that Yahoo group. Each Yahoo group can only one active transfer at a time. This interfering transfer could have been done a long time ago, perhaps by another member of the group who later discovered he couldn't proceed....or maybe you yourself have accidentally set up duplicate transfers. You need to figure out who did that and have them delete their incomplete transfer so yours can proceed. Bruce |

Re: Who can initiate a transfer from YahooGroups?
#transfer
Katie,
Is it only a group owner that can do this, and not a moderator?Correct. One must be an owner of the Groups.io group to set up and run the transfer. I just paid the premium membership fee prior to starting the transfer,I think that part is ok. That is, I don't think the person doing the transfer has to be the same person who upgraded the group. Please advise.You'll want to as the Groups.io group owner to (temporarily) promote you to Owner role, or have that person nominate someone who is an owner to run the transfer. On the Yahoo side it doesn't matter who invites and promotes the transfer agent, but someone needs to be either an Owner of the Yahoo Group or a Moderator with sufficient Privileges. The important privilege is the ability to "Add, remove, and change moderator privileges" - that's the one needed to promote the transfer agent.

"That Yahoo Group is already a part of another transfer"
I know you guys are really busy right now, but?I am hoping you can help me with this one.

We created the group
We paid the $220.00 to upgrade to a premium account.
?
When we went to set up to transfer the boxfordlathe-usergroup@...?group over we received a notice "That Yahoo Group is already a part of another transfer" What do we do about this as we do not see any members as [email protected] yet. ? Thanks Walter Townsend, TTDr ? ? |

The screenshot below will illustrate.? On the Easy Yahoo Group Transfer Group page, under Groups.Io Group, the group I want to transfer the YahooGroup into does not show up when I click in that box.

Re: Finding [email protected] in my members
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýHi,
?
Do these steps:
?
After you log in, click on ¡°management¡±
?
?
Then click on ¡°manage members¡±
?
Then click on ¡°joined¡¯
?
?
At the point at which your screen looks effectively like
the below (showing the join date for [email protected]) you have succeeded in
getting in the queue.
?
Once that happens, change the status of that identity to
¡°moderator¡± by clicking on the member name at the left.? That will bring up
a screen like this, but before moderator status awarded:
?
At that point, groups.io can suck down the data needed to
get you going on groups.io.? There¡¯s a long line that you can cut in on by
paying the extra $200...
?
Hope that helped.
?

?
Skip, in the queue, finally...

Subject: [GMF] Finding [email protected] in my
members ?
I finally received email that they've accepted my invite to
transfer my yahoogroup -
?
But when I go to search for them as a member in my members list, nothing
comes up.? Is there an easier way to find them?? Or does it take some
more time before they actually show up in my members list?
?
Thanks for any heads up you can give. It's been a stressful week!

++++++++++++++++++++Hello,
By inviting [email protected] to join your group Quiltville@..., you have taken the first step towards transfering your group to Groups.io. IMPORTANT: Yahoo Groups has been very unreliable lately. We will do our very best, but there is a good chance that we may not be able to transfer all of your messages, photos or files. We will tell you which ones we were not able to transfer. Also, the migration queue is several days long at this point. Please be patient as we work through the backlog of tranfer requests. Here is what you need to do next:
If you have any questions, please contact [email protected]. Cheers, ?

Re: Who can initiate a transfer from YahooGroups?

Katie, you said "when I try to proceed, the group is not showing up as a choice for groups.io"
Not sure what you mean. Do you mean that you don't see it in the list of public accessible groups? Perhaps your group opted not to. If I have missed the mark, ask again. About who can do the transfer - it is only the YG owner or a moderator with the right status -? MPORTANT!! While any owner of the group@ may initiate a transfer, only that owner will be able to manage it to completion. Other group owners will not have access to the transfer status via the Existing Transfers list. If you have owner role in the group by way of more than one log in address you can manage the transfer only via one of them.
?
ALSO IMPORTANT!! ?At Steps 2 and 3 of the process, someone must invite the transfer agent to your Y!group and promote it to Moderator. This does not need to be the same person who initiated and manages the transfer from the Groups.io side, but this person must be either the Owner of the Yahoo group, or a Moderator with invite and promote privileges. If you don't have this capability, and are not working with someone who does, work on getting these privileges now. Otherwise, the transfer cannot proceed.

Re: How do I find the status of my Yahoo Group transfer?
Hi
Your subject line and question in your email don't match - at least I don't think so! You asked:?When I authorized the transfer of my Yahoo Group to Groups.io I did so as moderator. ? After creating the Groups.io page I am shown as an "Owner". ?
I now know that only the person who authorized the transfer has access to this feature.
I know I screwed up somewhere but can this be fixed?
Duane answered that - how to stop being the owner of your group. If you want to know how to find the status of your YG transfer, it is here in the FAQ - #8. /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/FAQ-on-Moving-from-Yahoo-Groups If neither of us got it, please ask again, rephrasing it. Frances ?

Do you mean the list called Members in Admin, or the Directory?
