Bruce,

I feel like a dunce and I'm afraid I may do some harm. I read through your Bruce's Detailed Instructions, but still stuggling.

Yesterday, the transfer process was halted until I upgraded to premium, which I did.

The problem: I started with $20 premium monthly and charged $20 on 10/27. I upgraded to Premium yearly today, but today's upgrade to yearly wasn't charged.

As you advised, I restarted the transfer process by clicking the Set Up a New Transfer and added the YG name and GIO name from the pull down.

Clicking "Give Go Ahead to Transfer" green button only refreshes the page.

1. YG has a [email protected] member with moderator rights.

2. The pink area on Yahoo Group Transfer Setup says, "We have accepted the invite to your group. If you have not already, make [email protected] a moderator of your group. Once you have done that, tell us when you are ready to transfer your group."

3. I again tried "Set Up A New Transfer" and this time the pink box said, "Set up and start the transfer process below. To transfer a group, your Groups.io group must be upgraded to the Premium Yearly option." The Plans and Pricing page set me on the static pricing page that asks me to start a group.

Any guidance is very much appreciated

Thanks,

--Steve

I upgraded to Yearly Premium which got me to the next step in the Transfer process, that is, making "[email protected]" a moderator on our list.

Steve -- Good. That's what you needed to do to proceed.

I tried adding "[email protected]" to the list, but (now obviously), I can't. So the process has stopped until GIO actually adds that address.

You're supposed to invite the transfer agent to your YAHOO GROUP. The agent cannot transfer content from Yahoo if you don't give it access to the data.

Please note that, at some point, you must also promote the transfer agent to be a Moderator of your Yahoo group. If you are not the Owner of the Yahoo group, you probably won't be able to do this. Find someone who can.

Or is there something more I need to do?

It sounds like you have completed Step 1. Please see /g/GroupManagersForum/message/19673 for detailed instructions on how to proceed.

Regards,
Bruce

Here is a stupid question. How do I find my topics or topics I have commented on in the GroupManagersForum? Is there a filter or link for my messages? I hope I can locate the responses. Thanks.

Scott.

Emails to the +owner go to your own email account, not to the group.

Honestly I forget where you can see them on the group. But not in the message archive.

Check your email trash, etc.

Help email, I am quite sure, just sends you some emailed help info. Again, it is not a post.

I own a Yahoo group called FlaxSeedOil2. I signed up to have my group transferred today, Oct 29. I paid the annual fee of $220. I then received an email saying my group was approved and I can begin inviting members. But I need to have my members, files etc transferred. I sent an invitation from FlaxSeedOil2 to the transfer address, but I got no reply.

Francis, you're saying to make the transfer email a member but Yahoo doesn't allow an owner to make someone a member of my group. The new person has to sign up on their own.?
The instructions I read said the transfer agent would send me an email, but I didn't get an email back and it's been 2 or 3 hours since I sent it. After a couple hours, I sent a 2nd invite.
What should I do next?

So you started the transfer but you are stymied by having to invite the email address [email protected]?to your Yahoo Group.
Unless there has been a change that I haven't heard about, you should be able to do so. If you are an owner. Is it possible you aren't?

If you are an owner, go to this page and scroll down to Step 2 on this page -?/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Transfer-from-Yahoo-Groups

You really need to go step by step.?If someone else knows about this, please chime in.

Frances

If you are in need to use this address then send from the group to an other address, make a forwarding to this address and put this address as an alias in your goup.io account so that? the system will recognise you when you answer via email from this address.

sounds complicated, but is simple. :-)

Sometimes email systems do strange things to prevent spam.

I you are able to, use an other email address at all.

Tracking down such problems is time consuming, a other email address much more simple.

What says the transfer complete email?

I received a “Transfer Complete” message two days but now, it appears that only 1,398 of 4,700 messages were transferred from Adcraftowners at Yahoo.? This was not mentioned in the notification.

What can we do to get the rest?

Gene (Owner)



Mod's note: enhanced subject line

What is being used is an e-mail address; phone-number@tmomail.net. It works fine when it send mail directly, it doesn't work when I send a groups.io invite.

For some reason I got it to work.? I submitted the [email protected] several times and all I got was the error message above. ?

I just tried it again and yahoo let me add the [email protected].

I'm receiving the following message from Yahoo when I try to add you as a member.

• EMAIL/YAHOO ID
  STATUS
• [email protected]
  User does not want to be invited

Raven -- I can't speak to the error message. I will say that groups.io uses SMTP to send group messages, not SMS. It seems unlikely that anyone attempting to sign up with a texting-only address will have a satisfactory experience, even if they are successful.

Looks like T-Mobile doesn't like groups.io sender addresses. Is there a workaround?

A groups.io mobile app is under development. There has been no release date established, but with the continued Y!G influx it seems reasonable that will be pushed back.

The transfer requires the OWNER to make the groups.io trnafer member a moderator

No, it requires at least a moderator with the "Add, remove, and change moderator privileges" permission to do it.

no where did it mention the Transfer Fee. How much is fee and where's it paid?

The year of premium service is the transfer fee.? You can pay an additional $200 for priority service.

You'd need to contact [email protected] to ask that the month paid be applied to the annual fee.
