Re: Detailed Instructions on How to Conduct a Yahoo Transfer
My only feedback on these excellent suggestions is that Step 12 may no longer be the longest step in the process, at least not until the Great Migration is done.?? :) On Thu, Oct 24, 2019 at 12:12 PM Janis <jhurstartist@...> wrote: Awesome, Bruce!

my question is when does groups.io update the box with the "We've received the invite...."That may happen as soon as the invitation is sent.? Mark mentioned that the system compares invitations to requested transfers.? If you haven't requested a transfer, the invitation will get tossed in the bit bucket because you didn't follow the instructions.? It gets updated again when the invitation is accepted.

Re: You have 1 transfer in process or completed
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýHi Shal,?
Thanks for getting back to me.
On the Easy Yahoo Group Transfer page (with the red notice on the top) I followed instructions under Steps to Transfer Your Group, in order, through step 5 (including the one year payment)
When returning to the page (step 6) and selecting the Yahoo group from the drop down and then clicking on it, nothing happens, but the message under the drop says the transfer is in process.
Do I just start over or am I being impatient? See the image below.

Have a closer look at the sequence of screen shots in this Wiki Page: /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Transfer-from-Yahoo-Groups You'll recognize the Subject text of this message from the screen shots showing the bottom of the transfer instructions page. There's also an example of the drop-list open to show a list of five transfers, some completed, some not. Shal |

When someone that I don't recognize tries to join, I just reject the application.? It basically says: "You must be a member of our club to join this group.?

Re: How to remove the "Apply for membership" button.
If so, you can set up a process that requires people to answer questions or whatever you set up. You decide to admit them as members. See?/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Screening-New-Members-Using-the-Pending-Subscription-NoticeJust an important point - people who are transferred from Yahoo Groups, people you "direct add" (a premium feature), or people you invite using your group invitation process, do not get the Pending Subscription Notice. See the GMF wiki - the section on?Best Practices for Group Management, Group Formation (a), #3-5. /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/home Frances FAQ on Moving from YahooGroups GMF Wiki: (unofficial) Help for members (and would-be members) and group managers |

Re: How to remove the "Apply for membership" button.
I really don't think you can. You could how ever set it up to where you ask the question in the notice. If they respond or if they respond no reject their subscription. Sarah Alawami, owner of TFFP. On 24 Oct 2019, at 8:19, Robert Alexander via Groups.Io wrote:

Re: NEW transfer status information
It has been impressive about how responsive Groups.io has been, but I also feel like we have been stuck in Step 1 for a while also.? We paid for premium on Saturday 10/20, but we haven't made much progress.
Hoping for a better day for the Yahoo servers so we can all get our data out! |

Re: How to remove the "Apply for membership" button.
Rob,
On your group home page, there are two buttons - Apply for Membership and a green Login. You can't delete them. I am assuming your group is a restricted one.? If so, you can set up a process that requires people to answer questions or whatever you set up. You decide to admit them as members.

It sometimes?happens is someone without proper authority attempts to do a transfer only to get stuck when they realize they can't promote the transfer agent to a Moderator. So the agent remains a member of the group and the whole thing ends up in limbo. See?/g/GroupManagersForum/message/19948?for instructions on how to check status. As Duane said, if your transfer status still says something like "be sure to invite [email protected]"?or something to that effect, and you find that?[email protected]?is already subscribed, you will have to delete the existing subscription and send a new invitation. Hope this helps, Bruce |

Re: #transfer

From Bruce's detailed instructions:
7.?Return to the bookmarked page (/yahootransfer). Click on the big green button at the bottom that says "Set Up New Transfer." 8. Enter the name of your Yahoo group and the name of your groups.io group in their respective boxes. Do NOT enter any domain information (i.e.: leave off @yahoogroups.com or @yahoogroups.co.uk), just the group names.
Click the big green "Start Group Transfer Process" button at the bottom of the page.?
(You have now completed Step 2 of the instructions)
?
9. Go to your YAHOO GROUP (not your groups.io group) and log in. Send a membership invitation to "[email protected]". If you've never done this before, instructions can be found at

Re: Can not get transfer request to show up in the "In Process" list
Do I just sent the invite (step 10) or do I need to go back to step 7 (Set Up New Transfer) and start there?
On a related note, does the "Existing Transfers" update at step 7 or only between steps 10 and 11 (some unknown time between the yahoo request to join and groups.io getting (and processing) that request). That could be a problem, especially with how buggy yahoo groups has been, how can we know if the request went out or if groups.io got it? I saw the [email protected] show up: To ask this another way, how long (or what steps need to happen) between step 7 and the "Existing Transfers" box to be updated to say ... we have received the invite...?
