charging membership to group members

 

I have searched the archives and cannot find the answer to the following question.? Is it against groups.io guidelines to charge a membership fee to the members of a group I am planning on transferring to this platform?? Thanks, Claudia
Re: Deleting a YGroup VS waiting for Yahoo's Axe to fal . . .!

 

It's possible that your YGroup has been "advertised" on many other websites, so just killing it entirely *might* be bad.? I suggest editing the home page/welcome page/advertising page on Yahoo to state at the group has moved and include a link in plain text to the new group.? ?In case yahoo disables html, new people could maybe copy/paste the link, so make it visible like that.

To check how it displays, you can open a different browser or a private/incognito session and go to the group page without logging in.
Re: Migrating the Yahoo stragglers

 

From experience I will tell you it's better to ask you members to try to hold their posts until transfer is complete if they can. If there IS urgent traffic, *and they have received the notice that they are members* of your group on groups.io (a sign the memberships have transferred) have them post to groups.io as Duane suggested. When the posts display on the web page, just make sure they display in chronological order, not message number order. (Because if they post while the messages are transferring, their posts will have message numbers that fall into the middle of the transferred messages.)

You will not see the migration; it will just happen. Unless it is absolutely essential that your existing group keeps functioning it might be better to advise your members of the forthcoming migration and suggest that they don't post until such time as they have been notified by Groups.io that the migration is complete at which point they should use Groups.io not Yahoo.

So as long as we can do the transfer before Dec 14, we should be OK?

Only if you want to jump to a faster list of getting your? group transferred do you need to pay the $200.

The $110 got you at end of a listing to transfer. As they work through the list your group will be transferred.

Some people wanted to get their group transferred faster so groups.io started another list and charged $200 to get on that list. So if you pay the $200 you get on the end of that list.

I assume they will work that second list completely before working on the first list.

Thus someone wanting faster service paid today the $200 they would be done it appears before any more on the first listing.

So do you need to pay the $200 it is up to you.

Re: changing email address as owner of a group

 

When I do this (I just did this yesterday actually), I open two different browser windows.? One chrome, one firefox for example, or one chrome, and one incognito window in chrome (google it if you need to).? That way I can have two active user accounts signed into my group.

This works because the active login sessions are based on cookies and cookies aren't shared between firefox and chrome, or by incognito sessions.? Incognito session cookies are cleared when that window closes though, so using two different browsers is safer.

Leave the wrong email address signed in and leave that browser open.? Open a new browser and go to your group.? request an email sign-in link and then open that link (copy and paste!) in the new browser.

Do not click that link in the browser that has the old/wrong account signed in, as it will likely sign your other account out.? That might be okay if you have the account name and password, but if you don't... you'll have problems.
reading exported group data

 

After downloading group data, like messages, membership list, cover photo, what program do I need to view the files?

Thanx.

Re: A question

 

Hi Steph (and Rich),?
When you check your transfer status, are you clicking in the drop-down box on and selecting your yahoo group name?? When that page first loads, it doesn't actually tell you anything until you select which group you're trying to transfer.

For those people with only one group, it doesn't make sense at all, but when you think about somebody who is transferring 3 or 4 groups (or any number more than one), you can realize that you need to tell the system *which* group transfer you want an update on.
Re: Cant seem to post at Yahoo Groups

 

If Y! groups are down, I don't see it unreasonable to ask here. This is likely part of the problem Y! has created by announcing such a short shutdown window, and I suspect traffic on Y! is much heavier than anticipated with people grabbing content.

Re: Paid to Move but problems

 

Thank you.? But, as I said, 3 of the 4 were just fine and I paid for each one within 10 minutes of each other.? The link still says I need to pay, which I do not.? I know support is buried but I'd like to think that this is the sort of thing they might address sooner.

Re: Yahoo Transfer - do members on group.io need to accept transfer #yahoo #transfer

 

To more closely answer your question...
No.? Transferred members do not need to accept anything.? The transfer agent does not use an invitation. It just does a direct subscription for each member.
Reassigning Ownership of Files

 

I have manually transferred all information from my seven groups on YG using the execllent tool called PG Offline.

All has been very successful except for reassigning ownership on files from myself to the origianl OP as no drop-down option box is appearing on either the folders or files themselves.? There is no issue for photographs with all the right things appearing in the right places.? I would have preferred to have the option to initially turn on a wild card option for all members (during the transfer process) to have access to changing such things as ownership and descriptions; all of my groups are relatively small and trusting.

What advice please?

Regards,
Mike
Re: 2 questions: Posting archive messages; how to moderate

 

You might want to consider sending invites to all those members who were on no-email.? They likely had been using the web interface to interact with your group, but are no longer (because Y!G is so broken).? There might be many who would want to use the new group, but since they are on no email, they won't know about it.

Transfer has begun

 

SOOO relieved!! I mean transfer was made a moderator yesterday and I gave the go ahead to begin. I imagine this takes several days?? Those of you that have successfully finished transferring from YahooGroups to IO Groups, what is the average amount of days it takes? I have over 10,000+ members and many messages. Curious.? <grin>

Deleting a YGroup VS waiting for Yahoo's Axe to fal . . .!

 

For those of us with YGroups who are by now completely moved and settled in at GIO perhaps with their old YGroups set to inactive, I am wondering . . . .

Is it better to wait 'til the 28th to for Yahoo to delete the group content, etc., or to go ahead now and just delete the old YGroup now?

In our case a year ago after we moved to GIO I had left our YGroup in place, intact but inactive, with a 'signpost' message in the homepage photo saying we'd moved and to come visit us over here on GIO. Even so there were a very scant few new member applications made to our old YGroup every month or two. So I had to manually re-direct those to our new GIO group and then delete them from the old YGroup.

So, what should we do . . . Wait or Delete our YGroups now?

My dilemma, I guess, is based in whether Yahoo will leave the old homepage intact after they delete the other content from the YGroups.
