How to xfer yahoo msgs emailed after Oct 28?

 

Starting Oct 28, yahoogroups won't save any new content.

That means that new files cannot be uploaded, and no new messages archived.

We have created a new io group, and will soon pay upgrade to premium.

Our plan was to take a week or two, to set up the new empty io group with our custom notices, our own faq, etc. ... and then initiate the procedures for "easy transfer".

I understand that there is high demand, so we might have to wait our turn for the transfer. Totally understandable.?

But what happens to any new messages from our members sent to our list after Oct 28th? I understand they won't be archived inside our yahoogroups site. So how could they be transferred to groups.io?

The bottom line is ... for any transfers that happen between Oct 29 and Dec 1st, what happens to any new emails sent to the yahoogroups list during that time before the transfer is finalized?? How can these new emails be transferred if they are not added into our yahoogroups message archive?

Would we need to just save them in our regular email inbox, and then find a way to download them into some sort of archive file (I have no idea how)? and then post that into the groups.io?
Hoping there is a simple way to do this.

Yes, you can choose what gets transferred.? See /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Transfer-from-Yahoo-Groups#Step-1-E28094-Set-Up-and-Start-the-Transfer-Process

If it's bouncing members that you're concerned about, they wouldn't be transferred.? Each person transferred will get an email to let them know.? There's a link in it to allow them to easily opt out.

I have seen this question a lot of times these days.

Yes it is possible but be aware that then all the history in files and photos and all the old messages miss there original contributor.

So it really could make sense to transfer everything and delete later.

You have to create the group here before you can do anything else.? That would allow as much time as you want to set things as you prefer.

If you do the transfer, members are automatically added, so no invitations needed.

If it were me, I'd create the group and check out all the settings and possibilities and go from there.

Actions not remaining open to choose an action #bug

 

Attempting to approve/disapprove pending members. When i click the Actions button the drop down menu appears, but disappears when I release the mouse button. As a result I can not select an Action. I reported to support.

Getting ready to transfer our Freecycle Group from Yahoo to Groups.io - Question about migration??

 

Hi,
I am one of the Co-Owners of our local Freecycle Group. We have been going since 2004 and have a great community of @ 9000 members. I messaged my other Co-Owner earlier tonight discussing if he is happy for me to join Groups.io, pay the yearly premium plan and start the ball rolling.

What I am wondering is about the migration itself.

Groups.io will transfer our group members and the settings. Will I as owner, have time to go in and tidy up the new site, settings etc, before our current members are emailed the invite link??? There are a few things we would want to change and update from our Yahoo Group which were set up by the original owner back in 2004, that we don't have access to in Yahoo... Once we are happy with the site, we would then be happy for our members to begin the move across...

Looking forward to your response(s)...

Cheers
John

"Block or Unblock" in the sense of what..?

I am new to groups.io and still playing around with settings etc so forgive me if this is a worn out topic.? I am wondering if a member of my group can block/unblock a specific member?? I see where threads can be muted, still looking at that.

thank you,

Dawn and Deborah:? Please read?/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/FAQ-on-Moving-from-YahooGroups

Summarizing:??No one has reported any way to get them into your message base -- all indexed and searchable -- without using the Easy Group Transfer and ponying up the money. The best you can do is export your messages to your PC and upload them to the group as a file.?

That would be entirely up to Mark.? All I can suggest is contacting support, but expect a long delay on any reply.

That's an interesting idea, imitating a current moderator.? Mark would have to decide if he's willing to do the extra work involved.? Your best bet would be to contact [email protected] with the details, but expect a lengthy delay for a reply during this busy time.

So I started the process of transferring a Yahoo group over, sent an invitation from it to [email protected]

This was more than 12 hours ago, and have not yet seen that show up in my Yahoo group as member or received an email about making it a member.

How long does that usually take, and is their a support email for IO Groups if it does not happen?
It can take several days. Be sure to check status per?/g/GroupManagersForum/message/19948

Do I understand this correctly, that the urgent hint for long-term free groups to upgrade to premium if they had more than 500 members has been reversed?

Yes, but I suspect it will change again once Mark figures out the details for the overall pricing plan next year.

No. The Easy Group Transfer cannot proceed without someone in the Yahoo group who can perform these functions.

Many actually had no interest in upgrading to premium because they didn?t need the features....but they tried to meet the deadline of 9 am on the 22nd and paid 110$ trying to avoid the price raise to 220$...

Does the remaining moderator have permissions to invite members and promote members to moderator? If yes then you don't have a problem; just proceed as normal.

There is no "setting" for anything on the transfer agent; it just works once Mark tells it to. If nobody can invite and then promote the transfer agent then I'm afraid your Yahoo Group will simply founder. The "simple" option in these circumstances is to post on the Yahoo group with details of how to apply to the new group hosted on Groups.io, or if you can download a list of existing members use the "Invite" function in Groups.io (or even Direct Add if you have a Premium Group) to get them in.

Files and Photos can be downloaded from the Yahoo Group and manually uploaded to Groups.io but their attribution to their originators will be lost. Note that that is potentially a lot of work.
