Thanks Michael, sounds like a similar use case but yours are sessions all within one overarching organisation?
And to get clear; you don't have a main group with subgroups due to the clunkier email addresses, so you have an entirely separate account for each genre? Is that right?

So apart from the clunky email address of subgroups, would they work for me; ie , is it possible for subgroups to be independent of each other, with separate members & moderators?

Thanks

I definitely want to upgrade today but cannot figure out how to do that. I have just entered a payment method into my account. Now what? TIA

To upgrade:

1. Browse to the group that you want to upgrade (GROUPS have a payment plan, not accounts).
2. Select Admin>Upgrade from the left-side menu bar.
3. On the resulting page, click the blue "View/Change Plan" button.
4. To fund a transfer, you will need to select Premium Yearly from the options (one-time payment of $110 today, $220 tomorrow).
5. Enter your credit card information and checkout

Hope this helps,
Bruce

You have to click on their name in the member list on yahoo and then change the drop down for member type.?

Folks -- Here is the notification in full...cross-posted from .

Like everyone, we were taken by surprise when Yahoo announced they will be shutting down Yahoo Groups in just a few short weeks. Groups.io runs a world-class email groups service and has quickly been recognized as the best migration option for Yahoo Groups users. We are flattered by this recognition, and have been overwhelmed with traffic and group transfer requests as a result. We have spent the days since Yahoo's announcement diligently adding new server capacity and starting to work through an unprecedented number of transfer requests.

Fortunately, Groups.io has always been built to scale and already has a user base in excess of 1 million users today. In order to accommodate this major growth phase while maintaining our excellent service levels and industry-leading functionality, we will need to adjust our pricing as follows. As of 9AM Pacific Time, October 22:

1. The annual fee for premium groups is $20/month or $220/year. (Premium groups in existence before that date are grandfathered in at their current fee.)

2. As is already the case, all transferred groups are required to be premium groups for the first year. The $220 transfer fee counts for the premium fee, so once having paid the transfer fee, transferred groups are exempt from paying the premium fee for the first year.

3. All new basic (non-premium) groups are required to be premium groups if they have, or acquire, more than 500 members or more than 3 subgroups. (Basic groups in existence before October 22 at 9AM remain unlimited for now; however, next year we will be looking at readjusting our pricing structure and moving away from a flat rate fee and towards a more equitable per-member cost. We will keep you posted about all of this as we work through the process.)

As you know, Yahoo has given us incredibly short deadlines. New content cannot be uploaded to Yahoo Groups after October 28 and all user generated content will be deleted from Yahoo Groups on December 14. To ensure that we have enough time to export all data off of Yahoo, we have set a deadline of midnight, December 1 Pacific Time for all new transfer requests to be received. Assuming that Yahoo doesn’t have any server issues, we believe that we’ll be able to export all data out of Yahoo before they delete all the data. However, in order to maintain a high level of service to our existing customers, we cannot import groups into our service as fast as we can export them out of Yahoo. There may be some delay before we can import all groups. If you wish to have your transfer prioritized, the group transfer page allows you to pay an additional one-time fee of $200 (this will go live at 9AM Pacific Time, October 22).

We welcome the opportunity to elevate the groups email experience for Yahoo users. We are committed to making the migration process as seamless as possible. Thank you for choosing Groups.io.

Thanks, Mark

For example: I just paid the premium rate and signed up to transfer my most important yahoogroup, but I have 7 others yahoogroups and am not sure if I have to pay for Premium for each group, or just once for all groups?

Deane -- A payment plan is associated with the group, not the owner.

The price is $110 for each destination group. It will be $220 tomorrow.

Ok, I just read through that link but I'm confused? There seems to be a problem in the language related to groups (singular) and groups (plural).

For example: I just paid the premium rate and signed up to transfer my most important yahoogroup, but I have 7 others yahoogroups and am not sure if I have to pay for Premium for each group, or just once for all groups?

Can anyone please explain?

Be well, Deane

-------------------------------

Whoa!! Stop the presses indeed!

NOW is the time to lock in your Premium rate at $110/year and get your group(s) in the transfer queue.

If you wait until after 0900 Pacific time (noon EDT) tomorrow, the price doubles.

Details are here:??? ?Please don't shoot the messenger.

You really need to pay $110 up front.

Thanks Hermen, but - WHY is it SO HARD to get information about this $110.00 ??

I didn't see a THING about it while creating my new group and tryting to integrate over from yahoo groups.

Creating a group costs nothing, so it stands to reason that you wouldn't run into this information until you start looking around for transfer instructions.

They made it sound like everyhting would transfer over and no mention of $110

I don't know who "they" might be.?

Your group must be reviewed to be sure it meets the groups.io Terms of Service.?

Are they waiting for me to do something else?

No. Your group should be approved in a few hours.

I tried to trabsfer over our Yahoo Group, but it seems stalled...

Everything has to be done in order. While you're waiting, familiarize yourself with the process:??/g/GroupManagersForum/message/19673

The duplicated email address would be subscribed to both subgroups, but appear only once in the main group.

That would be the same for a brand new member who joined your Gio group and then two subgroups.

use PGoffline 4
