Nifty new Y!Groups transfer form

Shal Farley Member Profile All Messages By This Member #5019 Wow! I was about to send an invite to the transfer agent for three groups, when I decided to re-check the instructions to be sure I hadn't missed anything. Glad I did. By some coincidence the instruction page has been updated, and now you start the process by clicking a button and filling in a form. This side-steps all the problems with trying to use Y!Groups Invite mechanism (which some report is working now...). One of the key advantages is that the application to transfer is tied to your Groups.io login from the outset, which means an immediate acknowledgement by your email address here, again side-stepping the sometimes problematic Y!Groups -owner email address. You enter the Y!Group name on the form, and select the Groups.io group from a drop-list of your groups. So that makes that easier. A bunch of checkboxes for what you want to transfer, and whether you want an automatic notice to the copied members at the end. This has got to be saving Mark oodles of time - hopefully far more than it took to create it. /yahootransfer Astonishingly, one of the three groups got the notification from Yahoo that the transfer agent had joined the group within a couple hours of filling in the form (the other two still waiting). So that group has given the "Go" (again on the form) and waits for its turn to transfer, while the other two wait for the agent to join. Very nice.

With some of the groups I helped move recently we had to resort to the Yahoo request membership option, which seemed to work better than expected. This may streamline things a lot for Mark. Dano
Stan Gorodenski All Messages By This Member #5038 Shal, Thanks for pointing out the revised instruction form. I never would have thought of rechecking to see if any changes had been made when I get ready to move my other group over.
