IO never accepts invitation to be a member of my Yahoo group. Why?? What do I do?

Janie All Messages By This Member #11875 I'm confused. The first time I invited [email protected]?into my Yahoo membership, I waited about three weeks...no acceptance of invite. Just tried again...it's now been a week and no acceptance of membership.? Anybody know what is going on??
Duane All Messages By This Member #11876 It's possible that it can take that long.? It's also possible that you've missed a step.? Go through /g/GroupManagersForum/message/8697 carefully to determine what your status is.

You haven't told us anything about what other steps you've taken, so we can only guess at what the problem might be. In particular, inviting the transfer agent (Step 2) has no effect unless you've already initiated the transfer (Step 1). The Start New Transfer page is how you tell the transfer agent which Groups.io group is to receive the content of your Yahoo Group. Review the instructions and be sure you've followed the steps in order. Note the boxed text at the top of the page.

Joe B All Messages By This Member #11883 I have the same problem and I have followed the instructions for two groups. ?It has been 48 hours and the only message I have is that the invite has been received by groups.io ?Came here because I am fed up with yahoogroups. ?I really hope it will be better.

The delay on accepting invitations has been as long as 4 weeks, depending on many conditions and considerations.

Janie All Messages By This Member #11905 Shal, I am following the directions seen here and exactly:?/yahootransfer?Yet I never get to Step 3 because IO never becomes a member via the invite. Just checked for the umpteenth time to see if the invite was accepted--nada.?
Janie All Messages By This Member #11906 Same, Joe B. And it's been WEEKS and no acceptance of invitation. Have even done it twice.?

At the bottom right of that page, do you see your transfer in the In Process drop down box?? If not, you haven't started the transfer in Step 1.? If you do, just wait.

Just checked for the umpteenth time to see if the invite was accepted--nada.? It's possible that the Yahoo invitation system isn't working properly. It wouldn't be the first time. Another common error is to attempt to invite the transfer agent to the GIO group instead of the Yahoo group. Go to the transfer page at?/yahootransfer? At the bottom of the page there should be an "In Process" box. Click in the box and find the group name in the resulting pull-down menu (if it doesn't appear, you skipped Step 1 somehow). Assuming the group does appear, click on it. There should be a grey box at the top of the resulting page giving status information. If it says "we have received your invitation and will accept it soon," then your invitation went out. The longest step in the entire process is the wait for the agent to join your Yahoo group. Once that happens and you promote it a Moderator, the rest of the process should complete in 2-3 days. Failing all that, you can try to contact support(at)groups(dot)io and ask Mark what's up. Hope this helps, Bruce -- The system Help is your friend.??/static/help

Mark Emmer All Messages By This Member #11953 One thing I've never seen mentioned in all the "It's taking forever to accept the Yahoo invite" messages is whether the requester is using the service for free or is enrolled as a premium or higher member. If groups.io is overloaded with transfer requests, it seems reasonable that they would give priority to paying customers. I transferred a 1,300 member Yahoo group about a month ago.? We enrolled in Premium, and initiated the transfer late on a Tuesday night. When the invite hadn't been accepted by Friday, I wrote to support, politely asking what was going on. Suddenly the group transferred that weekend. Since it would be unfair to a premium customer to be paying for a group that wasn't operational (because it hadn't transferred for weeks), I could understand why groups.io might put requests from those not paying at the bottom of the pile. Note that I have no hard evidence, only my experience and speculation. But those on GMF who regularly field these complaints might want to query about this and see if there's a pattern. Or those close to Mark F. might ask him privately. Personally, I have no problem paying for this service given how vastly superior it is to Yahoo.? Those not paying because they don't need the Premium features might reconsider providing financial support just to make sure groups.io remains financially viable. Mark E.

Monica H. Bellizzi All Messages By This Member #11955 Among the reasons we fled Yahoo was the fact that Bruce Bowman mentioned, Yahoo's invitation system was notoriously unreliable and untrackable. We also got fed up with those periods of no messages at all coming through and the blatant attempts to prevent owners for accessing the complete membership matrix as a .csv file.? Oh yes, neo was one of the big factors also. Yahoo certainly snatched defeat from the jaws of victory, didn't they. Our memberships over almost 20 years trended to 3000-3500 and it was embarrassing to have someone tell us repeatedly they never received the invitation. Not only that but Yahoo disabled direct membership capability. During our first several months we stayed free and never had a dropped invitation (iwthout being able to find the cause) We decided to go premium to facilitate our input process and, at $10 bucks per month it's a bargain. But I think that if you want an answer to whether paid groups get transfer priority you need to pose it as a question to [email protected],?the place for bugs, etc. This forum is not monitored by groups.io owner. -- Bob Bellizzi Founder, Fuchs Friends??
