How long to wait for transfer
#transfer
Hello -?
I initiated a transfer of messages from our Yahoo group on Nov 19th. The status says that the transfer is in process and it appears that the transfer agent accepted the invitation to the Y group since it now shows as a member. I do understand that there is manual intervention required by groups.io. I'm trying to be patient but I'm wondering at what point, if any, I should take additional action. |
Chris,
I initiated a transfer of messages from our Yahoo group on Nov 19th.It may be extra delayed due to Mark's vacation on Thanksgiving week. The status says that the transfer is in process and it appears thatIf the status text says that the transfer is in process then you must have already promoted the transfer agent to moderator, and clicked the "Give Go Ahead to Transfer" button. If that's not true then something is confused. You should have previously seen the screen shown at the bottom of Step 2 in GMF's wiki page, that's where the go-ahead button is: /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Transfer-from-Yahoo-Groups#Step-2-E28094-Invite-the-Transfer-Agent If both of those are true, and you're at the screen shown at the bottom of Step 4 then there's nothing more you need do but wait for the completion notice. Also, the status page will change to show completion as shown in the Afterward section. If all looks well with the status page I'd suggest giving it a few more days to complete, especially if the Yahoo group has a large amount of content. Sometimes the agent runs into delays or other trouble accessing content from Yahoo. Watch your email for notices, and check the status page every day or so.
