Okay, let's try this again.
- Go to the Yahoo transfer page at?/yahootransfer
- Select the transfer you want to check status on from "Existing Transfers" at lower right (click on its name)*
- The box at the top of the resulting page will tell you the status of that transfer.
- Repeat for any other transfers you may have in progress.
For transfers that are actually approved and in progress, see also:??to see at which stage you are in the transfer queue. Regards, Bruce

Bruce,
Sometime between I emailed and now, they have started the transfer. Seems patience is required.
Thanks for your advice.

Sadly my existing transfers box says I have no transfers in process.

I’ve paid for my year of premium maintenance. I’ve invited
[email protected] to my Yahoo group (several days ago).

Nada since.

If you have none in process, it can only be because you didn't start one properly. See? /g/GroupManagersForum/message/19673?for detailed instructions. Sounds like you need to resume at #7 on that list.
I’ve paid for my year of premium maintenance. I’ve invited [email protected] to my Yahoo group (several days ago).
Inviting the transfer agent is step 3...and you haven't completed step 2 yet. The transfer agent will not accept an invitation if you don't have a transfer pending. Regards, Bruce

I’m pretty sure I did that, but I just did it again. Should I send another invite?

Not until you're sure you have a transfer in process. Go back to? /yahootransfer, pull down the Existing Transfers menu and make sure something is there. If something is, then you can proceed to go to your Yahoo Group and invite the transfer agent again. If there still isn't anything there, you need to click on "Set Up New Transfer" again, and be sure to put JUST THE GROUP NAMES in the two boxes (leave off all the @domain stuff). I admit that I'm just taking a guess at the problem, but you wouldn't be the first person who tried to do this by putting email addresses in those boxes instead of the group names. Good luck, Bruce

Linda, Don't know if this will help, but did you click on the arrow on the right edge of the empty "Existing Transfers" box?? The list of groups with transfer requests will show in a drop-down list.? I was unclear on that at first.? I can then click on the group name, and it takes me to the transfer setup page for that group.? It's at the top of that setup page that the message tells me if my invite has been received and/or accepted.? Dotty

Mine worked but here is what I did “Groups.io Transfer <[email protected]>” Obviously you use only the text inside the quotes. It did not work until I added the first and last name to the invite.

Right. You have to click in the box. You can't just look at it! Bruce

Now it shows up! Hooray. I did another invite, including a name
?
Groups.io Transfer <[email protected]>
?
I hope that works.

Linda J,
You sent the invite. Did the status on the screen change to 'we've received
the invite, when respond to it and become a member, make it a moderator' or
words to that effect. Due to the workload, and this is a manual step for
groups.io, I've seen it go from 1-12 hours to over a day lately. If you
don't see the "we received the invite", which I think is automated like I
saw it within an hour or so, then suspect a typo on the invite.

I have paid the fees, invited transfer to my list, and received a message that popped up on my list here on io groups that my list is ready to go but transfer has not joined my list yet so I cannot make him a moderator. It has been 4-5 days now.

You are not the only one completely frustrated with lack of progress on a transfer.
I am trying to do a second transfer for the Yahoo photos only.
I have followed all the steps in the instructions including making "transfer.io" a moderator in Yahoo. I have deleted the notice to a previous completed transfer.
When I try my latest transfer NOTHING! No advice of any type is received.

Linda J and other,
I think one of the problems people may be having is with the terms. In step
2, you start the transfer process. This tells groups.io that you are wanting
to do a transfer. Then you do the invite from Yahoo Groups. Then they join
the group on Yahoo. You promote them to moderator. The next step is 'Begin'
the transfer itself.
It is the terms, it sounds like the concept of start or begin are used twice
in the sequence. The first time you are 'starting the transfer process' but
the second time, step 6, you 'starting the transfer'. Subtle difference, but
I think many users are hanging up on the steps.

I initiated 4 group transfers last night after I saw that the price would be changing today (it would be so helpful if there was a non-profit rate beyond the enterprise account, which I still don’t understand the difference).? I did not get a message that the invite was received nor did I receive receipts for the 4 charges.? I have done this before so I am fairly certain I did this correctly. That said, if the easy group transfer page shows that I do have 4 groups pending, how can I confirm the invites were received from yahoogroups since there is never anything at yahoogroups stating that the invitations were sent/received?
And, sorry to ask again but I cannot find the email that answered this, may I just move messages and not the members?
Thanks, Margery

Margery -- There very first message in this same topic ( /g/GroupManagersForum/message/19948) tells you how to do this. Regards, Bruce

Thanks. I get it now! We need to be patient because there must be a huge list of sites waiting to transfer. There is actually quite a bit of time left for all of this. One thing I understand from the pricing change notice is that groups.io will endeavor to grab all of our content before Yahoo deletes it. There is time after that to import that data into groups.io. Status messages are very helpful.

Actually, the question I really need to be answered - can we transfer just the messages and not the member list?
thanks, Margery

I would like to know that too. BTW - is there a way to "follow" certain messages like this one? Specifically get a special notification that a reply has been posted?
