I am still on step one-
Transfer Status

Susan,

Day 3. My concern is after Oct 28, will IO groups still have access to
my files and member list to do a complete transfer ...

Nothing is a guarantee with Yahoo, but what they say is that the archives will stay available until December 14th.

Your group is awaiting export from Yahoo. [Step 1 of 4]
...
or do you think someone form IO Groups already retrieved all needed
info,

Nope. It says right there that you're in the queue waiting to start copying from Yahoo.

... but I have over 400,000 messages and 10,000+ members.

So at the step where the content copied from Yahoo is being installed in your group, you'll have an extra-special long wait. But that's ok even if it went past December 14th, so long as the export from Yahoo finished.

about 400 people have transferred themselves over.

Those 400 will have their subscription initially set to what's in your group's Default Sub Settings tab of the Settings page. Hope you've set that they way you want.

The ones that wait to be transferred will have their subscription settings copied from your Yahoo Group, including Email Delivery and Posting Privileges (but not Role).

I followed those steps, clicked on ROLE and nothing happens.

In case there is still some misunderstanding, beside the word "Role", there should be a rectangular box that says "Member" and has a down arrow. Click on where it says "Member". Now that should show Member and Moderator. Now click on "Moderator".

If that doesn't work, check your own "Moderator Privileges" permissions as a Moderator. You must have "Invite and Add Members" and "Add, remove, and change moderator privileges". If not, that is why you are unable to perform this function.

IIUC, the roles of YG members aren’t retained in the transfer. Since I belong to my YG, in the transfer I’d come over as a member on .io rather than group owner, except because a bug of that magnitude would be all over this group. How does that work? Will I see myself listed twice, once as the owner and once as a member? I’m having a ‘Does not compute’ conundrum.

Members (email addresses) that already exist on the GIO group aren't transferred.? If you have another address subscribed to the YG, it will be.

Deborah,

Correct.

Since I belong to my YG, in the transfer I’d come over as a member on .io rather than group owner, ...

If the same email address is found in both places, that email address won't be copied during the transfer. So you wouldn't "come over" at all - you're already here.

Will I see myself listed twice, once as the owner and once as a
member? I’m having a ‘Does not compute’ conundrum.

Only if you have additional memberships in your Yahoo Group, under different email addresses than the one(s) you have here.

My transfer is fast approaching. Right now the primary email address on both my GIO and YG is the same. If I leave it alone, my transferred membership will be rejected because I'm already a member on GIO. If I change the primary email address on either group before the transfer, I'll end up being listed twice, once as the owner under my GIO join date and once as a (transferred) member under my YG join date. Is that right?

That's correct.

My YG was transferred last night. Since my only working computer is at work right now, I haven’t thoroughly checked everything out, but what I’ve seen so far on my phone looks great.?

One thing puzzles me though. I understand that a G.io account holder’s email address is his/her’s user ID. My YG and G.io display names and primary email addresses were the same....I just realized the answer to my question. I was going to ask why, when I changed the primary email address on my YG account before the transfer so that I’d be transferred with my original join date, my YG membership didn’t transfer over. But while I was typing I realized that since my YG was already in step 3 when I changed my YG email address it was too late. G.io had copied (exported?) my YG prior to my email address change. Is that right?

Yes, that's what happened.? Just a tad late with change.

Deborah -- For the benefit of others here in GMF, it depends on which Step 3 you are talking about.

-- If we're talking about Step 3 in the QUEUE FOR IMPORT (ref:?), then yes (i.e.: you made this change after the export had already occurred).
-- If we're talking about Step 3 on the Transfer Page at?/yahootransfer, then you are still inviting the transfer agent and nothing has been exported from Yahoo Groups yet.

Generally, folks need to understand that anything done to the Yahoo Group after the data has already been exported will not be reflected in GIO when it is eventually imported. This includes any messages posted and any subscribers who have recently joined the group.

It's for this reason that I've begun to advise group owners to allow people to go ahead and join the GIO group and post there as soon as your group is queued for import (Step 3 in the QUEUE). Otherwise, those subsequent posts will not only NOT be transferred, but on Dec 14 will become totally irretrievable.

Regards,
Bruce

Sorry Bruce, can you explain that again??

I am in step 3, there are now 818 groups ahead of me.
So any new messages and new subscribers won't be transferred? OR when I reach step 4, everything from that day of transfer will be moved to IO list?

If the status is "Your group is awaiting import into Groups.io.", then what will be copied from the YG is already done.? That was completed with the export.
