I hesitated to send this message given the unbelievable volume of messages being posted but I wanted to give Mark and Groups.io a 'shout-out' for the ease of navigation in his groups.

Yesterday a Yahoo Group I am a member of completed their move to Groups.io. I guess they're paying the premium rate because the files and photos made the move too. It's a group, like many, that used to a fun, interesting and informative group all that began to change around 2009-2010. You can see the change in the monthly message totals and the drop was dramatic. After a while I stopped visiting the site -- there were months when they got less than five messages posted -- and I actually forgot all about it. Yesterday when I got the transfer message I noticed I was still subscribed through my old AOL email. I wanted to change to my Gmail account. It was easy to find out how to do it. Once I made the request, Groups.io immediately sent a message with a link to my Gmail address. If I clicked on the link (which I did) my AOL account would be 'merged' into my Gmail account. I was warned that, while my membership would be changed to Gmail as requested, I would no longer be able to use the AOL account. That was fine. I never use the AOL account anymore anyway. (In fact, I would have deleted it except two old fogies I know have absolutely REFUSED to use my Gmail. They still send everything to my AOL account. For them I keep it going.)

Anyway, being a Yahoo Groups member the past couple of years, as Yahoo began to withhold even the most basic forms of support from Yahoo Groups members, it was nice to have be able to use a responsive, streamlined process. The change worked quickly and was intelligently set up.

Thanks Mark! You've restored my faith in the internet. Well, kind of restored it anyway. :)

FYI, no one from Groups.io management is on this group, but it's certainly refreshing to hear some good news now and then.? Once all the dust settles, I think there will be many people that share your appreciation.

Speaking of appreciation, I think you, Shal and Bruce deserve a? nod. I count nearly 2,000 messages in this group (and not including beta) since the start of the month and that's way, way over what previous months were like. Applause for handling the increased workload!

Best,

I haven’t counted lately but when I joined here recently messages were arriving in my inbox at a general rate of one every 3 or 4 minutes.?

Our group that was started as a Yahoo group in 2002 migrated to groups.io in March 2018. It went so smoothly! We use almost every feature, have expanded membership significantly (about 1200 now), and have had very few glitches. I am so very pleased with groups.io.? Just recently when I noted a few things (hashtags, searches, for example) that are not working as usual, I came to this forum to see if others are experiencing the same issues. I see that there has been a major demand for transfers to groups.io that is taxing the system.? I am hopeful - confident - that things will get back to normal.The snafus are not affecting our most important functions.

Thanks for all you do everyone at groups.io.
