I'm new to groups.io, but I don't think you can do the automatic transfer without the ability to add and promote the transfer bot to moderator. This may not be your best option, but??PG Offline should at least allow you to collect an archive of all your Yahoo! Group messages, photos, and files. If you're not a moderator, it won't allow you to transfer the members, I don't believe, but you could then set up a groups.io, add the sub-groups, and in a while, I believe the man behind PG Offline will have a way to add the archive for the main group.

As for contacting Yahoo! talking to a live person might help, or at least get you transferred to someone who can help.??It's a $5 a month fee, but it does look like you'd end up talking to a living human.?

This, and you could of course send out a message to all your Yahoo members telling them what’s happening. You won’t get those that are on special announcement only, but it’s better than nothing I’d think.

Susan,

We want to start up with your service.

Be aware that GMF is a user-to-user help group. There are no Groups.io employees reading this group.

Without the owner/moderator of our Yahoo group we are unable to add
new members. This presents a huge problem with data transfer I
believe.

You are correct.

As a moderator you would need the "Invite and add members" privilege to invite the transfer agent to your group. Also, you need the "Add, remove, and change moderator privileges" privilege to promote the transfer agent to moderator.

But if the person who passed away was the only person with either the owner or moderator role, then I think you're stuck as far as using the Easy Group Transfer function is concerned.

I'll concur with flonafrank's recommendation of PG Offline. I've used it to capture archives of the Messages, Files, Photos, and Links in the Yahoo Groups I own. Even the ones that I've already transferred to Groups.io (why not, disk space is cheap and messages don't take that much room).

Once you have an archive of the content, even as a member, that preserves your options for the future. For example, it is possible for you to share a PG Offline archive among your board or even your members. They would need to download and run a copy of the program in order to read the archive, but they can do that using the Free trial, even once it has expired.

I got a PM almost immediately.

For anyone following this thread, my issue was that my new laptop didn't have me in the memory on Yahoo yet, so asked me for my email.

Access to the Yahoo groups as a manager requires using your yahoo mail login, which is whatever user name and password you'd chosen.

Now that I'm back at my computer, Chrome remembered my details, and automatically filled the spaces, which logged me in.

So, my next trick will be to discover how to mark the issue closed!

Thanks to the unnamed (haven't had permission to quote his letter yet) benefactor.
