#transfer Waiting since Oct 31 for iGroups.io to accept invitation to join Yahoo Group evonline2002_webheads #transfer
|
Dear helpful team,
Sorry about adding to the pile of similar mails but I upgraded my Yahoo Group?evonline2002_webheads to premium over a week ago, on Oct 31. I entered that group name into the step 2 field and as instructed "Click the big green "Start Group Transfer Process" button at the bottom of the page" I then began step 3 and all is NOT well, as there is no indication that a transfer has begin, and as it says in 3.2?If it?doesn't?say that, the invitation did not go through.?Go back to Step 3.1 above and try again.?? I did that many times in the first couple of days in Nov and then was instructed in a reply to my post at the time to NOT do that. So I tried step 4.2BE EVEN MORE PATIENT. and now 9 days have passed and this is what I see at the bottom of my?/yahootransfer View Existing Transfer Status: (followed by nothing - no transfers are listed)
The obvious problem with the process is that despite the noble and tireless efforts of the many volunteers to try to deal with the masses of requests for attention to each user's individual problem, there is no way for the individual to find out if anything at all was started at groups.io One possible solution would be for groups.io to send people who have paid and been waiting for over a week as patiently as possible a REQUEST to join their group. Our group is a group of around 1000 educators who have been operating as a community of practice without funding since 2002 and I have paid $220 to preserve its thousands of messages. I would appreciate knowing if there is an upper limit on patience required as it appears there is nothing more I can do through this FAQ system, unless I've gone off somewhere through my fault, though I've read a good number of posts here, and can't see where I have done that.. Vance Stevens Holder of the crown in this group since Nov 24, 2001 3.1 Go to your YAHOO GROUP (not your groups.io group) and log in. Send a membership invitation to "[email protected]". If you've never done this before, instructions can be found at?? 3.2 Return to the bookmarked page?(/yahootransfer) once again. Select the group you are transferring from the Existing Transfers at bottom right (click on its link). A new page will come up, with?a status box at the top. If all is well, it?should?say: "We've received the invite to your group and will accept it soon. There is no need to send another invite."?If it?doesn't?say that, the invitation did not go through. Go back to Step 3.1 above and try again.?? (You have now completed Step 3 of the instructions) 4.1 BE PATIENT. Accepting the invitation is often?the longest step in the process, and requires human intervention (solving a CAPTCHA).? 4.2 BE EVEN MORE PATIENT.?Do?not?send additional invitations in an attempt to hurry things up. 4.3 You will eventually?receive an email from groups.io stating?that the Yahoo group invitation has been accepted, and providing you with further instructions.?Continue waiting until you receive this email. (You have now completed Step 4 of the instructions) |

Dear helpful team,Vance -- It seems we've had a miscommunication. Did you provide a destination group? You have to type in your Yahoo Group in the top box and also select your destination group from the pull-down menu immediately below it. At that point you should be able to click on the green "Start Group Transfer Process" button without getting an error message of some kind. I then began step 3 and all is NOT well, as there is no indication that a transfer has begin, and as it says in 3.2?If it?doesn't?say that, the invitation did not go through.?Go back to Step 3.1 above and try again.??Based on your?post of November 2, I thought you were at Step 4.? This suggests you have no transfers in process.?No wonder your invitation hasn't been accepted. I hope that's a blue crown. If it's green, you're a Moderator, not an Owner. Please re-read the detailed instructions at?/g/GroupManagersForum/message/22617?and resume from Step 2.1. Once a transfer is actually underway, you should be able to monitor progress using the status instructions at?/g/GroupManagersForum/message/19948 Hope this helps, Bruce |

Thanks Bruce.? I'm quite sure that I did this You have to type in your Yahoo Group in the top box and?also?select your destination group from the pull-down menu immediately below it. At that point you should be able to click on the green "Start Group Transfer Process" button without getting an error message of some kind.? I typed the YGroup name?evonline2002_webheads in the top box I'm sure I entered the destination group in the bottom menu. I believe it would have been listed there and I selected it, is that correct? I'm pretty sure I clicked to start the transfer process. What should I do now? try again? Please advise, and thanks ?

Perhaps...but based on the description you provided, you do not have one. You should resume at Step 2.1 as I stated in my previous message. At that point your "Existing Transfer" list should no longer be empty. Bruce |

Thanks Bruce, I'm not sure what happened the first time but this time my YGroup is listed,? I sent what I hope is my last invitation to [email protected] and when I click on Update Transfer I now see We've received the invite to your group and will accept it soon. There is no need to send another invite.Ok, back to being patient again, but at least now the system is responding as it's supposed to. Thank you so much for your help!
