Our group transfer from Yahoo is now successfully complete. We used the PGO4 and PGO-2-GIO sequence. The transfer our objectives:

• Transfer of attachments with every message (This was the showstopper that prevented us from using EasyTransfer. There were hundreds of attachments.)
• Message numbers retained so that message cross-references remain correct. (Placeholders were inserted for messages that had been deleted.)
• Messages referencing files in the Files section have been updated to reflect the new file locations. (There were only eleven files--I did this manually.)

But in the process a couple of questions arose.

1. There were a eleven messages that came from Yahoo, each announcing that a file had been loaded to the Yahoo File store. In Yahoo the Subject was "New file uploaded to NC_LTRGs." These came posted to Groups.io as "No Subject." That is probably a question for PGO-2-GIO, but here is the question for this group: When I edit one of those messages, there is a button at the top labelled "Edit Topic." Under the "More" hamburger menu at the bottom, there is an option labelled "Edit Topic." What is the difference between these two buttons? Why are there two?
2. When the topic was edited and the message was re-displayed, the preview was missing the first part of the first line. I was going to report it as a problem, but when I redisplayed the message list, it was magically fixed. Maybe the page isn't automatically refreshed when it should be... Not a serious concern.
3. When I was editing the messages which referred to files, adding links to the locations on Groups.io, the dialog requests URL, Text to Display, and Title. I understand the purpose of the first two, the classic link and link-text. But what is Title and how is it utilized?

I am pleased with Groups.io so far. It is intuitive and easy to use. I am about to pay for a month and upload the user list.

What browsers do with the "title" depends on the browser. Some display the title as a tooltip when you hover over the link.
