Files in transfer are assigned to what members?

Linda Liao All Messages By This Member #22559 Hi everyone. Our transfer over from Yahoo Groups just finished!? Super excited, but I had a question.? We had a small number of files and photos transfer over (<200).? They mostly seem to be assigned to one of our moderators even though she didn't upload them and some even predate her joining the original Yahoo group.? It's not that big a deal to us, many of these files aren't relevant anymore and we will probably be cleaning a lot out.? But I was curious as to why this happened. Has anyone else encountered this? Thanks! Linda??

For any files or photos where the original posting member didn't get transferred, ownership should be assigned automatically to the person that handled the transfer (or possibly the group owner?).? Photos can be reassigned to another member with some work, but not files.

Linda Liao All Messages By This Member #22562 Ah gotcha.? She was the initial owner of the groups.io (started it), but I initiated the transfer, so that would make sense that they were assigned to her.? The members who uploaded those files are most likely not members anymore as we have a somewhat fluid membership.? ?? The transfer also seemed to indicate 150 files, but they aren't in the files section.? It looks like they are actually emails that are somehow saved as *.eml files within messages.? I assume those files are still readable in some way? Is there any way to edit the timestamp on messages that were transferred over?? There are two messages that are somehow time stamped in 1999 (which is 2 years before our Yahoo Group started), but reading the content tells me it should be sometime in 2004.

I cannot know for sure, but it sounds like something got out of sync during Yahoo export. Is there any way to edit the timestamp on messages that were transferred over??

There is no way to alter message date/timestamps. Bruce

So to correct this, would I have to do the transfer all over again? ?Or is this something that can be fixed internally within groups.io? ?Perhaps I should send an email to support to look into this. ?
Gerald Boutin #22688 Linda, It isn't clear from your posts as to what is on Yahoo. It could be that there are actually 150 messages that contained eml files within them and another transfer would just do the same thing. eml files are a format for saving emails to files. You can view eml files with a text editor to see the text in the email. Your description of emails within messages is a legitimate way to send an email within another email message. -- Gerald
