Is Yahoo playing transfer games?

 

I've set up a new Groups.io group and sent an invitation to [email protected] from the Yahoo Group I want to move. That was over 2 hours ago. No invitation has been received to approve at the Yahoo Group.

I sent a new invitation to a non groups.io address and it went through immediately. Is Yahoo screwing with invitations to?[email protected]??

Ross,

I've set up a new Groups.io group and sent an invitation to [email protected] from the Yahoo Group I want to move. That was over 2 hours ago. No invitation has been received to approve at the Yahoo Group.

?You mean that the invitation hasn't been accepted. That's normal - acceptance is a manual process and could take hours to days. Or longer at the moment since the person who normally does that is on vacation through the end of the month.

To see if the invitation was received by the transfer agent, look at the In Process page for this transfer.

?I don't think there's anyone at Yahoo / Oath / Verizon paying enough attention to Y!Groups to notice Groups.io, much less take some action about it.

Accepting the Yahoo group invitation is the longest step in the process (it requires solving a CAPTCHA). In the past, the transfer queue has been as deep as three weeks; by the time Mark returns from his current vacation, it may be even longer than that.

To check status of your transfer, see this message in a recent thread:??/g/GroupManagersForum/topic/23672413#10386

I mean the request to join the Yahoo group was never received so that I could accept it.?

As I understood the instructions, I need to send an invitation to join the Yahoo Group to [email protected]. That message has not appeared at the Yahoo Group.?

Now that I read the process again, I think I understand that it’s a bit different from inviting an individual to join a Yahoo Group. I need to wait for ?to ask to join the Yahoo Group.?

I’ll wait, but I’m going to be away the first two weeks of August. Will I need to start over mid-August? Or will ?wait days to be accepted at Yahoo?

?That doesn't ever happen with an Invite; an invite constitutes acceptance. ?All than needs to happen is for the recipient to accept the invitation.

?The only place it would appear in the Yahoo Group is in the Activity log.

Now that I read the process again, I think I understand that it’s a bit different from inviting an individual to join a Yahoo Group.

?It differs primarily in that there is an automation receiving the invitations and making note of that fact on the In Process page for that transfer.? But the automation does not attempt to accept the invitation.
?

?Once the transfer agent accepts the invitation you'll get the standard new member has joined notification, if you've enabled that as one of your moderator notices.

?I think the transfer agent will wait indefinitely for you to promote it to Moderator and then give the "go ahead" via the In Process page.?

Thanks, Shal.?

My Yahoo Groups have been very slow the last couple of years. It looks like I was a bit foggy on the process. It’s been a long time since I invited anyone to join.

The agent will not join your group on its own.?You, as a YAHOO GROUP owner, MUST send the transfer agent ([email protected]) an invitation.?

If you don't know how to send an invitation, see?? If you are not the Yahoo group owner (or a Moderator with the member invite permissions), then you need to find another subscriber who is.?

Hope this helps,
Bruce

I had a similar issue a couple of weeks ago, I resent the invitation a couple of days later and it went thru.? I chalked it up to Yahoo issues.? Which is why we moved all or our groups over.
