migration question

catherine martell #22218 Hello, Colloquy migrated from Yahoo groups not long ago. Yahoo groups is going to delete at least some of our archive in December. Did posts (photos and files) to the forum page not via email migrate to Groups.io or should I perform the download yahoo is offering to preserve our history? Cathy Martell
Shal Farley Member Profile All Messages By This Member #22220 Cathy, Did posts (photos and files) to the forum page not via email migrate to Groups.io ... That depends. Does "migrate" mean that you (or someone owning/modding that group) used the Easy Yahoo Groups Transfer mechanism? If so, they did, unless the person running the transfer deselected them in the transfer controls. Unless by "not long ago" you mean it is process now, I'm curious why you need to ask. Is there some reason you can't tell by looking at the content in the group here? or should I perform the download yahoo is offering to preserve our history? That, or PG Offline. For $25 it is cheap insurance: Personally I've had zero luck with the offered download from Yahoo. My first two attempts both yielded a notice that there was zero content this for an account which has been active in multiple groups since 2003. An attempt under a different Yahoo Account is still pending. Others have reported receiving a link to an archive containing all of their groups' content. So your mileage may vary. I won't worry much about the Yahoo download, as I have what I want via PG Offline. Still, it is annoying not to see what others see.

Frances All Messages By This Member #22221 Cathy? If you used Groups.io's transfer, this is what should have transferred: 5. What gets transferred using the Transfer Agent? message archives, properly owned and properly threaded, (without attachments, however), photos, files, links and databases. Calendar entries are not copied at this time. Subscribers (members) are also transferred, maintaining their subscription options and ownership of each message and other group content. Those with "no mail" status in YG migrating to a Groups.io group with "no mail" disabled will have Special Notice status instead. It is up to you, of course. Please do check whether it is group-wide or just your own personal posts, photos, etc. Frances -- FAQ on Moving from YahooGroups GMF Wiki: (unofficial) Help for members (and would-be members) and group managers

I've had the same experience with Yahoo's offered download "Your download request has been completed, but no data of this type is available in your account."? After 20 years of being active in groups you'd think that there might be something...... I've paid my $25 and used PGOffline to grab stuff from groups that look as though they are going to disappear :(? Penny
