Reposting untransferred Yahoo posts to Groups.io?

Butch7999 All Messages By This Member #24778 Hello, new member here (left Yahoo six years ago but now escorting new Yahoo refugees)...? I hope this forum can assist with two questions...? ?these have probably been addressed here in just the last few days, but, apologies, I'm not up to searching 3,000 November posts for the answers...? One, does anyone have any insight as to response time from Groups.io tech support?? We've had our next question as well as some less urgent business submitted as support tickets over there [ https://groupsio.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/ ] for more than two weeks now with still no reply at all as of yet.? GIO tech support responded quite promptly to our questions during the transfer of a Yahoo forum to Groups.io in late October, so we're a little disturbed by the ongoing silence now.? We note that the GIO tech support page indicates priority in reply is given to groups.io Premium Service subscribers, which we thought was what we paid for when we signed up for the data transfer. Two, during the couple of weeks between the time we paid for the transfer of data from our old Yahoo forum to our new groups.io forum, messages at our Yahoo forum continued to pour in and be approved for posting.? Those later messages, obviously, were not harvested in the data transfer.? The question here is how best to collect those Yahoo posts and post them to our new GIO forum so that, like the posts transferred by groups.io,? they are posted at the new site showing the actual original sender's screenname and/or Yahoo ID and/or e-mail sending address, and not instead the screenname / Yahoo ID / e-mail of the group moderator reposting those messages.? Any assistance or insight will be much appreciated.? _________________________________________?

Frances All Messages By This Member #24784 As Duane said, it can't be done.? However you could just save them and make them available as a file. See 10 b) for some ideas. It won't be the same - not with each email attributed to the right person, etc. though. /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/FAQ-on-Moving-from-Yahoo-Groups Frances -- FAQ on Moving from YahooGroups GMF Wiki: (unofficial) Help for members (and would-be members) and group managers

I'm not in the know, but I'm guessing that groups.io peeps are frantically trying to transfer groups whilst yahoo groups is messed up and isn't letting them do the transfers -- that's why I would guess groups.io isn't currently responding to support queries. 2)? a group we transferred last year, but the then-owner didn't want to move the current conversations yet -- so, there was a groups.io transfer, which effectively backed-up the group, then some months of further activity on the yahoo group, then we convinced the owner to let us move the activity -- so there was a couple months gap, on our groups.io home -- one of the mods went through the messages on the yahoo group, and copied/saved-as-pdfs, ones that were worth saving, then we put them in the Files of the groups.io group.
Butch7999 All Messages By This Member #24788 Gesine, Frances, Duane, thank you for the replies, disappointing as the news seems to be.? I take it that there's no way to accomplish the task in question using some method involving an .mbox download/upload?? _____________________________________________?

If you have an such an mbox file (or collection of them) from Y!Group's getmydata function, hold onto it. Or request one well before Yahoo's Dec 14th cutoff. There may in the future be a way to use it to update your Groups.io group's messages, but nothing like that has been announced. I don't think we'll hear much about this until well after the Yahoo furor dies down. One factor may be what to do about messages in the mbox that are already transferred to your group - you may be required to trim those out of the mbox file or risk having them become duplicated in your Groups.io group. For now, an alternative such as putting the messages into a file for members to access may be the best bet.
