I am a moderator to a yahoo group.? I have access to everything except making a member a moderator.? ? The owner cannot remember his password.?
Who would i talk to to allow the transfer to use my login and password to accomplish the transfer???

As far as we know, you can't.? You could try emailing [email protected], but they're snowed under, so it may take quite awhile to get a response.

Jim -- If you don't have the necessary permissions to promote the transfer agent, there is nothing you can do to make this work.

See??for instructions on how to reset a password. Contact the Owner again and have him go through that process. I know Y!G has been collecting cell phone numbers of late and perhaps his password can be reset through that mechanism.

Failing that, the green box at the top of that page has a link where he can sign up for priority phone support (at $4.99 per month).?

There is no way for anyone within groups.io to help you with this.?Someone on your end must give the transfer agent sufficient access. If your group's data cannot be read, it cannot be transferred.?

Regards,
Bruce


 

we resolved all of that... I am now the owner.? ?i have resubmitted the transfer request.? ?the actions taken with [email protected] being a member has all taken place.? ?you are are taking my money so fix it or tell me what is missing..

First, this is a peer-to-peer help group. No owners here.

Second, isn't this your post earlier today -?/g/GroupManagersForum/message/25695

You need to pay for a year if you want to be transferred (if you are lucky).

Otherwise just figure out another strategy. Get a download from Yahoo. Or use the Chrome browser, etc. etc.?
In the FAQ on moving from Yahoo Groups.

Or just use your month to "direct add" your members from your YG and then go to the free version of Groups.io

Jim,

You don't seem to be hearing us when we tell you that GMF is a user-to-user community - no Groups.io employees here.

At this point you are so far behind the 8-ball that your only hope of resolving your situation is to explain it to [email protected] and ask them for help. It may be that the only help they can give you at this point is to refund your payment.

Meanwhile:

Take the advice to capture your group's content via PG Offline and via getmydata - while you still can. Yahoo has issued the final call for data downloads:

To repeat what Shal said earlier, we are not groups,io, we are a
self-help group. If you need customer support you need to contact
them.

About PG Offline. Assuming that you're too late to get your group
messages transferred, if you want to move your Y!G messages, you can
purchase PG Offline to download all the messages from all of your
groups. For the one you want to transfer, you will then need to
purchase PGO-2-GIO, which is in development but is looking pretty good
(I'm beta testing it) but has some work that needs to be done yet.

The latter program will use what you've downloaded in PG Offline and
upload it slowly to your GIO group. If you haven't opened the group to
others yet, you can upload them into the main group. If there are
members already, you would need to create a subgroup and upload them
there.

Both progams can also work with files and photos. Be aware that if
your GIO group is not a premium one, you are limited to 1 GB total for
photos and files. I had to delete some stuff in one ham radio group to
fit it on GIO after downloading it from the Y!G. PGO-2-GIO can't get
around that limitation magically. If your GIO group is a premium one,
you're limited to 10 GB, I believe.

Don't wait for PGO-2-GIO to be finished before Dec 14 to purchase both
together (though it may be ready before then). You need PG Offline NOW
to get your group's content NOW. You can upload the content PG Offline
archived for you anytime since you will have already downloaded it
before Dec 14.

Keep that date in mind, and don't assume Yahoo won't have some
problems before then that might get in the way of downloading content.
If you wait until the last minute, Yahoo may be overloaded and ruin
your attempt to get the group content archived.

In other words, get started now unless you find that GIO support will
take care of moving your group, but find that out ASAP and don't drop
the ball. If they can't help you but you paid for premium to get the
transfer, ask for a refund. I believe Mark is giving refunds to those
who are affected.

I hope this is helpful. The trial version of PG Offline is limited to
1,000 files, photos, or messages. It's just to show that it works, not
to allow you to do everything for free. PG Offline is $24.95.
PGO-2-GIO will cost more than that, and there is a fee based on how
many total messages that you will be transferring to GIO. But it will
end up costing you a lot less than the $220 per group that GIO was
offering until they cut off transfers.

To download the program or learn more, see these web pages:





I suggest viewing the video demo at the bottom of the page at the
second link.
