The Transfer
|
Stan,
I never got a response that my message was received. Can I just assume they got it? Mark says he set something up to automatically send a message to the Y!Group's -owner address as soon as he receives the Invite. Bottom item here: So have a look in your spam folder or anywhere else an -owner message may have been delivered. That response should happen immediately, whereas the transfer won't actually accept the invitation, and you will not get the "new member" notice, until your turn in the queue.

¿ªÔÆÌåÓýIt took 6 days for my invitation to [email protected] to be accepted.? Within 30 minutes I submitted the EasyGroup Transfer request and that took another 6 days. ken "It has always seemed strange to me," said Doc.

It will probably get worse. We did ours when it only took a few days start to finish. Now those who didn't see YG! in the decline are in a state of panic. But fortunately there's still time. There is the possibility, of course, that YG! could reverse its decline if Verizon decides to fully fund it. But I personally believe that would just be wishful thinking. I think the wait is worth it even if it takes two weeks to get the group transferred. Donald |
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýThat's what I did about six months before the actual files transfer.? The only negative is that YG lists members who joined early lost their earlier YG join date, the EGT did not transfer profiles for members who had already joined the list on groups.io For my list that was 200 out of 1600, however none of the 200 complained; but some people value things like seniority. ken "It has always seemed strange to me," said Doc.

Barb,
I did not receive an automatic acknowledgement that the initialI would wait. But perhaps send a polite note to [email protected] telling them your Y!Group name and the fact that you did not receive the expected notice. You can cite Mark's message in Beta about it: He knows that some people appear not to receive the notice, but may think they've simply not checked their spam folder. IIRC the Y!Groups -owner forwarding has been known to simply drop some messages, possibly because it thinks they might be spam. There's no way to know when that happens.

Donald,
If you started a group on io and later did the transfer from YahooYes. In fact it is required - Step 0. ;-) However, what ken said: when the Y!Group's members are copied in, those email addresses already in the Groups.io group are skipped, so their subscription preferences (individual, digest, etc.) and posting privileges are not copied. Also, message numbers are assigned as the Y!Group messages are copied in, so they will get intermingled with messages being posted in the Groups.io group.

Shal,
"However, what ken said: when the Y!Group's members are copied in, those email addresses already in the Groups.io group are skipped, so their subscription preferences (individual, digest, etc.) and posting privileges are not copied." Question. If a member in YG had a No Email preference, and the No Email preference was not allowed in a Groups.io group, what email preferences would the member have after a transfer? Don |
