Yahoo Transfer - I there a way to confirm Group is in transfer queue?

 

I applied to start a Yahoo group transfer over 24 hours ago and have not heard back about making GIO an admin to further the transfer process.
Is there a way to confirm that I am in the queue for this?
Thanks,?

You will receive an email at the +owner address of your new group when that point of the process is reached.

The longest delay in the process is waiting for the transfer agent to accept your invitation.?It is a manual step that requires solving a CAPTCHA.

At times, the Yahoo transfer queue has been as much as three weeks deep.

Assuming you have read the link that I provided you previously (here it is again just in case?/g/GroupManagersForum/message/6662).

When you pull down your group name from the "In Process" list, look for a notice at the top of the resulting page. It should say something to the effect that "We have received your invitation and will accept it soon. There is no need to send another invitation."

And so the long wait begins. This is on the premise that Yahoo is working and your invitation actually went out.

Hope this helps,
Bruce

I can attest to a wait of about that long for two of my groups. Probably because groups are fleeing Y! like there's no tomorrow... as well as elsewhere. All I can say is that it was well worth the wait.

haha had to read that a couple times.
I'm apparently still at Step 1.
Two buttons and checkboxes are active.
I guess there's no way to know if GIO has rec'd my invite.?It's been about 48 hours.
Thanks for the insight..

Jean,
I guess there's no way to know if GIO has rec'd my invite.

As Bruce said, there is:



If that grey box at the top of the In Process page says they have, they have. Otherwise you'll need to re-send. Wait at least a few hours since your latest send to give it time to register on the page.

One reason you might need to re-send is if you originally sent the invitation before having competed Step 1. Sending the invitation is Step 2.

Thank you Shal,
I see now I have reached that point - though I wasted a few days in the confusion zone :-(
