I am a owner/moderator and subscriber of various io groups and I am transferring a group this week. I was wondering when the members of my Y group will get a notification email to switch over if I initiate the transfer today? Still running 2 weeks in queue?
(all preliminary steps have been completed).
I only have 150 members and will be meeting many of them this Sunday at our monthly meeting to announce the switch. I would rather them receive an email from me rather than groups first but don't want to delay.
Thank you in advance
Bill Bradley
I don't think anything replaces a message from you to the original Y! group sent as a "Special "Message" so all receive it... if for no other reason than that they should hear it from you first... and should hear it BEFORE it happens. Whether they ALL read any message you send (or that Gio sends later) is questionable, but that's the same for a message via Yahoo vs one via Groups.io.
I suggest a "Special Message" sent to the Y! group ASAP... followed by an announcement and maybe a Q&A session on Sunday. And later on some will still be completely surprised.
Just my 2 cents.
