I¡¯m in the same situation as you are as an owner of a Yahoo Groups site, and I have already been working on getting our new home ready for transfer. I got our Groups.io group set up first as a really bare bones site, then I invited my one other moderator so we could get a feel for what it will be like. We uploaded a file, a few pictures, worked on making some links in the Wiki page, made settings changes, and studied the differences between the two sites. We also joined GFM to learn what we could, and came to the conclusion Groups.io would be a viable option to move our group too. There are differences for sure between the two sites, and I¡¯m hoping in time Groups.io will improve things. The biggest short comings to me are no regular links page that allows for folders, and the inability to reorder pictures. What I understand about members that you invited to join the test group, is when the transfer is done those members will still be in the new site.

?
Hi I am sure this has already been covered but I could not find anything on a quick search. Our Group is looking to move from Yahoo. There is a lot of interest in Groups.io as an alternative and we have set up a test site to explore it throughly. What are the implications of letting some of our members join the Groups.io test site to see what it is like, if we then decide to move to Groups.io and request a transfer? Will the fact that some of the Yahoo members will already be in the Groups.io make for a problem? Thank you Matty
