Re: Two Groups Merged During Transfer from Yahoo #transfer

This needs to be reported to [email protected] . Mark is the one to straighten this out.

I'm going to take a guess that this transfer may have been started before the "Start New Transfer" button on the Yahoo Transfer page was instituted. Part of the reason for using the new form was to try to keep those things straight where Y! groups were transferring to groups.io but the group name had already been taken by someone else. But the form provides a double check on source and destination for other transfers as well. Seeing some of the twists and oddities he's dealing with, I completely agree that Mark needs a little vacation. And somehow he manages all this with outward patience and calm. He's a far greater man than I am... Dano ----- Original Message -----
During a transfer yesterday of members and files to new group from Yahoo, they somehow were merged into an already existing group instead of the intended one. How did this happen, how do I prevent it in the future and how do I correct this error? The new group to which the members and files should have gone is Pacificon.groups.io. The group they all went to by mistake is MDARCTech.groups.io. The members and files came from Pacificon.yahoo.com. Thankx for the help, Mike |
