If that was the case, you'd get a message saying "Sorry, but that group does not exist." when you type it into the address bar.

Actually, Mark is one of the two founders of ONElist, which was merged with egroups, which sold to Yahoo.? If you have any interest, you can read the story of ONElist at

Another possibility that happened over a year ago is that someone created a group expecting to transfer to groups.io but then decided against moving and

then deleted the new group.? At the time the name could not be used again.? The workaround was to change the groupname before deleting the group.?

Then the original name was?available for reuse.? I had to do that twice, but others did not plan as well.

You can copy and paste the messages from an email to an email form, or to the message board at Groups.io. Both options mean resending them.? I have one group I am moving manually that has about 100 messages are less that I want to move. I have been copying and pasting frpm Yahoo board to my new group's message board.? Only the ones worth seeing again.

You could also try forwarding them, but that also will be reposting a message your group has already seen. Depends on how valuable they are to the group and their value for future reference.

FAQ on Moving from YahooGroups
GMF Wiki: (unofficial) Help for members (and would-be members) and group managers

Granted, I've only been here for a day, so maybe I missed something (or a lot of things).

But with all this talk about folks' spot in the transfer queue changing, I'm wondering where you're accessing that info?

Thanks,
Brad

Looks like you have a space between the dot and io. Try copying and pasting the posting address from your group info on the home page.

Or just retype the address without the space.

Happened to us as well.? When we signed up at $110 and was informed the transfer would be in about 7 days.? We completed our end.? Went slowly from 56 down to 52 today.? This afternoon it is now up to 177 in line.? On my billing it says it will renew at $110/year.? Will see if that gets erased, but I kept a copy of the billing and screen capture.? At $220 a year we will just build our own forum software.

Don't know if it is true but on Yahoo it is said the current owners of groups.io were the previous owners of egroups which sold out to yahoo to form yahoogroups.? That was a good sale because egroups sold to yahoo for $432 Million.? I suspect if groups.io gets pumped up over 24 months from an unknown site to a yahoo replacement , they can sell for in the range of $125-150 Million.

A solution to identity issues is to purchase your own domain name and point it to what ever forum you wish.? since you own the domain name and if you use correct domain settings they only thing the visitors will see is the domain name.? That is what we did.?

I expect there will be competitors in this market popping up in the next 12 months.

Thanks. The green GO button only appeared a few hours after making Groups.io a moderator. It did appear, but was not there in earlier steps. Guess I got impatient!

Change your subscriptions using Advanced Preferences. I suggest first of a thread only.

I joined the GMF message forum today with a specific question and now my inbox is full of every question and response from GMF on other topics. How do I stop them from coming to my inbox? If I want to find a topic I can just go to the message forum and search.
Thanks,
Mary

Is it pretty easy for me to paste in what you wrote for future reference?

It sounds to me like you skipped a step someplace.? There won't be anything in the box if you haven't started a transfer.

BTW, no one in this group can do any more than any other user of the site since we don't work for Groups.io.

Hi Duane,
Can I get help because it is not working.
I have an account [email protected], and is 1 year paid account and I followed the easy group instructions and the Detailed instructions /g/GroupManagersForum/message/19673
and I can not get step 11 to show it worked. I verified (by sending requests to other emails) that the yahoo group is sending the request but I do not get groups.io to acknowledge the request. Can you fix my account / group so it will work?

Darci

Probably a result of the change that Mark just announced:

There's a brief mention of it waaay down at the bottom of /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Quick-Start-for-Group-Formation just above number 5, but not all the details that I mentioned are included.

Yesterday when Mark added the sub-transfer statuses my group was at step 3, and 33rd in the queue. At some point this afternoon I checked and we were 32nd. I just checked again and it's showing we're number 142. Can 110 people really have paid the extra $200 to Expedite their transfer just in the last couple of hours? I'm gobsmacked.

Thanks much! Is this information in the Wiki somewhere? I did look but didn't see it.

So if I type in a name and it brings up another group with a different name, does that definitely mean that group has an alias of the name I typed in?

Yes, that's the only way it can happen if you type the name directly into the address bar.? If it were an actual group, even if hidden on the directory, you'd be taken to that group.
