Hi,

I have two Groups:? a test and a live one.? An issue was reported on the live Group that I was able to replicate on the test Group.

The problem is when using an MUA on Android I cannot open the attachment in a Full Featured Digest.? I have tried both Gmail and AquaMail.? They both issue the same error message:? Cannot display PDF (file_name.pdf cannot be opened).

Using my ROM's file manager, I cannot find the file.

I attempted to narrow the problem further and I confirmed I get the same error whether I am logged on to groups.io (via Chrome) or not.

I also tried removing blanks from the file name.? That didn't help either.

Any thoughts?

Thx!

I began the process on Tuesday at 9 PM; that’s when I created my group and paid for the upgrade.

I know how to change the cover photo in i.o., but not how to make it appear as a banner. In YG it automatically was formatted as a banner. I looked in "Help" but couldn't find how to make it a banner, only how to change the photo. What is the trick?

The cover photo is rescaled to 300 pixels in the vertical dimension, or 900 pixels in the horizontal dimension. So if you want the image to span the width of the page you must provide an image with at least a 3:1 aspect ratio.

Hope this helps,
Bruce

Choosing recurring monthly payments is an option for normal Premium access, but is not an option if you expect the transfer agent to move your content for you.

Oh no!? It didn't say that anywhere.? I went with the monthly payment and put in a transfer request.? What do I do now?

Penny -- Send an email to that effect to [email protected]. I'm sure they will fix you up with the proper payment option.

Yes, the group can function while the transfer is in process. We had
ours operating before we started the transfer.

I did mine while it was still free while most people were saying Yahoo
Groups will continue the way they are forever. Now we're dealing with
the aftermath in many groups I don't own but am a member of.

I created new groups for some of those and made an announcement about
the new group, and I invited the current Y!G group owners to contact
me and I would make them owners. Of the few I did that for, only one
is going to do the transfer as of right now, whether or not he gets
enough donations to cover the cost.

Is there no option for a yearly commitment at monthly payments?

Choosing recurring monthly payments is an option for normal Premium access, but is not an option if you expect the transfer agent to move your content for you.

I apologize if this has already been answered, but I searched GMF for "cover photo"? and this particular question didn't come up in the search results. I know how to change the cover photo in i.o., but not how to make it appear as a banner. In YG it automatically was formatted as a banner. I looked in "Help" but couldn't find how to make it a banner, only how to change the photo. What is the trick?

#1 Has anybody actually heard back from groups.io? Heard from a real person? Has anybody gotten word about how long this will take and how much of a back log there? is?

Karen -- You are hearing back from me.

The process is semi-automated so the people doing the transfers don't have to do a lot of hand-holding. I believe the most succinct transfer instructions can be found in this email:??/g/GroupManagersForum/message/8697? But I may be a little biased. :-)

I did send a query request yesterday and did not hear back on that. And that was before I knew we had to go the pay option because I set the account up in 2016 but did not do the move.

I do not know what you might mean by a "query request."

It might take months for them to get through a backlog--there may be 10,000 requests for a transfer.

Or there might not. Many folks are unwilling to pay for the service. Of those who have, several people have reported success with their transfers today.?

#2 Is it really just one guy doing the work?

?

We might lose all functions at Yahoo before our group gets migrated.

I don't know how much help Mark might have. He does not read this group. If you want to know how much of a backlog there is, you could ask a question to that effect in the beta group ().

#3 has anybody done the pay route and gotten the process started--seen stuff moving over yet?

Yes (see above).

#4 Does anybody know if we can start conversing on the new group if we intend to have our emails imported?

Would that mess up the transfer. Do we just sit and wait?

You can start using the target group if you want to. The advantages to waiting until the transfer is complete are negligible.

#5 will we have search ability for our archived Yahoo messages?

If you mean the messages that are transferred by the transfer agent, the answer is yes.?

Thanks for your help and I feel your pain.

The stress level is pretty high for everyone, and it's unfortunate that Yahoo Groups has put so many people in this position.?

Regards,
Bruce

The instructions don't say that after sending the invite you're supposed to click on the Start Group Transfer button on the bottom of the page. I did click on it though, because it's there and it "felt" wrong to just leave the page after just sending the invitation, but now I'm not sure that I should have done that. Do you think I've screwed something up?

Deborah -- I don't think clicking the "Start Group Transfer Process" a second time with empty group fields is going to hurt anything. But you can check status as follows:

Return to the Yahoo groups transfer page and select the transfer you've initiated from the pull-down menu at bottom right. There should be a status banner at the top of the resulting page. Based on what you've told us, it should say something to the effect of "we have received your invitation and will accept it soon, there is no need to send another invite." If you see that, you're fine.

Wait until [email protected]?joins your Yahoo group (you should get an email), and promote it to a Moderator. Instructions for promoting can be found at?.

At that point the button on the same transfer page at lower left should say "Give Go Ahead to Transfer." Click that when you're ready, wait for the process to complete, and (hopefully) rejoice.

Hope this helps,
Bruce

In the mean time, you can probably zip the file so it's encapsulated, and upload that.

Thanks for confirming my fears. Sadly I'm not prepared to wet-nurse them by correcting their errors and omissions, unless it's related to the technicalities of the subject, otherwise I could spend all day doing it and it's for their benefit as much, or more, than mine.I guess I need to find how to make suggested improvements..to .io

Hitherto there has been little discipline amongst members about naming of albums or photos, making searching difficult to say the least.

Sadly there is no reason to expect that to change. As Bruce said you can edit album titles and the like but It can be a lot of work. Just don't ask me how I know...
