Having paid up and requested a transfer, Yahoo is refusing to send an invite saying "[email protected] : Invalid email address"

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Graham.

I just wanted to add to Joseph's reply.

You only need one GIO account and the account is not basic or premium,
it's just an account and it's free. The premium group subscriptions
are separate and are not the same as your GIO account that you can use
to join or create other groups with.

If you plan to use subgroups, be aware that for people to belong to a
subgroup, they will need to be members and join the main group. I
believe that (and someone here can correct me if I'm wrong) they will
see all the messages in the main group and only the messages in the
subgroup(s) they join. If that's a problem, then you will want to open
3 groups. Whether you need to get a year's premium group subscription
for the other groups if you do that is up to you (how important is it
to transfer everything over?). If it's OK for everyone to see the
posts in the main group, then maybe subgroups will work for you. If
you need everything to stay separated then you will want separate
groups.

One thing I don't know is if you would need to pay again to transfer a
separate Yahoo group to your main group. You might ask customer
service here. It would seem to me that Mark wouldn't transfer three
groups into one for just one payment. But you should ask before you
pay for a premium group.

I created several new groups a couple of days ago to make sure that
the old ones will continue on with some storage. It's also good to be
able to search past posts but only in two I've been asked if we can
take up a collection to get the money for a premium membership.

When a new subscriber wants to join my group, I receive the request twice.

Do you have two subscriptions (both set to owner or moderator status) to the same group using different email addresses? If the answer to that is yes then I suggest that you check what notifications are checked to be sent to each of them, and turn one of them (the "secondary" one) off.

There is a "sticky" topic on the web UI for this group (GMF) Follow the link in it. The topic in question is also here: /g/GroupManagersForum/topic/faq_on_transferring_from/35241417?p=,,,20,0,0,0::recentpostdate%2Fsticky,,,20,2,0,35241417.

Tim -- I'm going to give you a second answer to your question, based on the way you worded your subject line.

Perhaps it will add more clarity...or not.

A single email address ("your account") can own any number of groups. Those groups can be in any combination of the different plans: Basic, Premium or Enterprise.?The account itself is not on any payment plan -- the groups are.

For example, I own/co-own four groups:

1. One is a Premium group that we use for our Astronomy club.
2. The club has a separate group on the Basic plan for our board of directors, which itself has a subgroup for club member management.
3. A third primary group on the Basic plan supports a particular type of telescope mount.
4. My final Basic group is for my extended family members here in Indiana to communicate with each other (at least in theory).?

Now, if I needed to transfer all four those groups here from Y!G, each primary group would have to pay a separate fee for Premium Yearly. I would not have to pay the fee for the member-management subgroup.

So it would cost me $440 to have the transfer agent do that.

In short, when you pay the $110 for a transfer, you are upgrading the destination?group to Premium Yearly, not your account.

Hope this helps,
Bruce

Hello,
I'm a total groups.io novice.? I've run a U.S.Army Yahoo group for 15 years.? We have over 60,000 messages and 1150 members.?
How do I transfer the messages and member list to Groups.IO ???
I'm not concerned with attachments inside the messages - I've heard they don't transfer and that doesn't matter.
Any help (e.g. a guide?) would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Newbie question from a soon to be former YahooGroup owner.?

We currently have four YahooGroups. One could probably be a subgroup of another as there is a good degree of joint membership and similar topics. ?However, there are three distinct groups. ?Do I need three Group.io accounts??

I tried searching this (excellent) ?forum but did not see the answer. ?

Thanks?

Hi,

Thanks Francis - found it! ?Just assumed it would still be under “Admin”!?

X

Thanks Duane.? A few hiccups here and there are no big deal.? ;)

To the mod who made this note:

[Mod Note: If no additional posts are made since the previous Digest was sent, groups.io does not send an empty "overnight digest."]

Thx.? As I mentioned in my post, we had eight messages posted (we're not a high volume Group) since the last Digest.

Cheers,

So is there a paid service above the $110 that could port that data over?

No.

Or is there an explanation why that can not be done?

It has never been an option within the transfer process, and I believe if it could have been done, Mark would have put it in place a long time ago.

Bruce

OK, thanks for the simple one word Responce of NO.?

So is there a paid service above the $110 that could port that data over? Or is there an explanation why that can not be done? I’m NOT a coder, but if PG Offline can pull that data and display it in that application, why can it not also be imported here to retain that relationship of attachments to comments?

Out site is a support site for vintage aircraft and many use Photos to explain issues, so all of that will be lost coming to this platform

Does the full backup from PG Offline help keep attachments? Can your service use that data to make a full transfer?

No.

The other thing to be aware of is that admins are proposing to transfer EU subscribers in an illegal manner. At least one one admin is proposing to transfer his whole membership however specific permission is needed to transfer personal information such as an email address from Yahoo to groups.io.

In my opinion groups.io should not be allowing such a transfer from Yahoo.

Roger -- Groups.io provides some relevant tools. There is an option on the transfer page to enter the email addresses of those who opt out of the transfer. Such subscribers are not transferred, nor is any of their content. Those who object afterward may also have all their content deleted, simply by clicking on a link.?

I believe these recent features were added at the request of groups.io legal counsel. See also?/static/compliance

Having said all that, I am not an attorney...I was not consulted on this, nor were those discussions shared with anyone outside of groups.io's inner circle. GMF is a technical support forum and we need to get back to providing that support to those who need our assistance.?

Hope this helps,
Bruce
