I believe that's entirely possible. When doing the paid transfers, do one for each group, but use the same destination subgroup. To minimize the possibility of problems, I'd only transfer one at a time. If you're doing it manually, it becomes more tedious and you can't actually import the messages without6 resending each one.

I am currently in the waiting line for my first group migration. (Sent out the [email protected] invitation yesterday, nothing back yet. It’s mega busy probably!) Once this groups has been successfully transferred I’ll try the next one with the same destination and see what happens. :)
Send out the invitation to <[email protected]> from each of your YahooGroups now.
So you won't have to wait for invitations to be accepted before giving the 'go ahead' to start the transfer each YahooGroups one at a time

This is normal when using the link in an email. You need to use the Reply function of your email client in order to have content included.

Re: Migration complete! Have hope!

 

Good to hear. Can you be more specific when you said you kicked this off "last week"? What day, specifically? Your group sounds like mine, albeit mine has about 5 times as many folks in it.

Some good news for all of you anxious about your migration from Yahoo.

I'm happy to report that last week I created my first forum here, upgraded to Premium for $110, and then initiated the steps for Groups.io to do the migration:/static/transferԻ/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Transfer-from-Yahoo-Groups.

Be sure to carefully read and follow the steps on the above pages.

Today our new is fully migrated and active, including:

  • 7,000 messages, properly owned and properly threaded
  • 1,300 members
  • 100 MB of files, attachments, and photos

Given the workload that Yahoo's closure is causing, and differences in forums, your results may be different.

But, have hope! Migration WORKS and the team at is clearly working to clear the backlog.

There are programs available elsewhere to download/archive a Yahoo group. Several have been mentioned in other posts recently.

Re: Threading/Conversations

 

If you're replying from the email you've received, how much quoted text you have may depend somewhat on the email handler you use. On mine (I use OEClassic) it's set up to include the entire message as quoted text. I simply click on Reply and the original message appears with room at the top for adding a reply. After all, the message came from the group and you're replying to that address. You don't need to select anyone else because the groups.io system handles all that. After I've input my reply I scroll down and remove as much of the quoted material as I think is appropriate before sending.

For a person who's getting a message with no quoted text, click on "View/Reply Online" link in the message footer, which will open up the entire thread on the web page.

I hope this helps.

----- Original Message -----

We currently have a Yahoo group with about 300 users. I setup a Groups.io group and added 10 users as a test. When using Reply to Group to reply to an email the content from other replies is removed. For those users with Threading or Conversations enabled this is OK. However for users without Threading or Conversations enabled they only see that reply which can be very confusing.
What is the recommended procedure?

Re: Format for file names

 

Excellent, that solved the problem. Go to Internet Options, Security, Custom Level, and disable Include local directory path when uploading files to a server.� Hopefully this doesn't create another problem someplace else.

And there is a workaround. I tried uploading via my iPad and it worked properly.

Many thanks!

There is also an IE option under:

  • In "Internet" or "Intranet" click on Custom Level
  • In the Security Settings scroll down until you see Include local directory path when uploading files to a server� and disable it.

Ullman -- A this point I have to ask the obvious:

Could you have Photos>Permissions set to "subscribers cannot view" in your Settings?

I'm finding it difficult to rectify this possibility with the error message you've passed along, though.

See also. Could this be related?

Re: Reassurance please - is this in process?

 

Yes, I gave it the green button. That was on Friday.

There is 10 years of content and 4700+ members so I might be waiting a bit longer than that. :)

I suspect you'll find yourself done within 24 hours. You can be anxious or excited about that, your choice.:-)

Re: Format for file names

 

Good info, thanks. I did not realize that you could edit a file name this way. It does work on my setup. But it would be burdensome if you had to change each file name after you uploaded the file, especially if you were uploading a bunch of files at one time. I would think there is something in the group settings that might affect the way this is handled (I am the group owner), but if it's there I can't find it.

Hi

I just double-checked what I do and here's what I found.
On my Mac computer, it will show the suffix but only that.
However, I can edit the file name that is displayed after the file is uploaded. Click on the update icon beside the name and edit and click update, include taking out the .pdf or .pages

I don't know why it initially displays the full path when you do it though. Possibly your computer setup?

Just note that any single entry [read: line] not conforming with either standard will throw an error and fail to be processed.

Re: Format for file names

 

Jerry, I would edit the names when I create the PDF. (Might be different with your OS.)
However, you can edit the names now - yes, tedious with so many, but doable.
Use the Update icon beside each file.
