Re: Message "gap" during transfer?
To negate any problem arising from this happening one of our Yahoo Moderators has joined his personal website mailbox to the Yahoo Group so that it will receive all emails, it will also cover in case Yahoo stop archiving messages after the 28th Oct Sheila Constantine One Name study Constantine@...

I'm in the process of transferring our Yahoo group and I was wondering about messages to the group that are sent _after_ I make the transfer account a moderator in Yahoo, but _before_ the "Your transfer is done" confirmation.? Do I have to do anything to make sure that there are no left-over messages on Yahoo that didn't get transferred? Thanks! Dan |

¿ªÔÆÌåÓýHi Bruce, ? I did click go ahead probably 3 times over the last few days. The transfer page shows that the group is not been even accepted but initially when you do it, it shows up but not now when you revisit the page. ? The only thing is the Groupsio transfer member was install about 9 months ago into our group and has the moderator rights. ? What else can I do as I feel our model railway club has been suckered in! ? Cheers Chris ? From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Bruce Bowman ?

Re: A few questions about the yahoo change
Mine too, but as of a few minutes ago, transfer is still not a member. My transfer status was accepted and they are ready to proceed but I cannot make transfer a moderator if he is not a member. <grin> Hoping for better results tomorrow. Susan P Susan, The first time I tried to invite to join my YG I had the same issue. Long story short, I believe the problem was a typo on my part. I may well have sent the first invite to groups.i.o. (note the extra period). I suspected, and Don strongly suggested, that if the transfer status bar on the page didn't acknowledge receipt of my invitation then they probably didn't get it. So, I sent a second invitation, taking extra care with the address, and the transfer status bar on the .io page very quickly changed to a confirmation that my invitation had been received.? -- deborah -- Deborah |

¿ªÔÆÌåÓýThe transfer instructions say after the invitation is approved and moderator status is achieved, go to somewhere and give the ¡°go ahead¡± to start the transfer. ?Also important, apparently, is to stop new topics at YG before you give this go ahead.I am confused as to where and how to give this go ahead.

Re: Notice of Pricing Change
Duane,
How do you understand this part: 3. All new basic (non-premium) groups are required to be premium groups if they have, or acquire, more than 500 members or more than 3 subgroups. (Basic groups in existence before October 22 at 9AM remain unlimited for now; however, next year we will be looking at readjusting our pricing structure and moving away from a flat rate fee and towards a more equitable per-member cost. We will keep you posted about all of this as we work through the process.)Does this mean that free groups are going to be eliminated? Or does it mean that IF you are required to be a premium group (> 500 members / 3 subgroups), then the fee is going to an adjusted per-member rate rather than a flat fee for all group sizes and types? Thanks, Su |
Group transfer
#yahoo
Another question on group transfers. I am the owner of a group that transferred from Yahoo to Google groups a couple of years ago but kept the Yahoo for the archives. The membership is no longer the same. So I don't want to transfer over the members but I do want to bring over the archives to save them.
We're also not yet ready to move the current lists from G-groups over to Groups.io and I don't want to create a lot of confusion with the automatic emails that members will receive if I do add them here. I will be adding a core group of members now but most will be added later. What happens to the ownership of the archived messages if I request a transfer WITHOUT transfer of the members? Will they still show the original posters, even if those originals don't "own" the posts any more? And does it matter? I did just upgrade the group to Premium after seeing Bruce's post about that this afternoon. Thanks for that! Thanks, Su |

Re: How to create a new member sign up questionnaire
One thing I really liked in Yahoo was the simple form that let people tell me why they want to join. This was built into the join request. Ibwould like to see tgat here. I do not need a questionnaire. I have 4 genealogy groups. I want to know how the prospective member is related to whatever ancestors we are researching.? My group description asks them they need to give their name and their connection to the family before being approved. At Yahoo that was easy. Because there is a box for tge applicant to add info. I rarely had to do a follow up email!
