Yes, the price changed on Tuesday, October 22 2019 @ 9:00 am PDT.

Also, if I just pay for 1 month of premium and transfer,

You can't do a transfer by upgrading for one month, it has to be for a whole year.

I don't believe there's any way to do that since YG no longer has a Direct Add function.

He's trying to send an email to the group, [email protected], before becoming a member.? He needs to send a blank email to [email protected] and all should be well.

Could be any of them catching it, but my money would be on TrendMicro.? I would expect any program putting up a notice like that to identify itself.

I don't think it takes very long for the notice to change to "We've received the invite..." and update.? Once that happens, you make [email protected] a moderator and continue the process.? If you keep sending invites after one has been accepted, I believe it drops you to the bottom of the list.? People have been reporting that it can take almost 2 days for an invitation to actually be sent by Yahoo, so I'd (try to) be more patient.

Hi-
I just went to pay the $110 to transfer my Yahoo group and see that the price has gone from $110 to $220? Is that true??

Also, if I just pay for 1 month of premium and transfer, will I still have access to my files and archives that transferred over as long as it doesn’t take up more that the allotted amount of space for the Basic plan?

Please advise.
Thanks,
Twinkle

If you make your new Groups.io group a member of the Y!G then any email sent to members will also be sent to the new Group in the normal way. Yes? Or am I wrong?

No, Groups.io will not become a member of the YahooGroup.

You invite [email protected] to become a member of the YahooGroup
when [email protected] accepts the invitation, you must promote [email protected] to become a Moderator of the YahooGroup

[email protected] does not forward YahooGroups emails to Groups.io members

Then when the transfer is done put everyone at Y!G group on moderation and /or no mail. Owner and moderators still get mail and deal with it. This should catch the stragglers and new applicants.

Yes, Owner and Moderators can reject / reply to posts sent to YahooGroup and remind them to use the new Groups.io posting email address

Hi

I have one person who has tried emailing [email protected] and also doing an email reply to an?Invitation I have sent him who receives the following type of email reply.? It is particularly odd as it says he isn't a member of the group and "The following recipients did not receive this message:<[email protected]>" which isn't the email address he sent to. Other people have joined successfully. He is not confident of using the web forms to join so I would like to enable the email method.? Has anyone come across this or a possible solution?

Our transfer from Yahoo went very smoothly---many thanks to the people at groups.io.
One post-transfer issue has come up, in this message from a member:

Hi Duane,
Not that it matters much except for the why.... If it does update the box when it accepts the invite, then it looks like there was a hiccup because transfer@groups was a member of my yahoo group but my box has never updated.

I have deleted the transfer@... and re-set an invite. Maybe this time it will go though smoothly?
I have not seen the email, but basically I guessing give it 30 minutes or so, and keep repeating step 10 (the invite) till I get the email or that box "Existing Transfers" is updated and I see the request. Do I have to get the email and the box updated before the next step? I am a little concerned because it looks like I am now stuck here, invite sent, waited ~30 minutes, second invite but still no response (email or Existing Transfers updating). Should I wait longer than 30 minutes after the invite from yahoo is sent?

Thanks again for your support!

Brad -- Did you change the name before giving the go-ahead, or before setting it up?

If you changed the name at Step 1 of the transfer process, you should be fine. If you changed it at Step 4, I can't imagine any good coming from that.

While waiting for the transfer, I did a Direct Add, and the welcome message that was received did not match the Direct Add welcome message — both in that it didn't include my custom text *and* it gives the incorrect URL (with "test" in the name).

There are several adverse impacts to renaming a group. See?/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Renaming-a-Group

I'm quite concerned that all 1,000 members of the old Yahoo Group will be sent this welcome message with the wrong URL. Is there anything I can do to get this straightened out — before the transfer is complete?

Go to Admin>Settings>Member Notices and edit it. But if I were you, I'd immediately be going to the transfer status page to see if the group names listed remain correct -- and if not, what you can do to fix it. You can fix the welcome message anytime, but you don't want your transfer to hang.

Good luck,
Bruce

Thank you so much. I'm editing the default message now. What a relief! (Gotta start watching for those extra tab choices along the top . . .)

You don't have to do it.? You should consider it if you're using the same email address as owner of the group here that you used on the YG.? To some, the join date is a status symbol.? One reason for (temporarily) making another email address you have the owner here is to preserve all of your "linkage" on the group being transferred - files, photos, etc.? Your account information wouldn't be copied from YG if it already exists here.? Hope this is more clear than it sounds. ;>)

Brad, go to Admin, Settings, the tab for Member Notices and make sure that only the one you want is activated.
Click on the hyperlinked title.
You will see?

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

I'm looking at the checklist for transferring from Yahoo in the wiki and there is a stage that says "Maybe remove your primary email address from your group@ (preserve your Join date)".? I'm struggling to understand this - can anyone help?? I have set up a groups.io group to transfer a Yahoo group, with me as the owner.

• If I remove my email address from the group how can I log in to manage the transfer?
• Is the idea that I use an alternative email address as the owner address?
• Is there a problem in that if the address I used for setting up the groups.io group is also in the Yahoo list it will lose its owner status after the transfer?
• Is there a reason why I would want to preserve my join date?
  

Any help much appreciated.

We originally created our group here containing the word "test" in the name. We have since removed that, at least a day or two before giving the Go Ahead to transfer our Yahoo group. While waiting for the transfer, I did a Direct Add, and the welcome message that was received did not match the Direct Add welcome message — both in that it didn't include my custom text *and* it gives the incorrect URL (with "test" in the name).
