Re: How to fully migrate a Yahoo group to here?
Mike, We have a members-only Yahoo group that has developed a major problem, in that we can't post or view photos on it.? The
one bit of bad news is that if you can't access your Yahoo Group's
photos, there's a good chance that the Easy Group Transfer agent won't
be able to either. So your transfer might not include your archive of
Photos. The
good news is that if the Yahoo Group's Photos section does become
available again you can re-run the transfer and select to transfer only
the Photos section. Yahoo Help shows a very large number of complaints about the photo problem, and they apparently seem totally content to not fix it. ? Yahoo Groups has been officially unsupported for a few years now. That said, the operations people over there have been fixing things like message delivery and access problems with Files and Photos, but not always promptly. ?Shal -- Help: /static/help More Help: /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki Even More Help: Search button at the top of Messages list |

Re: How to fully migrate a Yahoo group to here?
Ken,
As Duane and Bruce pointed out, there is now the requirement to pre-pay one year of Premium in order to use the Easy Group Transfer method. After that year your group can be allowed to automatically revert to Basic (free) if you decide not to extend the Premium service. If there's any value to the time and effort it will save you, then it is a very good deal. Also, it goes to support Groups.io as a product - which does not have advertising or other means of support. No ads, none of the tracking and use of your personal information that goes with advertising. OTOH, you can still DIY the transfer for free. You'll have to copy the content of your Yahoo Group yourself and upload it yourself. Downloading your Y!Group can be made easier by use of 's PG Offline product. For the members list you can invite them for free, or for one month of Premium ($10) you can use the Direct Add feature.

you might well find that you need a paid - for group rather than a free oneAs of February 13, 2019, all transfers require a Premium group for at least one year.? I believe Mark did this after the last YG! glitch to make it worthwhile to spend the time figuring out how to make things work again.

That move would have to include everything (membership, conversations, files, photos, attachments, and everything else).A transfer won't include attachments.? You should read through the procedure at /yahootransfer, as well as checking the WIki pages on this group, beginning with /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Transfer-from-Yahoo-Groups ? One thing I'd check on for your group is the amount of storage used by Photos.? It sounds like you may be using a lot, so you'll want to make sure they'll fit here.? You do have the option of automatically reducing the size when they're transferred, if that won't make them unusable for your purposes. I think you'll find that folks here will be glad to help you figure out the details to make the transfer as easy as possible.

Suggestion Box.
Hi All!
I am very new to Groups.io. My first duty is to thank Groups.io for providing us with the opportunity to create special interest Groups. I have just created a group that involves the uploading of many images and something that would be beneficial to my group is the ability to group image types?into folders within a folder thereby short circuiting the process of accessing a certain subject area. I have looked for something that could be best described as a "Suggestion Box" but have not found anything. It is my hope that someone could direct me to a suggestion box, or that the administrators of Groups.io see this post and would explore the possibility of being able, within the "Photos" section, to create folders within folders. Thank-you!! Best regards, Chris !? |

Newbie is here. Is there any way I can automate the adds into the appropriate subgroups when people signup to my organization through a web form.For Premium/Enterprise groups, I believe this is possible using the groups.io Applications Program Interface (API). However, that requires a skill set that I don't have.?There is a group for this at?. It does not see very much activity. Instead, what we do is have the web form post an email to a "member management" subgroup via an email integration. Someone subsequently follows up on those messages to Direct Add the applicant to the group(s). I hope this helps, but it probably doesn't. ?

Re: Verifications.io
SIRMick,
Is verifications.io connected to groups.io ...It is a common misconception that groups.io might be related to something else .io - but in fact that's akin to wondering if yahoogroups.com is related to any other .com company. The only connection is that they lease their domain name from the same Top Level Domain (TLD) registrar. In the case of .io that's a British company operating on behalf of the British Indian Ocean Territory - the io in .io stands for "Indian Ocean", though the similarity to the computer term I/O (Input/Output) is undoubtedly what inspires many of those who choose it.
