Re: Wrong "welcome" message being sent

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 ¡ª 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.

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 |

I'm struggling to understand this - can anyone help?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. ;>) Duane -- Help: /static/help GMF's Wiki: /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki Search button at the top of Messages list A few site FAQs: /static/pricing#frequently-asked-questions |

Re: Wrong "welcome" message being sent
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? Active Message - a tick box Use this message.
You can also delete a message you don't want. Frances -- FAQ on Moving from YahooGroups GMF Wiki: (unofficial) Help for members (and would-be members) and group managers |

Re: Notice of Pricing Change
Few welcome price increases, but upon reflection I am happy to see people supportive of Mark and Group.io.? I am sympathetic to the growing pains he¡¯s experiencing.? Think of somebody being stuffed like a goose!? Or suffering a drought and being flooded out. Too much of a good thing - and what awaits? ?We all have a stake in his success, including not being pressed to dilute his company ownership position ill advisedly while desperately seeking bridge funding.? Failing, and we all have to move again.? Think about that!

Re: Detailed Instructions on How to Conduct a Yahoo Transfer
My only feedback on these excellent suggestions is that Step 12 may no longer be the longest step in the process, at least not until the Great Migration is done.?? :) On Thu, Oct 24, 2019 at 12:12 PM Janis <jhurstartist@...> wrote: Awesome, Bruce!

Re: Can not get transfer request to show up in the "In Process" list

my question is when does groups.io update the box with the "We've received the invite...."That may happen as soon as the invitation is sent.? Mark mentioned that the system compares invitations to requested transfers.? If you haven't requested a transfer, the invitation will get tossed in the bit bucket because you didn't follow the instructions.? It gets updated again when the invitation is accepted.

Re: You have 1 transfer in process or completed
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýHi Shal,?
Thanks for getting back to me.
On the Easy Yahoo Group Transfer page (with the red notice on the top) I followed instructions under Steps to Transfer Your Group, in order, through step 5 (including the one year payment)
When returning to the page (step 6) and selecting the Yahoo group from the drop down and then clicking on it, nothing happens, but the message under the drop says the transfer is in process.
Do I just start over or am I being impatient? See the image below.

You click on the drop-list to open it, then click on the name of the Yahoo Group to access its status page. > I have not seen this message in any of the FAQs or the > instructions..... Have a closer look at the sequence of screen shots in this Wiki Page: /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Transfer-from-Yahoo-Groups You'll recognize the Subject text of this message from the screen shots showing the bottom of the transfer instructions page. There's also an example of the drop-list open to show a list of five transfers, some completed, some not. Shal |

I couldn't find anywhere in the setup to accomplish that, so how do I get rid of the "Join" button?You can't on free or premium groups.? You might be able to if you had an Enterprise group.? I'm in a similar situation, secretary of a club.? I've created a canned "Rejected Subscription" type of Member Notice and made it active.? When someone that I don't recognize tries to join, I just reject the application.? It basically says: "You must be a member of our club to join this group.? Please contact the club secretary at [club email address] for information or if you believe that you're already a member."
