Yahoo transfer/Invitations/Subscribe by email conflicts?

#howtoguide #membership

Douglas All Messages By This Member #6111 I signed up this morning to transfer a 600 member group from Yahoogroups (off-line 4 days last week). I've sent the invitation to [email protected]?but haven't received the confirmation, yet. I know yall have a lot of work and a bit of a backlog.? So, I'm wondering, would it cause a problem if I also sent invitations to my members? And also told them they could subscribe by email? They are getting a little restless. Grateful for any comments,
J_Catlady #6113 It wouldn't cause any problem in terms of the transfer agent. They will simply be noted as already belonging to the group, and won't be touched. But I think it's preferable to have everybody transferred en masse, simply because the ones who transfer early will start posting in the new group. and the rest won't see the posts until later if they are the type who use email to read group messages. It just seems messy. toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Thu, Mar 15, 2018 at 9:54 PM, Dougsinc <pchelp@...> wrote: I signed up this morning to transfer a 600 member group from Yahoogroups (off-line 4 days last week).

It may take a while for you to reach the head of the queue, but when the transfer agent is ready to be promoted you should receive (at your Groups.io log-in address) a notification with the instructions to proceed. would it cause a problem if I also sent invitations to my members? And also told them they could subscribe by email? One disadvantage, that J mentioned, is that then you may have conversations in two places, and those that haven't yet joined the new group may feel left out. Another disadvantage is that any address already in the Groups.io group will be skipped when the transfer agent is copying the Y!Group's Manage Members list. Which means that their Email Delivery, Posting Privileges, and Join Date will not be copied. The first two you could copy by hand, but some might be nostalgic for their original join date.

Douglas All Messages By This Member #6159 Hi, Thanks for your comments! You're certainly right, it would be better to have all transferred at once, and soonest. FWIW, it might be an advantage to have it messy. The changes will be more prominent in the local headlines and, as they say, there's no such thing as bad publicity.
J_Catlady #6161 开云体育 I wouldn’t want or need the change to be ‘prominent’. In our case, the move was so seamless that some members are oblivious and literally still think we’re in yahoo, and that was two years ago. toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Mar 16, 2018, at 11:42 AM, Dougsinc <pchelp@...> wrote: Hi, Thanks for your comments!

Douglas All Messages By This Member #6173 Update: I just sent 586 invitations and got the response "Once your invites have been approved, they will be sent out. You will receive a notification when this happens." Wondering, what is the criteria and how long it might take...
Douglas All Messages By This Member #6174 Well done!? How did you get them to use the new address?

In the past it has only been a few hours, but with the high level of activity lately I'm not sure.

Douglas All Messages By This Member #6264 Final Update: My group transfer was completed in about 2 days including transfer of the members and past emails. Excellent and painless, I wish I'd done it sooner. Heartfelt thanks to Shal for his advice and for the work of the team at Groups.io!
