Two Groups Into One

Pam

Hello All!

I've just joined and so haven't spent a lot of time looking through the archives. In other words, forgive me if this is addressed elsewhere, lol.

Is it possible to integrate two Yahoo groups into one group here? When the neo nonsense started, I found another yahoo platform that hadn't changed yet, and moved the group there. It ended up changing as well, of course, and now I'd like to have the messages from both groups moved into one here, if possible.

Thanks for any help and sorry for my ignorance! I promise I'm looking through how this all works.

Thanks!

:P

Pam,

Is it possible to integrate two Yahoo groups into one groups.io
group here?Yes. Just perform the transfer twice: once for each Yahoo Group, citing the same Groups.io group as the destination.

When the neo nonsense started, I found another yahoo platform that
hadn't changed yet, and moved the group there. It ended up changing as
well, of course, and now I'd like to have the messages from both
groups moved into one here, if possible.Memberships (email addresses) that appear in both Y!groups will be copied as part of the first transfer, then skipped on the second. That will leave the members with the delivery and moderation settings, and join date, they have in the first group.

Messages in the Groups.io group will generally be displayed in date order, so if messages were posted in the two Y!groups concurrently they will appear intermingled in the Groups.io group. But the message numbers will be assigned at the time the messages are copied, so all of the messages from the second group will have higher numbers than those from the first.

Both of the above mean you likely would prefer to transfer the original group first, and the "lifeboat" group second.

Thank you so much for the information.

This past week in Yahoo groups has proven yet again why we gotta get out of there, lol.

And thanks to the group, in general. Many of these messages have gone over my head, haha, but the rest have been helpful for when I finally get this process started over the weekend.

And never fear (as if all you generous people would), I will poke the list again if I have a question.

Thanks again so much!

Pam? :)

So then - another question.

?

When the neo stuff started, I moved to another branch of Yahoo - yahoogroups.au. At that point, it was still the classic version and stayed that way for a couple of weeks (if I'd realized it would have been so soon I probably wouldn't have done it. Live and learn, right? lol)

?

Now I'm trying to transfer that group and another with the .au after the address and it keeps telling me it's not a valid address. Any clue how I can move these two groups? I can't seem to edit that "@" part of the email address.

?

Thanks again!

Pam,

Now I'm trying to transfer that group and another with the .au after
the address and it keeps telling me it's not a valid address. Any clue
how I can move these two groups? I can't seem to edit that
"@yahoogroups.com part of the email address.It seems you don't have to edit it. Go ahead and enter your group's name and ignore the wrong locale.
