Acceptance time frame for [email protected] account #transfer

 

Hi all,

What is the present time frame for accepting the invite of the transfer account from a yahoo group?

A request was sent earlier this week from Losmandy_users yahoo group but has yet accepted.

Thanks

Liam

When I requested 2 transfers today, each one had a notation that acceptance could take up to a week.
 

I applied for a transfer last week and the acceptance took 2 or 3 days. Been 2 days since approval and the site isn't transferred yet. I can imagine they are running a bit of a backlog.
 

I purchased a Premium Plan, requested a transfer from Yahoo Groups, and invited [email protected] about 9:00am ET this morning.

I received an email from groups.io to make [email protected]?a YG moderator at 6:44pm this evening. I did so and gave the transfer go ahead.

So, almost 10 hours from invite to transfer go ahead.
 

I had created a new groups.io group in March in anticipation of the continued downward spiral of Yahoo!Groups since the sellout.

When we received the banner notice last week, I immediately went to Premium and started the process. ?All was finished within about 4 hours, except for the Photos section. ?Not a huge amount of files there, just a little tedious to transfer manually. ?(¡°Sed¡± is your UNIX/Linux friend! :-)

I have been involved with Amateur Radio groups here for most of the year and find this to be a much better home than Yahoo!Groups at its best.

I appreciate all that the owners have done!

So for all of those who decry the new fee, it is about $0.60 per day...

Check the status on the transfer page for your group.? It will tell you at the top if the invitation has been received.

Hi Duane,

I have also send the invitation with no reply, and it seems to me until you initiate the transfer, which you cannot do till?? [email protected] have replied to my invitation and has been made a moderator, there is no way to check the transfer page whether the invitation has been received, or am I missing something?

On a related note, what should the hangtime between setting the transfer agent as a moderator and the transfer page updating with the go-ahead button? The how-to guide makes it seem largely instantaneous.

No, you need to follow the steps in /g/GroupManagersForum/message/19673 exactly.? The transfer is initiated before inviting [email protected] to your YG.

According to the steps in /g/GroupManagersForum/message/19673 it only depends on how long you wait to click on the button, step 16.

That's what I thought. I've made the agent a mod on all my YG lists that I'm importing as sub groups to the main lit, but there's no sign of the go button no matter how often I reload the transfer page

Mark and the groups.io team are running as fast they can, please be patient with them. They have responded to the Yahoo debacle like no other company has.

Where do you see your place in line??? I paid on 10/22 at 8:10am (Pacific) and after confirming [email protected] also on the 22nd, started the transfer.
 

Hello,

I paid on Oct 18th and haven¡¯t heard anything yet, if that helps.

Hi

From the GMF FAQ -?/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/FAQ-on-Moving-from-Yahoo-Groups

11. How do I check the transfer status?
?
Transfer requests are sorted by when the go-ahead is given to transfer the group.
?
When you click on the green "Set Up New Transfer" button at bottom left of the Yahoo groups transfer page (/yahootransfer), a new page will come up where you can enter the source and destination group names.?
?
There is also a series of checkboxes for the various areas of the group to transfer (files, photos, members, messages, etc). Simply uncheck the ones you don't want before clicking the "Start New Transfer Process" button.
?
If you've already started a transfer, return to the Yahoo groups transfer page (/yahootransfer), select the transfer you've already started from the "Existing Transfers" list (pull down the menu and click on its name). On the resulting page you will see the same series of checkboxes. Uncheck the ones you don't want and then click the "Update Transfer" button. Actual transfer status for any ongoing transfer can be found in the status box at the top of the page.
?
New (2019-10-23): more details now available. See

I think the question is (at least for me) - how soon before we get the notification to give the go-ahead? That¡¯s for when io accepts the member request at Yahoo right?

Diane -- What else have you done? Simply paying will not get your group transferred.
