100,000 Limit - Second Chance #transfer

Paul Wills
 

Does anyone know whether it's possible to start with the free service and transfer the latest 100,000 messages and then, if we decide to do so later, pay the $110 for the upgrade and collect the older messages?? Is there only one chance to get all the messages?

Thanks!

I suspect that you can, but I don't recall that Mark has answered that question specifically.

One possible concern, if you do, is that the earlier messages will end up with higher message numbers, as the message numbers in the Groups.io group are assigned at the time the messages are posted or copied. I don't think that will "break" anything, given that the message lists are sorted by date, but it might seem odd to see the discontinuity in the numbering.

Is there only one chance to get all the messages?
There's a general ability to delete the record of your completed transfer and start a new transfer between the same Y!Group and Groups.io group. This was intended for circumstances where few or none of the Files or Photos could be copied on the first try (due to Yahoo server issues). It seems though like the same method could be used to collect the earlier messages after upgrading the Groups.io group.

Shal,

Thank.? It looks like, the way you put it, going for the upgrade and transferring everything will solve a lot of potential problems.

Thanks,

PDW
