Goodbye Yahoo Groups 20 limit

 

What? when transferring members yourself you can only do 20 per day? I thought you could do all of them or like yahoo 100 per day but 20?wow

Yes - several dozen - some with many thousands of members.

There really is not time to get a campaign together to transfer these.

I've run into the 20 per day limit several times already.

Sharon -- This is completely wrong.

You can invite as many as you want, but if you invite more than 20 in one day, they will be reviewed before going out, to ensure you are not a spammer. This was implemented two years ago when someone created a group and invited 600,000 subscribers.

Please read?/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/20-Invitations-Limit?and come back with any further questions.

Holy cow 600K? Ok yes I understand .Now the other question is it 20 per day per group? or 20 total from your email address?

Hi Sharon,

When I did my migration from Y!G last week, I put all 1,000+ email addresses in a file and uploaded the addresses.? See the bottom of the invite screen.

It took about an hour for the request to be approved.? At which point, when I clicked on?Sent Invitations, I was able to see they had all gone out (and which bounced).? My workflow was the following:

  1. Initial bulk invite to Y!G in conjunction with a?Y!G?Special Notice so people wouldn't freak out.? ;)
  2. As people signed up, I received a boatload of notifications (as configured).
  3. Two days later, I went back to the?Sent Invitations screen and culled all those that?Accepted (I wanted to keep track) and I resent the invitations.? Once again, in conjunction with a Y!G?Special Notice
The last four days I've been doing the last step once a day.? Tonight (local time) I'm going to?soft close my Y!G (flip it to moderate all messages).? I'll leave it be for a week and delete it.? During this final week, if there are any posts to Y!G, I'lll reply to them to join the new group.?

My migration was relatively easy because I had no content to preserve.? I just needed to migrate 1,000+ subscribers.? As of this writing, 650+ came over.? No time like now to clean house!? :)

-pablo??
