We were three Yahoo groups, when I have my main group moved can I also add (combine) the second (like a sub group) into one io group? ?What if it’s the same people in all groups, will that mess up the new group having a lot of the same members.

Actually I’ve already had members from the original Yahoo group join a new Yahoo group. It isn’t working out. So I’m making an io group that has photos & Files that work for everyone. Can I move everyone from original Yahoo AND new Yahoo AND the sub group

What if a handful of us were already in the io group (testing)?

Nancy,

We were three Yahoo groups, when I have my main group moved can I also
add (combine) the second (like a sub group) into one io group?

Yes. At step 2 in the transfer process you would simply name the same Groups.io group as the target for the transfer.

Or, instead of merging them into a single primary Groups.io group, you can create subgroups to your primary group, and transfer some of your Yahoo groups into subgroups of your primary Groups.io group.

What if it’s the same people in all groups, will that mess up the new
group having a lot of the same members.

No problem. Any email address that's already a member of the Groups.io group will simply be skipped when processing the transfer of an additional Yahoo Group.

Can I move everyone from original Yahoo AND new Yahoo AND the sub
group

I've kind of lost track of all the Yahoo Groups you're speaking of, but I don't think there's any technical limit to how many you can transfer into the same Groups.io group. There are no Subgroups in Yahoo Groups, so all of them are on an equal footing in terms of being copied into a Groups.io group.

What if a handful of us were already in the io group (testing)?

As above, that's not a problem. The already subscribed email addresses won't be transferred again - no duplication or other problems will arise.

My original Yahoo groups were Camp and another (which in io terms is a subgroup) but in Yahoo was a complete other group. I opened a new Yahoo group called Camp2 and started asking original Camp members to join.

Camp2 has never been able to be completely functional. I, personally, can’t add my own photos, start a file, start a poll. As owner that’s not good. Some can, some - about 6 have tried and can’t. ?I can’t change cover or banner photos.

Our original owner died, I tried keeping the 1728 members together. After the fiasco of the new group trials & errors I have 370, I’m afraid I’ll lose them all with “another new group”. I joined io to get out of trouble.

Nancy,

subgroup) but in Yahoo was a complete other group. I opened a new
Yahoo group called Camp2 and started asking original Camp members to
join.

You could make a primary "Camp" group at Groups.io and transfer both Camp and Camp2 into it. It won't matter that some of the same addresses are in both.

For the "another" group, you could make an independent group at Groups.io, just as you had at Yahoo, or you could make "another" be a subgroup of Camp. One factor in your decision should be whether the members of "another" are also members of Camp (or ought to be). That's because at Groups.io, every member of a subgroup must also be a member of the primary group. If you transfer the "another" group at Yahoo into a subgroup of Camp at Groups.io, all the email addresses will be copied into both "Camp" and "another" at Groups.io. Again, excluding any that are already there.

After the fiasco of the new group trials & errors I have 370, I’m
afraid I’ll lose them all with “another new group”. I joined io to get
out of trouble.

The good news is that the Groups.io transfer agent copies all the email addresses from your Yahoo Group(s) straight into your Groups.io group. You don't need to invite the members, and they don't need to accept or join anything in order to receive group messages and post by email. To access Files, Photos or other web features they will need to log in to Groups.io, but that's pretty easy - nothing like all the rigamarole they had to go through with Yahoo.

The only members you are likely to lose in the process are those whose email address had bouncing status in Yahoo Groups - those don't get copied. And then, even some which weren't marked as bouncing at Yahoo may turn out to be obsolete addresses and will end up bouncing at Groups.io. But you shouldn't lose any "good" email addresses.
