Starting a new group but not running it yet?


 

Hi everyone. Sorry I am sure this has been addressed already but I couldn't find it in a search. We mods are getting increasingly scared by YG's failures... but the owner does not yet want to switch. Is there a way to transfer all the data to a new groups.io group but NOT run it yet, ie: not notify the members of the switch. Just let it be ready. Then start it up when wanted/needed.?

I believe you can (or could*) do that simply by requesting it when you give the "go" email to the transfer agent.

The difficulty with doing this though is that then you have a break in your message and other content: content posted to your Y!Group after the copy won't be automatically mirrored over to the Groups.io group; you'd have to impose on support to do that for you when you're finally ready.

No sooner did I send that then Yahoo Groups came back for me (5:00 pm PST, 2018-01-22 01:00 UTC).

I can now get to my groups, but the files sections of several groups
(I didn't try them all) list files but they're not accessible. Photos
shoed in one group, square blank placeholders in another, and in
another few no photos at all.

If they're trying to fix those sections, there's clearly more work to
do yet.

Hello all,


I just tried to log into my still existing Yahoo Group.? That group was transferred to groups.io in January 2017.? I can see the photos clearly.?


However, when I try to log into a 2nd group, or which I am Co-Owner also, first I cannot view databases within the group.? If I go out of the group and come back in, I can view the databases, but when trying to open them I get an error message that I do not have access to edit the database.


I would say Yahoo definitely has its issues.
