Or just sent? Waiting for the invitation to be accepted is the longest step of the process. You can check status as follows: Return to the Yahoo groups transfer page (/yahootransfer) and select the transfer you've initiated from the pull-down menu at bottom right. There should be a status banner at the top of the resulting page. Based on what you've told us, it should say something to the effect of "we have received your invitation and will accept it soon, there is no need to send another invite." If you see that, you're fine. If it says something else, come back here and tell us what it says. I know you're anxious to get this done, but be patient. There are probably 100 groups ahead of you in the queue...with 100 owners, all feeling the same way you do. You will receive the anticipated email soon.? Regards, Bruce |
开云体育Bruce the page you linked to only talks about “Easy Groups Transfer.” Is there another page and link to find out this status?Susan B On Oct 19, 2019, at 11:01 PM, Bruce Bowman <bruce.bowman@...> wrote: On Sat, Oct 19, 2019 at 10:22 PM, <jessica@...> wrote: want to transfer all content from yahoo to the new platform.my invite was accepter by i have not received any email directing me to make the [email protected]?member a moderator.?Jessica -- Are you sure your invitation was accepted?

开云体育Bruce, never mind - I think I found what you were talking about. You have to click the button at the bottom of the page you linked to. The button says Yahoo Group Instructions and when the new page shows up, look down in the right hand corner here.?/yahootransfer??When I look there I see a blank box with the words “You have no transfers in process or completed."I did issue an invitation from our group to the transfer agent a little while ago.?

Susan, you have your Groups.io group, and you changed it to Premium. And you went to YahooGroups and invited the Groups.io transfer email address.

开云体育Yes, that is correct - exactly what I did. We’re working on our welcome message. For now, I de-activated it until we can decide exactly what to say. We plan to post our own message to our Yahoo group informing members of the coming change, so they won’t be surprised.On Oct 19, 2019, at 11:29 PM, Frances <frances@...> wrote: Susan, you have your group, and you changed it to Premium.

开云体育Frances, will our group members get ?email messages from ?inviting them to sign up for our group on ? If they will, we need to hurry up and post our own message to our members.I have not had a chance to find out what we should tell our members about what they have to do (if anything) to join our group on , how to get to the message board and how to post to the group via email. Can you tell me or point me to explanations for these questions? ? Our group is always on moderation for all members except owners and mods. It can be seen in the directory but approval is required to become a member. To find out if they are eligible a short message goes out when they click the join button. It says “tell us why you want to join.” Then they send back a sentence or two of explanation.

Me Susan? I did that tonight, switched to premium, paid for it, and still waiting for transfer to join my list to complete the transaction. I hope it doesn't take long either. 151 members have joined on their own but that still leave another 10,100+ members sitting, waiting for the move to happen. I told them probably Monday.? <grin> Susan Susan, you have your Groups.io group, and you changed it to Premium. And you went to YahooGroups and invited the Groups.io transfer email address.

Frances,
?
Thanks for the links. I’ll read them.
?
I thought I discovered why the status box was empty. The email I used for ?was different from the one I use for the Yahoo group. So I changed my Yahoo group email so that it matches the ?email address. I then re-issued the invitation to [email protected]. I then looked at the status box on . It is still empty. I don’t know what to do
?

开云体育Susan P, no, I think Frances was answering my question. But our situations are similar. Mine differs in that my address for Yahoo group did not match ?address. I since have changed the Yahoo address to match.Regards, Susan B On Oct 20, 2019, at 12:01 AM, Susan Pitlock via Groups.Io <strawberryblnd_101@...> wrote: Me Susan?

Well good luck to us both! If my list was smaller, I would not be as concerned but it's a rather large and chatty list. We're all looking forward to the move. Susan P in California?
