Will download from yahoo site interfere with transfer of site to groups.io?
#transfer
|
So as to have a backup to an existing yahoo gorup? I've requested that all data be downloaded from the existing Yahoo groups site.? ?Apparently this could take a month before I receive a notice that the data is "ready" for download.? In the meantime I'd like to transfer the group to groups.io.? Will the download attempt from yahoo interfere with the transfer of the site to groups.io?

And really, I don't think we can assume yahoo is going to be very functional -- On several yahoo groups today, where I was suggesting "have groups.io transfer your group, it's worth $110!", yahoo would not let me post a reply -- !!? got "could not post message" error message. Unlike many folks who generously share their time and expertise here, I'm not very computer savvy, but the concept of seeing IF yahoo could and would download my group's info, and then I'd have to figure out how to read/deal with JSON format......sounds like it'd well worth paying $110 to have groups.io transfer the group! ?

via ?But the more I hear, the more I think this might only be MY data, not the whole group for which I am moderator¡ Benn How did you request the backup? William R. C. Ellis On Oct 18, 2019, at 13:53, benn@... wrote:
