Re: [Digital BW] Yahoo migration?

Is there any way to preserve the archives and searchability of them? That is a resource and history that would be ashamed to lose.

I can chime in as co-moderator of the EpsonWideFormat group (over 6500 members).


groups.io did a great job of the transition. Many new features that Yahoo just could never get right. I recommend.

EpsonWideFormat just migrated to groups.io. The transition was quite seamless. It went live today.

I suggest that. The person who started groups.io is the same person who started Yahoo groups.

First, it's not a sure thing that Yahoo will abandon Groups or Mail, but that does seem possible.


Google Groups may be most similar to Yahoo Groups....but I suspect that, with Google, Photos (including old ones/legacy) wouldn't be integrated the way they are with our Yahoo group...they would have to be moved/sent independently to Flickr...


In any case our admin or someone else with access should try to save current member contact list w/email to Excel or Google version of Excel. That would enable restoring relations that might otherwise be lost.


We might instead consider a blog, perhaps via Wordpress.org (which might be free).

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
