Yahoo Groups Are Going Away

[galacticprobe]

Hey, All,

I know our Group has been quiet for the longest time, and it's been ages since I've posted anything. But I've been seeing this from several other Groups I belong to, but noting yet from ShipOnedinGroup. Has anyone else seen the banner at the top of the Group site? (It's at the top of all the Group site pages.)

Attention: Starting December 14, 2019 Yahoo Groups will no longer host user created content on its sites. New content can no longer be uploaded after October 28, 2019. Sending/Receiving email functionality is not going away, you can continue to communicate via any email client with your group members. Learn More

That "Learn More" is a link that takes you to a sort of FAQ page with expandable topics such as "What Functions will go away", "What will happen to the site", and others. But basically, from what I've heard from other Groups I belong to, come December 14, all content on this site will be gone: photos, files, messages, etc. Some of the owners/admins of those Groups are looking into this place: https://groups.io. I've checked it out, and near the bottom of the page it has some instructions (via a big green button) to help you move your Yahoo or Google Group to Groups.io. They have both free and pay plans (I'd naturally go for the free plan, but that's just me – an unemployable, retired military vet of 31 years with a V. A. disability rating of 100 percent, nearing 59 and on a very fixed income). That site says it's easy to move the Group, so maybe our owner/admins can take a look?

We've got a <pardon my Galactica> frackload of information stored here and the photos alone are priceless, especially of those showing some behind the scenes and some of the sets! Downloading everything into one's computer (which is what Yahoo is saying we have to do before December 14) would take, probably, longer than the deadline. Also, we would lose all of the messages that have been posted (which we can't download), as well as all other files.

Some Group owners are taking things to Facebook, but I don't do Facebook. (My wife does, but I think she's getting tired of me coming across a site on a search, and having it be a Facebook page, and Liking it – basically doing Facebook through her because she knows how it works. I'm an electronics tech; if it's electronic and it's broke, I can usually fix it. When it comes to all of those links and clicks and switching between pages, I admit I'm a dunce. That said, if this Group migrated to Facebook, I would have no choice but to find it and ask my beleaguered wife to "Like" it for me.)

So, has anyone else heard of this or looked into what's in store for our future on ShipOnedinGroup?

This removal of most functionality is very sudden. Its the death of Groups.

For this Group its going to take an age – and a stable connection – to save and transfer all files etc.

My own Groups are going to be a problem for me too.

This is what I understand to be going:

====

Files
Polls
Links
Photos
Folders
Calendar
Database
Attachments
Conversations
Email Updates
Message Digest
Message History

====

BTW if only email functionality is to be left then another download should be the emails of subscribers. Your community is the most valuable.

It appears that transfers to groups.io are not free, they require a premium or enterprise subscription – https://groups.io/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Transfer-from-Yahoo-Groups

Hello,

I have looked into the transfer to groups.io. 

It requires a Premium group there for the transfer, but the Premium subscription can be cancelled after a year. I am willing to pay for it (but if someone wants to share the costs, I would not refuse :))

However, the transfer requires the ability to send an invite from this group to a certain e-mail address. I cannot find any button or menu item to do so, and since this group is restricted, I assume only an administrator has such a capability (and I am not one). 

So I think it would be nice, if our administrator would chip in. If he/she does not want to deal with the transfer, I am ready to become an administrator and deal with the rest. 

(BTW I have already downloaded the photos and the files to my computer, so if no other solution is found, I will be able to make them available from my server. The messages will be lost, however, unless they copied one by one with copy and paste, which seems to be a rather dull job :))

Thanks István !

I still have about 100 messages (including all 44 of mine) which I could
send you. They're in plaintext (including the mail headers) which makes
it easy (one copy operation) to put them into a new inbox in my
Thunderbird email reader. I can supply instructions. Maybe you'd prefer
one text file without the headers.

A dozen+ of my messages referred to 10 minute videos ("The Running
Tide") I posted on my public onedrive site. They're 30-50 megabytes
each, still available to download from

https://onedrive.live.com/?id=DF9A1A8355E5C330%21172&cid=DF9A1A8355E5C330

I did not post them to shiponedingroup files because they were not
actually part of The Onedin Line, they were fillers added by my local
PBS station after the broadcast of each TOL in the first season. They're
seafaring documentaries on a subject related to the TOL episode. I don't
have the copyright to them but I have never received a complaint from
PBS and I couldn't find them online or elsewhere. If you're setting up a
new group or compiling TOL files you (or TOL fans) are welcome to copy them.

Lee Bonnifield

[galacticprobe]

I have those files, Lee, and thank you for making them available! (I hope I posted a thank you when you let us know where to find them. If not, apologies for being inexcusably late.)

I found them fascinating as I never got to see them before you made them available for us. The station in my area that aired 'The Onedin Line' was a syndicated commercial station, and the 45-50-minute TOL episodes ran for a full hour once that station inserted their adverts, so there was never any room for those "fillers".

I long since lost the login details to the group
when my PC died, but searching my emails stored on an old hdd I've found I
can reply to messages to the group.

 

In view Yahoo is closing the groups down,
I have created a forum at http://onedingroup.freeforums.net.

 

I do not know if it will have any use to Onedin
fans but we can see how it goes, so if you fancy joining and seeing if you will
like and participate in it please go there and sign up.

Hi Lee,

thanks for offering the messages, and I would be grateful if you could send them to me, including the headers. That way I might be able to setup some website where the messages would be displayed in chronological order and perhaps preserving the topic structure. Or perhaps a forum into which I could import them.

István

[leebonnifield]

Hi István,

Here are the messages I saved, I hope you can use them. I said

>They're in plaintext (including the mail headers)

but they are html format, the way they were distributed. The headers let
them be displayed in readable format, at least when given to Thunderbird
email. When I put the file "onedin" in among other mail boxes while
Tbird is closed, next time I open Tbird it sees the new file and builds
indexes for it. Then I see the messages in chrono order with the html
correctly rendered. I hope this works for you. Please let me know.

Moving the group to IO would require the administrator to invite a certain e-mail address. However, I could not contact the administrator. But we still have some time till Deember 14, so perhaps there is still hope that the administrator steps forward and the moving can be completed.

Hi Lee,

thanks, I am quite confident I will be able to use the messages.

The website with the messages will be available at https://onedin.varadiistvan.hu. Currently it contains only a default website, but I will make the messages available in some format during the coming weeks. But maybe only shortly before Christmas, depending on my spare time.

Bill, I'm a member of a couple of other Yahoo Groups that have just migrated to Groups.io. One thing I did hear was that Groups.io was charging a $220 (US) migration fee. In all of the Groups that migrated, the owner asked for members to donate what they could to help with that cost. Members donated anywhere between $5 and $50 via PayPal to the owners with the owners posting daily updates on the amount raised until the $220 was reached. Then the owners used those funds to pay Groups.io.

I've just sent those Groups' owners an email asking them what they did to get the powers that be at Groups.io to migrate them over. I'll pass on anything they tell me ASAP.

Dino.

Moving the group to IO would require the administrator to invite
a certain e-mail address. However, I could not contact the administrator. But
we still have some time till Deember 14, so perhaps there is still hope that
the administrator steps forward and the moving can be completed..

Hi István,

Here are the messages I saved, I
