All, I have been following the conversations about the unreliability of YahooGroups and the talk of transitioning to Groups.io. I spoke with Dave Lotz, list owner, and he has given me the go ahead to transition the group over. The entire message archive will transfer over, all well as all files and photos. The only thing that will not be transferred over is photos that were sent as attachments. I will see if there is a way to get those over as well. The YahooGroup will still be here, but will no longer be an active group. For those not familiar with Groups.io, it was created by the same person the created YahooGroups and he plans to keep developing it. It is apparent that Yahoo has no intention to keep supporting the groups functionality, so we are getting out ahead of them and transitioning over in case Yahoo decides to shut it off one day and we lose everything. So, what does this mean for you? Your membership will automatically transition over and Groups.io will automatically create an account for you. You will receive an e-mail from Groups.io when the transition occurs to create a password for your Groups.io account, but this is not a necessary step. You will continue to get group e-mails even if you do not set this up. However, I don't believe you will have access to the photos, files and message archives. The other main change is that there will be a new e-mail address to send messages to. That address is CBQ@groups.io . Hopefully this is seamless for everyone. Like I said above, if you do nothing, you will still receive e-mails like you always have and the new address to make a post is CBQ@groups.io. The transition won't happen for a few days yet, but I will post ahead of when it occurs. To make sure everything gets transferred over, I'm going to ask that everyone refrain from posting in either group during that time. If you have any questions, please contact me off-list at bryan.j.howell @ gmail.com (remove the spaces). Thanks! Bryan J. Howell CBQ Page Admin
