Information From Multiply - migration site.
We are trying to make sure everyone here from MSN knows NOT to create their group yet (manually) from MSN. As MSN users register each day though, some may not be getting this information. For all Multiply members who are assisting MSN users, please make sure that this information is given to every MSN user they assist. It is very important!! And please, all MSN members pass this information to your MSN contacts already here and over on MSN in your groups. You may also link to this post (it is a public post).
Do NOT create your groups yet if you are going to use the Migration Tool which will move your group content from MsN to a new group here. This is IMPORTANT. Because the Migration tool will CREATE your group for you. If you manually create your group first, when you use the Migration tool you cannot reuse your Group User ID to use the migration tool. You will be required to choose a NEW group ID.
Because of this information, many MSN users are creating "test" groups because they wish to familiarize themselves with Group Features. Be aware that more group features may be forthcoming. This means you may not be seeing all of the group features that will be available to you.
Because you can only use any USER ID or GROUP ID ONCE, even if you cancel the personal or group account, that means no one else can EVER use it again. PLEASE when creating these test groups, consider carefully that you are locking up a GROUP ID that can never be used again after you delete the group. This takes away the ID for any User both from Multiply and future MSN users. Many MSN users will be coming here both during this time before MSN GROUPS close and long after - even up to a year or more. We don't want available valid GROUP and USER ID'S to be locked up from future users.
My suggestion is, that if you are going to do this, PLEASE use an innocuous GROUP ID. You can use "testgroup" with numbers after it that mean something to you. It's highly unlikely anyone will want to have and keep any TESTGROUP ID with your specific numbers.
We appreciate your kind consideration in this matter.
