I read the groups.io Wiki page on this topic, but am still not certain about the ramifications of changing a group name or what constitutes changing a group's name.
Does it count as "renaming a group" if I delete a subgroup I have created? I ask because adding a subgroup caused the word "main" to be added to our group name. I want to forgo the subgroup function and get a simpler name/address for our group.
Questions:
#1 If I delete the subgroup, will that cause all the consequences listed below? (culled from the Wiki)
If the answer is "no," then all is well.
If the answer is "yes," can you explain in more detail? about? how this will affect the archived email messages??
Groups.io will NOT parse old group content for group-related links and update them to the new URL. Therefore, many of the links to group content in the?Message Archive (and of course, any previously-sent emails), your home page, and your wiki will likely now point to never-never land (404 not found).
This includes the reply-to address and many of the links in group message footers!
Will it mean that group members can't search the archives because they remain linked to that name with "main" in it?
Does it mean they can't hit reply to an archived message created prior to my deleting the subgroup?
I can't remember if I created the subgroup prior to Groups.io moving our group over from Yahoo or not. Does it matter?
Please advise. I would like to revert to the simpler group name, but don't want to render our archive unsearchable or unresponsive.
Thank you for all the good support that Groups.io offers.
Best,
