Hi, I'd like to do this, send a link to all of our YG members.? I have been promoted from moderator to owner but I don't see how to send out an admin message or special notice message so that those who are set to special notices only will get my message.? It will just go out under my account....? will the fact that now I'm an owner it will go to everyone?
?
I know we have done that in the past, admin messages - special notices, but the person who did that is no longer in the group to ask how to do it.
?
I don't see anywhere on YG to do it.? I don't know if that ability has already been removed from YG?? And do you know what will happen to people who have their subscriptions set to daily digests since digests are going away?? Will they get anything at all going forward?
?
Thank you

I suppose I could just create a new identical group of the same ?members at groups.io....and ?manually add all my old members, or have them join. Right??
Hi Alex, Our YG owner and myslef (her mod) did not need see a value in bringing over our ?archived posts on YG. We did bring over a couple of files. But those were files we had uploaded so we already had them on our computers.
Our members fluctuate year to year due to officer elections and chair appointments. We did what you suggest as a possible solution for yours. We created a new "identically purposed" group on GIO.
Instead of manually adding members, we posted a link to GIO on our YG home page and emailed the existing YG members a link which directed them to our new group on GIO.
They joined our group here. No problem. Easy Peasy. A fresh start and much less work and worry on the part of the owner and moderator.?
