Problems adding members/shutting down/restarting


 

Hello,

With Yahoo Groups shutting down in a few days, our mailing list Teaching Jobs in France, which send out job offers for teaching jobs (many adjunct or part-time), needed to migrate to another platform, and both Groups.io and Google Groups were the most recommended. Doing a little research, I found that Groups.io had some very favorable reviews, so it was chosen.

In creating the group just about 24 hours ago, there was the possibility of adding ALL the previous 706 members of our group, which I downloaded from Yahoo Groups. However, I didn't immediately add them and clicked on the next button.

The new Teaching Jobs in France group was created and a few hours later approved. However, I saw that I could no longer ADD members, just SEND invitations.

Wanting to go back, I decided to delete the group (of which I was the only member at the time) and create a new one of the same name.

But when I tried to use the same email address in reforming our group, the site said I couldn't because it had already been taken. Assuming that my removal of the group needed approval, I have been waiting, but nothing has happened and the original group still exists.

AND, in the meantime, several dozen of our members have signed up to join this new group.

So I went ahead and copied the email addresses of our 700+ members for them to be sent invitations. Because of the numbers, however, we are waiting for approval before the invitations are sent out.

SO, where are we? Will our group be shut down, needing to be recreated? Or will it go on functioning as if I had not chosen to delete it?

Any insights you can provide would be much appreciated!
