That makes things somewhat easy.? Go to the site, make sure that you're logged out, and ask for a password/login to be sent to that address.? If you get one, don't use it yet!? Now go to the site and login with your new account.? Go to the account page and choose Delete My Account at the lower right.? You'll have to type in "I understand" (without the quotes) in order for it to actually be deleted.? Once you're sure the new account has been deleted, use the link that was emailed to your old account.? Once you're on the site, click on your name at the upper right.? Then use the instructions that Bruce gave you earlier to change the email address for that account.? You'll get an email at the new address that you'll need to reply to that verifies the change.? At that point, I believe everything is done.? You should be in all of your old groups with the same status as before, just with a new address.

Re: Change my email, multiple groups

 

Thank you Duane.? Actual help would be very much appreciated as too much of my minimal tech savvy has gone over the bridge.?
Yes, I still can receive emails on my old croberts@... but have been notified that will be only for a few more days.? I cannot send on that email.

I have been able to activate my new email (croberts91938@...) on ONE of the groups I own by using another Admins help, however that is not the main ones I'm concerned about.? They have no other Admins on board and contains all messages, personnel, survivors, and photos of the old White Alice Communication System from back in the 50's-60's during the cold war...would be a real shame to lose them..? Also when trying to access some pages I get a "clear text not permitted"....may be part of my problem.? Whatever you can do to help me will be much appreciated.

And even as a blind person, and that speaks volumes. I would almost rather him forward me the email me the login link and provide the email address to the old account, and the new email address, and I will help him complete the merge. I've had no issues of doing this for other individuals.

Re: Change my email, multiple groups

 

Truth be told, the problem is that Yahoo made it so bloody convoluted to change your email. When Mark was developing groups.io, he intentionally made it very simple. Just go into your account and change your email shown and save that. It's like changing license plates on a car - you don't sell the car first, you just change that tag. But people are so used to having to go to all kinds of trouble that they don't comprehend just how simply it's done.

I would contact the other group owners in your groups through the group-owners email addresses to see if they are around. (The addresses are on the homepage of each group.
Say what you plan to do. Ask them to promote you to owner again.

To change your email address, you MUST figure out some way to first log in under the old one. That's the only way can ensure you're the account owner.
?
If you can't do that, you're stuck.
?
Did you create a password under the old address? If so, you can log in using that, or try using one of the social media logins. /helpcenter/membersmanual/1/understanding-groups-io-accounts/logging-in-to-your-account?
?
Failing that, you'll simply have to create new subscriptions using your new address and petition those group admins to remove the old one. You will lose "ownership" of content you provided earlier, but that cannot be helped.

Sorry,
Bruce

photos I want to remove
Go to each photo and open it.? Click Edit below it, click Delete Photo at the lower right, then confirm.? If you want to delete all the photos in an album, you can just go to the album and select Delete Album at the top.

Since you've already created a new account, you wouldn't be able to change the address on the old one, only merge the accounts.? That's not recommended if you own groups.? Unfortunately, you'll be stuck joining all your groups with the new account (and then removing the old one).

You can determine your own rules for the group.?
If it's only a few folks why not just a warning from the owner, strike three then they are not allowed to post? (¡±Decision is solely at the discretion of the owner.¡±)
