You can easily switch it to something else once you get everyone invited and things settle down.? /helpcenter/ownersmanual/1/customizing-group-settings/spam-control-and-moderation-settings? If you are unwilling to give the "small handful" of people Moderator permissions there is really no good way to do that.

Also, like Frances said, it does takes a bit for the change to become effective; but you can check if it's done by trying to go to your homepage URL, i.e. http://groups.io/g/<whatever-name-you-use>; if the change propagated and is effective, you'll get the home page, if not, you'll get a "group doesn't exist" error..

Can we pay for one month of premium for our initial bulk upload of yahoo members and then revert back to basic.Yes. Last year when I asked this question, the answer was yes, but now I don't see any monthly option for premium.If your new group is currently on the Premium Trial plan, you may have to downgrade first.

There is a note in the help page in GMF wiki -? The renamed group may not appear to "work" for awhile. This is normal. Due to the subdomain addressing used by groups.io, any change to the root Email Address has to propagate through the DNS entries (so the new group URL resolves into an IP address). This can take several hours.? Please note that renaming your main group will also change the URL of associated subgroups. /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/8127

Re: changing a group's name
Okay, right now on the settings page, it shows Breast Cancer Group2 in the title space and BreastCancer2Group in the email space. ?At the time the group was created, it was more or less a sister group to the same group on Yahoo Groups.?

I am not an owner of the Yahoo Group. ?I am the one who created the groups.io group because the Yahoo group owner had problems getting a group started on groups.io. ?

Duane, you wrote that we are following the correct procedure to get the group name changed. ?Should we keep trying until it sticks? ?Is there a limit to how many times we can try to change the name? ?

changing a group's name
I believe it is possible to change the name of a group. ?When I go to the admin tab and click on settings, I can see the spaces for the group title and email address. ?When I enter the new title and email address and click on update group at the bottom, I get a message saying it's invalid. ?I am co-owner of the group. ?The other owner tried to do the name change and got the invalid message, then asked me to try.
Just how does a group owner change a group's name? ? Donna |
