Re: Recipes Group #recipes

 

As it was created August 15th has one member and zero posts, perhaps message the group owner and see if they really want it

Otherwise as suggested, slightly modify the name to suit yourself

Re: Recipes Group #recipes

 

Simple solution is slightly modify the name. May be there is a non public list with that name.

Not sure who "they" are, but someone did. The group only has one member.

You'll have to use something else.

Set up your group as an Announcement group (Spam Control tab). 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.

Donna: try changing the word "for" in your desired email address to the number 4. That will reduce the number of characters from 35 to 33, which is under the limit.

We seem to have two ongoing threads here in GMF, both asking the same question.

If you ever figure this out for sure, come back and report your findings.

Donna,

If you want the email name to be that long and not an acronym or something, change the email from BreastCancerSistersSoulmatesforLife to BreastCancerSistersSoulmates4Life and that will get you under the 34 char limit.

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..

Cheers,
Christos

There is no Premium Trial plan for existing groups, only new groups. Also, Premium Trial does not provide Direct Add capability anyway.

Follow the instructions found at?/helpcenter/ownersmanual/1/upgrading-or-downgrading-groups/upgrading-a-basic-group? Be sure to select the green "Upgrade ($20 for one month, w/ automatic downgrade to Basic after)" button.

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. Let us know what you find out.

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.

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. ?
