Good day;

If I do change the NAME of the user group:

Yes, they will continue to be subscribed and receive group emails according to their current subscription settings.?

Users will indeed need to change the URL in their bookmarks. The email address is also changed, so they will also have to update the group address in their email client. Also, any links to group content that appear in the message archive or in previously-received emails will now point to never-never land (404 not found).

Re: Accessibility Features of Groups.io
Hi Albert,
The following is based on a PC running Windows 10 using Firefox for my browser.
I think you are seeing the Pending Approval list. When you click on the Member button on the left menu, it opens to "Pending Approval." If you click on "Pending Approval," the drop down menu has "Members" as the first item. When that opens, the "Download" button is in the same place to the right as on the "Pending Approval" page.
After you click download, it produces a text list of your members, including the attributes. Right click on the list and select "Save Page As." It will open the save window with the file name memberlist.csv. Save it and use Excel to open. Do not save it as a text file because it is a mess to straighten out; don't ask how I know!
I Co-Own a Genealogy list and we have a blind member who uses a screen reader. He has been able to navigate our site, including a searchable database we have outside of Groups.io. I'm very impressed by the technology. He is using JAWS (Job Access With Speech) which is produced in the USA by Freedom Scientific.
I hope this helps, if you need anything more, please ask,

It very well could be. Free groups are limited to 1 GB of server storage (see? /static/pricing?).? Large Yahoo groups may have more than that in stored files and photos.?If so, the transfer agent will stop your transfer and send you an email asking you what you want to do. The first thing I would do is go to Yahoo and check your file and photo allocations. If it looks like you could be over the limit, look for this email in your inbox and/or follow up with support. Hope this helps, Bruce

Re: error when beginning transfer
I made the transfer email a moderator hours after they accepted my invite. They've now been a moderator in my group for over two weeks. And still I get the message every time I try to hit the "go ahead with transfer' button.
As well, when I look at the pending transfers, the other four say "completed'. These two say they are waiting on action from me. Having already tried to go ahead a dozen times or more, maybe this is an issue for support?
Thanks!
Pam :)

May the wording should be changed to include mention that [email protected] is to be made a
moderator of "your Yahoo

Re: Accessibility Features of Groups.io
Unless you are an owner of the group, you will need to have the proper permission set for your account to access the complete list.? If you have that, you can go to Admin > Members, then select the Download button at the top.? That will open the list on screen as raw data in CSV format.? You can then save it to a file to be opened in a spreadsheet program such as Excel or LO Calc. Mark mentioned on the beta group a couple of days ago that he's working on a full group export feature that he hopes to launch soon.

It occurs to me now why this might be happening. Are you and/or Jean sending a direct reply to Don and also CCing the group (or vice versa)? If so, it stands to reason that he would receive two copies.
Hope this helps too,

Well Nancy, naturally you have to go to Y* and adjust them. Go Management/ Control Panel/ Notifications and I believe the lead welcome and other scheduled emails are there. Disable or delete them. I personally don't use either with a high-focus group that doesn't need 'reminders', regards davew
