Re: Can I delete a group and recreate it with the same name?
J, I think it is a desired feature more than a loophole. If a group wants to rename itself yet block access to their old name they can always create a new group under the old name. In fact I'd usually

Re: Reply links and Thunderbird
Thanks for your post. compose the reply using the group's web page rather than Thunderbird. His root problem is that clicking on these links does nothing. Could he have set something to disable links?

Re: Can I delete a group and recreate it with the same name?
This seems like a big loophole around Mark's intention of not allowing reuse of a group name for a significant period of time after a group has been closed. Maybe it should be reported to him. J

Re: Can I delete a group and recreate it with the same name?

Can an entire group, not just a topic, be locked?
This is a situation I'd not even considered before it came up elsewhere, and I know of no mechanism to do so, but suspect it exists. ? It may be an "owner only" sort of control, it may be somewhere I

Re: Can I delete a group and recreate it with the same name?

Re: Can I delete a group and recreate it with the same name?
p.s. Do it fast, before you get any members. Also, Mark is on vacation (or his version of one) so his response might be delayed. J

Re: Can I delete a group and recreate it with the same name?
You can't go from private archives to public archives. I'd just email Mark in this case, since there are no members yet. He's very accomodating. J

Re: Can I delete a group and recreate it with the same name?

Hi Jeff, What about going to Settings for your group and changing Privacy settings? I believe you can't re-use the same group name if you delete your group. However, there is a message from Shal

Not normally, but since you have no members yet, I bet if you email Mark with the request he can make it happen. I would contact him at the support address, [email protected]. J Sent from my iPhone
