Possible Downgrade to basic from Premium


John Pearce
 

We have a premium group that used the automated move from Yahoo.? It's come time to renew in a couple of weeks.? We do use groups.io in a basic fashion, we only use about 330 MB of data and the group is restricted.? We would lose the following according to the billing page:

If you downgraded your group to free, these are the features that would be enabled and disabled:

  • Polls: Legacy Enabled
  • Calendar: Legacy Enabled?? (we don't use anyway)
  • Chat: Legacy Enabled????????? (we don't use anyway)
  • Member Directory: Legacy Enabled
  • Subgroups: Legacy Enabled?? (we don't use anyway)
  • Integrations: Up to 5??????????????? (we don't use anyway)
  • Photos: Legacy Enabled
  • Files: Legacy Enabled
  • Database: Legacy Enabled
  • Wiki: Legacy Enabled
  • Direct Add Members: Not enabled
  • Event RSVPs: Not enabled
  • Storage: 1GB

My subscription to the managers forum keeps me up to date on issues people face.? But I seem to remember that besides the ability to "direct add" that we would use when someone is not technical and is having trouble joining there may be other small items moderators use to manage the group that we would lose the ability to use?? My concern is the day to day management of the group like using monthly noticies, banning members, moderating members, restricting subscriptions etc.? Would we lose anything there?

The only other thing I can think of at the moment is the Past Members page.

John -- Go to?/static/compare??

Everything from "Directly Add Members" on down will be lost when you downgrade to Legacy Basic (pre-January 15 group).

If you group was created?after?January 15 (yours was not), the downgrade will?also?cause all subgroups to be locked.

For groups created after August 24, lost features from a downgrade is reflected in the table (i.e.: everything from "Subgroups on your own subdomain" on down).

Hope this helps,
Bruce

I did see that page under billing in settings.? So we would still have everything marked "legacy", it's just that we would have less storage space for photos, files, polls, calendar, etc?

Thank you Bruce, and Duane

Thank you Francis, no I had not.? I did do some searches not sure why I missed it.? I am confused regarding something on that PDF.? It says premium groups created by Oct 22 2020 are $110.? Should that be Oct 2019?? Our group was created 11/9/2019 and we paid $220 at that time and the billing page says 220 for our next payment.
