Group name change doesn't fully propagate #subgroups

 

Hi

I recently changed the name of my group from "marsdev" to "marssettlement". One of my members is reporting the following:

"The subscription replies are directing me towards the old names.
So when I reply to reach 'design' for example, there is an error message."

Is this a bug? Thank you.

If you change the name of a group there can be a delay while DNS changes are propagated? There are a number of things to consider before renaming though and the details are given in the Wiki at /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Renaming-a-Group

Of course.

Messages sent before the name change now reside in the member's email system can't be updated (by Groups.io). So the reply-to address and any links in the message footer will now be out of date.

Also out of date will be any bookmarks (favorites), address book entries, and autocompletes that are tucked away in the member's browser and/or email interface.
