Is there any way to change the name of my Yahoo group?

How do I change the name that appears in the 'author' section of yahoo groups?

  • Before my yahoo ID, my groups display my full name which I must have submitted at some point, but I am not sure that I want this displayed as it comes up on google search etc - how can I change it, and can this be done retrospectively? Also is there a way of hiding your personal email from others on yahoo groups? If not, is it possible to delete all of your posts before leaving a group? Thanks!

  • Answer:

    if it's on the yahoo profile, go remove it. then go check your yahoo account which a link is located at the top of a home page- Sign Out, My Account] click my account. back space to the first letter of the last name. only if a group allows members to hide their e-mail, can you. if a group chooses this, the group looses the polls feature and you cant post from an e-mail server. this setting does not default to all members, each member has to go an check this option per their own group settings.
