How can I change a member's name?

Is it possible to change the name of your group without losing all of your current members and pics?

  • My group has lost its spunk, and i think it has a lot to do with the name of the group. I have a great new name that i would like to use, any ideas???

  • Answer:

    Yes, you may change the name of your group at any time, but remember: this may confuse your members! If you change your group email address/URL: *Any existing invitations, links, and sign-up boxes outside the Yahoo! Groups service will no longer be valid, since these refer to your old group name. *Any message filters or email in-box assistance programs maintained by your members may have to be changed. For example, if a member has an email program that organizes incoming messages into folders, it may not be able to recognize your new group name. *If your group has been running for some time, your members may resist any changes to the name. *Please carefully consider the implications before changing the name of a group. OK if you want to do it anyway, here’s how: 1. Go to your group's homepage. 2. From the list on the left, click Management. This link only shows up if you’re the owner of the group or a moderator with Management privileges. 3. Under "Group Settings" in the upper right, click "Description & Appearance". 4. Click Edit next to "Web Address". 5. Change the "Group Address", then click Save Changes. Note: We generally recommend checking the box to notify users of changes.
