Can an existing yahoogroup change its category?

Question

I've had this yahoogroup for over 5 years now and the scope of the site has changed. I'd like to change the category the group is in, if that can't be done I'd like to eliminate the references to s*x links on the main page. I started it as an adult group 5 yrs ago but want to open it up now, plus some of the membership has little kids and don't want them to see what links are advertised. How can I change my group category or change from being an Adult group?

Answer 1

yes- homepage Description (Edit) <-- click the edit- scroll to Category (Edit) <-- click the edit- scroll category

How do I know where to properly place my group?

Browse or search through the Yahoo! Groups directory to find the appropriate category. Look for categories that list similar groups or are specifically devoted to your subject.

Note: Adult-oriented groups must be placed in the "Adult" category ("Romance & Relationships > Adult" or other sub-category with the word "adult" in it).

Our team of category editors will review your selection and might change the location of your group. Your group will be listed in the Yahoo! Groups directory within a few days.
