Can I change the name or email address/URL of a group after I've set it up?

changing the group title should not affect anything, changing the url will

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

Yes, you can change the name at any time but one thing I found too when I tried to do that one time with one of the groups I own is that I then discovered the link to the group didn't work.  I then had to change it back to the previous name I had for the group.
