How do I install a join this group button on my group, i see the code but don't know what to do with it?

Answer 1

if you have a closed group, Join This Group Tab wont be there. if you have a restricted or open group, that tab is default.

the promote code is what you'd add to another site, like myspace or a different site that may gain more hits to direct people to your group outside of Yahoo

Answer 2

When you were setting up your group, a "Join This group" button would have automatically been put in place on the home page.  Since you are a member of group, you will not see it after you sign in to the group.  If you want to see it, sign out from your group, then go back to the group's home page without signing in and look at it.  The button is blue in color and you will see it on the right side above your group description.  The only time a group's Join button is not on home page is when the group is a "Closed" type. Closed means members can only join if they are invited by owner.  (No one can join if they are not invited.)

You might be talking about the "Promote" feature on groups where you get the html code.  That is meant for putting the Promote - Join this group button on personal websites.  If you or your friends have a personal website, you/they would use that code to place the button on that website to advertise your group for you.  It is not meant to be put on your group's home page.
