How do I re-add members I accidentally deleted???

Question

I selected all the members on my page to change one of the setting options and didn't know that column was to remove members until it was too late, and selected all- so it deleted 10 of my members. Is there any way possible I can see who was deleted or recover this?? oops!!

Answer 1

I  think the following answer to the "How can I directly add (not invite) members to my group?" can help you out:

To add (directly import) members to your group:

1. Go to your group's homepage.

2. Click Members from the list on the left of any page.

3. In the upper right, click Invite People.

4. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click Add Members from an existing email list.

5. In the first box, enter the email addresses of new members you want to add, one per line. In the second box, type any message you’d like them to receive regarding their addition to your group.

6. Click Continue.

7. Review the list of email addresses to be added. If you'd like to edit it, click on Edit. To add the new members, click Continue.

8. Now, review the welcome email that will be sent, and if it looks good to you, click Add Members. If you’d like to change the "My introductory message to you" portion of the email, click Edit. The remainder of the text cannot be changed.

9. You may add 10 addresses per day. The limit applies both to an individual group and an individual moderator.

Example 1: If you have 2 groups, you may add 10 members per day to one or 5 to each.

Example 2: If there are two moderators for your group who add members, each of you may add 5 per day, or just one of you could add 10 and the other none, etc.

(Note: per day does not mean calendar day; there will usually be a 24-28 hour lag before more users can be added.)

Important Notes regarding use of this feature:

A. It’s against the Yahoo! Groups Terms of Service to add people to your group without their permission. Yahoo! Groups provides the Add Members feature as a convenience to group moderators for those occasions that require directly importing a few email addresses to a group. If you abuse this feature, your group will be deleted and your Yahoo! account will be suspended.

B. Yahoo! highly recommends using the Invite Members feature as the preferred method to add members to your group.

Or you could invite them to your group again:

Answer 2

Just did something similar. Look in trash, look in recycle bin, and look in e-mail sent box. You may find names and address's in any of these places that might ring your bell.

Answer 3

You can see who was deleted by going to Management.  Underneath Group Activity, click on Memberships.  Scroll through the entries and you will find your deletions there.  You can't recover.

Send them all a private email, apologizing for the error and ask them to go to the group's website and rejoin by clicking the Join This Group button and going thru the join process again.

You could Add them but that would only put them on the group's email list and they will only be able to send and receive messages via email from the group.  They could not access features to participate on the group site.
