Question

How to change name of group and how?

Answer 1

Here is how you can change the name of your group:

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:

a. 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.

b.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.

c.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. 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.

2. Under "Group Settings" in the upper right, click "Description & Appearance".

3. Click Edit next to "Web Address".

4. Change the "Group Address", then click Save Changes.

Note: We generally recommend checking the box to notify users of changes.

But if you cannot still change the name, it may mean that there is a group with that name, probably a new one, and it is not listed in the Yahoo! directory yet.

Hope this helps.
