Question

Is there a way for moderators to change the wording of "Special Notice" to something else such as ALERT?

Answer 1

You will need to post the message from the group's website in order for it to go out as a Special Notice.  

Click Post just as you would posting a regular message.The subject line will be blank so you can word as you wish.  

Example: "Special Alert from Group Owner/Moderator"

After you have entered the subject and text, make SURE to scroll down near the bottom of page and click on the blank square in front of "Send this message as a Special Notice".

Then click "Send".  

Messages posted as Special Notices are sent to all members except those who have their email delivery set at "No Mail".  Members set at Web Only will also receive Special Notices.

Answer 2

no. but I believe when it's sent out, it doesn't say special notice on it at all.  when you check that box, it pretty much then is sent to those on that mail settings. it looks like a normal titled post, so add alert in the title/ subject line.

it's sent as a regular post except it includes those on special notice settings
