The group name should be displayed on every page at the top, basically directly to the right of the 'Home' link in the sidebar. Is it not showing up for you? Should it be made more

Chris,
This is a question that went round-and-round a few times, with lots of confusion, in the early part of Yahoo Groups Neo.

Re: First Impressions of Groups.io
I'd definitely 'like' (yuck yuck) to add likes as well. I forgot to include that in the roadmap.
Thanks,
Mark

Chris, Yahoo Groups allows you to see a few messages on the About page when you access the group. From there you can then select the option you want. Maybe if something similar to that could be set

Mark,
Hmm... Now that I see it I remember seeing it previously. But last night I must have been blind or something.

Re: about messages from non-members
Laurence, sorry for the delay in replying to your concern in #3.
There is no special software that is used. Yahoo Groups has a Photos option where photos are put in albums. On the buyer group

Hi Mark, thanks for the note. You definitely have a non-nerd here! Sometimes thing are being said and if we non-nerds don’t understand what is being discussed, it hard to say that will or won’t

I have a private family only group so the setting is "archives are visible to subscribers only". That's the way I want it because the group is restricted to approved members only. I understand that

Hi Judy,
Those are called Member Notices. To access them, go to the Settings page for your group. The bi-weekly and monthly notices are going away when the calendar launches, btw.
