To add
(directly import) members to your group:
- Click Members
from the list on the left of any page.
- In the upper
right, click Invite People.
- Scroll to the
bottom of the page and click Add Members from an existing email
list.
- Enter the email addresses of new members you want to add, one per
line.
- Click Continue.
- Review the
list of email addresses to be added.
To add the new members, click Continue.
- Now, review
the welcome email that will be sent, click Add
Members.
You may add 100
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 100 members per day to one
or 50 to each.
Example 2: If there are two moderators for your group who add members,
each of you may add 50 per day, or just one of you could add 100 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:
- 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.
- Yahoo! highly
recommends using the Invite
Members feature as the preferred method to add members to your
group.
