You should not have broken a basic feature without putting a replacement process in place. Surely there is a way to verify that we are upstanding individuals and increase our limit. I can’t believe you lowered it to 10 members/day, which makes the group almost unusable for me. I am sorry that I chose to host my group at Yahoogroups.

This limitation is extremely frustrating for those of us managing large groups. Being able to only add 10 and invite 50 members per day makes the process tedious and time consuming.

I understand the limit for 10 direct add members only, but how long does it take to process each batch of 10? I’m patiently adding 10 each day for our technical support group, something for which I can’t rely on invites or people will just sit on it, and it seems that I can’t always add 10 every day. For instance, I added the last 10 yesterday, Sunday, about 1 pm EST. And today, Monday, 6 pm EST, it still tells me I reached the limit? If it helps, I’m the owner of 3 groups, moderator of 6 total.

I was not aware that I had a limit of 50 emails per week. I guess I have too many friends sending me emails that I like to share with other friends. If this is you weekly or hourly limit I guess I will have to locate another server. My wife and I both like yahoo very much but I can understand you have to make decisions that are good for you and not mecessaryly good for your customers.
Thanks for all your good service but if this decision remaines then we will make another decision. Reply if you want to keep us as a customer.

I can’t find the “Invite Members” button either. What happened to it?

When yahoo will increase the limit for direct add in yahoo group. There
are many months have passed. I can add only 10/day instead of it before
it was 100/day in 2008.
Please, My group is more active group in yahoo directory and we send only entertainments,knowledgeable daily mails to our members. So, Please increase the limit of add members so that we could add our friends from the whole world.
Please, Pay attention on my request.
Thank you
with regards
group owner

A coupleof related Qs:

1- Is it possible to add more than 10/day to a group?
2- Is it possible to make the defualt (when you add a person to a group) to be the “Daily Digest” rathen than Individual?

Thanks,
Bijan

Camelia, custom messages attracted spammers abusing the system thus the custom message feature within invites had to be suppressed. We’re working on how we can enhance this to give the ability to customize the message. Thanks.

It’s still very difficult as the manager of several groups, to deal with a personal limit of 10 adds per day. Why is this not a GROUP limit, not a personal limit?

It’s not true for my groups that if people want to join, they will, so they can just be invited. It’s one thing if it’s a social group, but my groups are club notification email lists, and people who sign up for news don’t really want the yahoo id and are reluctant to take positive action to join the group. Yet they did sign their name on a list (a non-techie procedure) requesting to be put on the list. I know they’re not the crowd that yahoo likes to see as its users, but as I see it, I bring these reluctant people to yahoo, or try to, but yahoo makes it very difficult for me. I get one or two-month’s worth of sign-up sheets in the mail every now and then, and it’s yet another delay and organizing hassle for me to get these people on the list.

How about an approved list of moderators who are allowed more adds and invitations?

I have a different problem: can you allow us to edit the message when inviting someone? It is not very pleasant as it is right now. Or, at least, please add the description of the group to the invitation. Otherwise is useless…
