Can't "uncheck" an inactive member to return them to active list

A group of one can't exist.




 
I think you mean an empty group cannot exist...right?

Custom "groups" are just "tags" that are added to the member records in the db.  There isn't any table of the group names themselves anywhere in the db.  Thus, if no members have the custom group tag, then essentially the group does not exist in the db.

Well, here's what I came up with:
  1. Select the custom list under the "Select By Group" drop-down menu (upper right corner of dialog box).
  2. Select all names in that list and choose "Delete People" from the "Membership Tools" list.
    1. Not only did this delete all names in the custom list, it deleted all names in the "main" members list.
  3. Navigated to the "Former Members" tab and selected "Undelete People".  This added the people I had just deleted into the existing list which contained other Former Members.
  4. From the Former Members list, I selected all of our known active members and chose "Move to Members List" from the Membership Tools list.
  5. Once back at the Members tab, I checked to make sure the requested names had been returned.  I also updated the officer roles assigned to our current executive committee because all names had reverted to the default 'Select Officer Role(s)' option.
  6. I also checked to see if the custom list "InactiveMembers" had been removed.  It was gone.
Everything is as it should be now.
I'm sorry, but this seemed like too much to go through just to get rid of a custom list.  I should have simply been able to delete the custom list in and of itself and not have that action affect the names on any other main or custom list.  So much for my 2-cents worth.
Thanks for your assistance.

You seem to have missed the purpose of the 'select by group' tool.  That allows you to quickly select the required group members, they will be checked in the parent list (e.g. Members).  You can leave that as is or uncheck any of them or select more before using the Membership Tools to apply a function to those selected members (e.g. move them to the former members list, or send a basic email...)

To actually add or remove members from a custom list, you need to go into the Custom Groups tab - details here:  support.toastmastersclubs.org/doc/item/custom-groups

When I was working with 1070's group with two members, removing one of them eliminated the group. Hence, my comment.Hmmm... That is not as designed or intended.
