The download can take several minutes, depending on the size of your community.

It arrives as a file called members.csv which lists members under the following headings, some of which will be empty. It is a spreadsheet, so you can load into any spreadsheet facility you have. You can sort the cells into a different order if you like.

The data download contains

  • ID
  • Name
  • Email address
  • Date joined
  • Date last active
  • Other emails
  • Settings on Group
  • Posting status
  • Bouncing
  • Microvolunteering
  • Comments


Save the file with a meaningful name e.g. GROUPNAME_membership_date.

If you upload a copy to your mods group, it will be accessible all members of your mod team.
