Help! The 'messages' link in a yahoo group does not show?

Question

I have this really strange problem. I am taking a film class at my local community college, and as part of that we are supposed to talk about and discuss the productions we see in class. The group is a closed group (requiring membership). I have signed up, received permission from the moderator (our instructor) but when I go to the groups' website, i cannot see the messages link. I can post, but i cannot see the messages. I can't read and respond to anyone!

I have tried different things: changing my group membership settings (mail only, web site only and the other two) and i have tried signing up with a new yahoo ID, all to no avail. This happens at home with two different computers, vista, XP.

There is no messages link ... any ideas?

Answer 1

there will be no tab if the group does not store its messages.

this would be decided by the moderator (your instructor) have a word with him/her to see if messages are usually available.

Answer 2

it's not a closed group by the way, it's restricted membership-

there's not an issue on your end- it's within the group settings that the archives are closed and only the owner can change that setting. a choice would be setting yourself to individual mail than no mail, and you'll get all the posts
