Messages link is not displayed on main page of a group when I view it?

Question

When I open the main page of the group of which I am a member, there is NOT a link for messages. I am not able to view any of the messages in this group. There is a Post link, and I can POST messages. But, there is not a direct link so I can see messages. I get the emails from the group and can respond to them, and can see files and photos, but NOT messages. Other users in this group evidently CAN see the Messages link. Moderator says he doesn't have ANY settings different on my profile. Can anyone identify this issue and tell me how to correct it?

Answer 1

this is not a per member setting. they are GROUP settings. either all can se it or none can and I would guess the owner would need to go into the message/arcive settings to view what it's set at. the owner and moderators will see things differently than the members do.

the issue is the archives are closed, which is a whole group setting
