Question

We have a private group. How do members without a Yahoo ID get to our group's home page?

Answer 1

depends on what you mean by private, and everyone as a different meaning. Yahoo groups has 3 choices, public, restricted and closed.

I'd look at which yours is. a closed group wont list at all and if anyone has the URL and is not a member, a message pops up and states "you're not a member" and the homepage is never seen. my guess is, you do not have a closed group.

to get it out of the directory listing

management- under group setting click description and appearance (Or on homepage click Description (Edit) <-- click the edit) scroll to listing type and check not listed- click save changes

In this area, a closed group will state partly in red "Not listed in Yahoo! Groups directory due to closed membership type.

This setting cannot be changed."
