Unable to respond to group


Isaac
 

In 2 out of 3 groups I belong to, I can send to all of these 3:
?
But in one of these groups, I can only respond to Sender (even on threads I started).
?
Is this a permissions issue? How do I resolve this? Others in this group have no problem responding to the group.
Thank you!

Has a hashtag been applied to the topic? What is the subject of the message?

It's common for group admins to restrict the reply options on certain topics. For example, if someone posts a "for sale" ad, the topic may be restricted to "reply to sender," so the other group members aren't subjected to the noise of you haggling with the seller.

Is this a permissions issue?
There are no posting overrides that can be used to designate the reply-to options on a subscriber-by-subscriber basis. There's something about this topic (or topics).

Hi Bruce,
No hashtags applied to any of the topics I'm responding to.
?
One curious thing is that my name is rendering differently on the group that isn't working for me.
?
I went to go to update my overall profile name to "Isaac Zimberg", in Settings > Identity
?
?
And this is what's shown when I make a post on the 2 groups that are working.?
?
But when I go to the 1 group which isn't working, my name still shows as "Isaac".?
?
It seems like the user named "Isaac" has no permissions to post to the group, even though it is a part of the "Isaac Zimberg" profile (see name in top right corner).
?
Any ideas?
Thank you.

Are you sure other subscribers are really able to reply to the group? Are the posts you're receiving from them actually replies, or new topics (there's a difference)?
?
If so, probably that whole group is set to "reply to sender." Go to the group home page. Look at the Group Settings (example below) and tell us what it says.
?
Better yet, would it be possible to just tell us the name of the group?

Display Name and profile information can vary from group to group. This is by design and has no bearing on reply-to options. Generally, you seem convinced that you're somehow being singled out. I'm not seeing any evidence of that.

The name of the group is: 95033market
Yes, I am sure other subscribers can reply to the group. Attached is a screenshot of the thread of publicly visible group messages. My wife can also see them on her own separate account. If they were set to reply-to sender only, how would these people all be able to post publicly and have them visible to all? I received other private messages in addition to this, but these were the public group posts.
?
In the group settings, I do see that it's set to "set to reply to sender", but so do the other two groups I am part of (95033talk and 95033 free), yet I'm able to reply to the group on those just fine.
?
Thanks for helping me understand why I'm encountering this issue.
Isaac

Is the "Remove Other Reply Options" checked by any chance?

Christos: I do not see that option.

Ken: I do see that. So how is it that 5 people responded to the list??(I received other private emails in addition to these 5, see attached).
If something is sold/taken, I thought I had the ability let the group know...

They replied via email.

Many email clients fail to honor the group reply-to setting, but the web interface will... every time.

Understood now. Thanks!

It's in the same Message Policies section as Reply To, right under it.

No, I don't see that checkbox under the reply to section.

I think you should send a message and ask THOSE people how they were able to respond to the group. ?We can only guess, they could answer your question.?
?
If you sell an item, why not just delete the OP?
