Unable to respond to group

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.
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.

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