Hi,
Today my group is set with the " Archives are visible to subscribers only".
I would like to switch to the "Archives are visible to anyone".

Could you explain to me how to make this change of visibility of the archives ??
Thank you.
Regards

Can't be done.? Once the archives are made Private, they can't be returned to Public.? That's why there's a box that pops up warning you of this when you go to Private.

OK. I am French and this notion wasn't évident for me. I would like a private access for the writers (limited to the suscribers).?
But the archives could be public for the readers and web search..
I am very disapointed with that.
Thank you Duane for your answer.

If I'm understanding you correctly, that's the way all groups start out.? No matter which setting you use, only members can post to a group (unless it's an announcement only group.)? You can allow non-members to post, but those will always go through the moderation procedure.? The Private/Public only determines who can see the message archives.? Sorry that you didn't understand it before you changed it.

The warning that you would have seen when you made this change was:

----------------------------------------------------
*Verify Private Archives*
Are you sure you wish to make this group's archives
private? Private archives cannot be reverted to open
later.
----------------------------------------------------

I suppose it might not be 100% clear to non-native speakers that "open" here is a noun and not a verb, and of course, the word "open" is not the word that is usually used to refer to "public" archives elsewhere on the settings and help pages.

So, "Private archives cannot be changed to public later."? Or how would you have written it?

I suppose it also doesn't help that in the normal world, "public archive" means government archive, and not "private archive that is accessible to the public". :-)
