I did NOT have the group set to Announcement Only. I tried twice to post that the group will be closed until Monday morning. And twice It has never showed up. What's going on?

Did you send the message from a "correct" email address?

Have a look in your Activity log to see if there any clues there.

Janie,

I tried twice to post that the group will be closed until Monday
morning.

How did you post to the group?

Via New Topic or Reply on the group's pages? Or via email to the group's posting address?

And twice It has never showed up. What's going on?

Never showed up where?

Do you mean that the posting never appeared in the group's messages section? Or do you mean you never received it in your email inbox?

Either way, as Chris suggested a look in your group's Activity log is your best initial diagnostic. If the message is logged there the log entry will tell you what happened. If the message is not logged there then you may have addressed it incorrectly.

I checked Activity--no clues. It just shows that I "Changed the group settings" which is about unchecking Announcement Group only, then Entered . I even went in, rechecked it, then unchecked it. Nothing. Even looked to see if my Test email was listed, which I posted several times. Nada.?

What might be going on and how do I undo whatever is going on?

Wait, I just replied to both of you--Chris and Shai, and am not seeing my replies.?

But wanted to update. I changed the email response for me as Janie, to owner, and that did the trick. I don't understand why, as I've posted as myself many times before.?

Janie,

Wait, I just replied to both of you--Chris and Shai, and am not seeing
my replies.

GMF is 100% moderated, and the moderators aren't available 24/7, so there can be delays before a post shows up.

I changed the email response for me as Janie, to owner, and that did
the trick. I don't understand why, as I've posted as myself many times
before.

I don't even understand what you changed. More detail would be helpful.

If you mean that you were posting from a Reply link in the group's Messages page (or from the New Topic page) and you changed the From address of your reply (or topic), then perhaps your previous attempts were held pending or rejected owing to your Posting Privileges.

I checked Activity--no clues.

The group's Activity page logs about everything relating to postings, so that's a surprise. Make sure you're looking at the Activity page in the group's Admin pages, not the Activity History tab in your Membership page.

It just shows that I "Changed the group settings" which is about
unchecking Announcement Group only, then Entered

If, in exchange for unchecking Announcement-Only Group, you turned on "Message Moderation" or checked "New Members Moderated" that would support the idea that your prior attempts may have been held in the Pending message list. Your Role as Owner does not automatically bypass any message moderation settings.
