Actrually, after I looked, the new member box was not checked, as I said below.&nbsp; So I
don't know why it was holding the messages.

No, You are in the right place! First off I think that a google group is not
the best idea for what you want to do. I would use a forum. You would have
to get webhosting and a forum script like (phpbb). Or just look at
http://www.proboards.com/. But google groups is ok for this purpose. I have
noticed that some of the checkboxes dont work in the new groups beta, but
they do in the regular groups interface. Members must be members for awhile
(usually a few weeks) for them to lose their "new member&quot; status. I think
you checked the "new member&quot; box for moderation and not the "not member&quot;
box.
