My Yahoo Group is unlisted, and we need to be added back to the directory. Is...

[txdzandiloo]

...this possible & how? We were once listed & potential members could find us simply by typing "www.groups.yahoo.com/ourgroupname, but our previous President decided to remove us from the directory a couple of years ago-we don't know why! It has wreaked havoc on our ability to recruit/add new members, because now people can't find us if they aren't invited after they fill out an application on another website...we desperately need to be listed! We've been told it's impossible, but I don't believe it. There has to be a way to change our setup so we will once again be listed in the Yahoo Groups directory, and our potential members can find us without having to go through a bunch of hoops. Please help!

Here is how you can do that:

But as far as I can remember, ıf you owner / moderator changed your group to "restricted" you cannot change it, so it won't be listed in the directory: never.

But to be sure you can contact the customer care:
