New Social Groups.

[Carol]

oops That was me, each group has a leader or two and I nominated you, go and have a look at your group and you will now see owner tools. You can hand it back to me if you like

Ok Jim will have a go, got Amberkate in to help me, good to have support when dieting .

 

[haganap]

I've started a group called who wants to sleep with haggers and I can't even get Nikki to join ;-)

 

[Jandek]

Jim... how can I watch a thread in a group I have joined? Do I automatically get an alert if someone posts in it?

And you are not alone. But I thank the stars that led me to this site where I have found many other people of a like/lack of mind.

 

[joncris]

Jim Great idea........ Can we have a loony group........'O' no forget it we already have such a group and its called MHF

 

[joncris]

This is a very good idea...the diverse topics covered in MotorhomeFun should provide a few groups...
I for one would like one to cover Real Ale..what do others think???

Provided your buying

 

[haganap]

OK HOW TO USE THE GROUPS.

THOUGHT THIS MIGHT BE OF USE AS IT REALLY IS VERY SIMPLE AND I THINK WILL WORK A TREAT.



JUST FOR THOSE UNSURE I'VE DONE SOME SCREEN CAPTURES.

 

[old-mo]

Cannot see where your pointer is pointing on the first one, but counting from the right... I do not have what you are pointing at..

@old-mo you if you are on a lap top or ipad do you have three white lines? if so click those and drop down will show groups, one of the groups is specially for you.

@old-mo you if you are on a lap top or ipad do you have three white lines? if so click those and drop down will show groups, one of the groups is specially for you.

I think it might be to do with 'screen resolution' or 'zoom setting'. I'm on my desktop and I only have 3 white lines and not the word 'group'.

 

[big map]

If you hover over the lines there should be a drop down with subscribe, members, groups etc. I will try and screen shot later.

[old-mo]

Broken Link Removed . as big map said.. look for the three horizontal lines in the dark blue tool bar .. see screen shot.. arrow

Found it, Jim.... Thanks to big map....

It`s easy if people would explain in simple terms... innit...

How will we know when new posts are in the 'Groups' ?

I understand the reasoning for having 'groups' to keep a topic in the one place.. and make it easy to find.. but if new posts are not on the front page .. do we need to search every group for new posts ?

for me they are just like DIY forums that are not listed on the front page.. this may lead to splinter groups.. and dare I say 'cliques' forming

Frankly I don't see why they are not just like new Forums where everyone can see what is going on..

If people want a private chat or to make private plans.. is Fun the right place ?
.. .. I say no..

just my opinion.. and I'm sure I'll get shot down..

Well -

The little ones are 1p, then there's the 2p.....you'll get the hang of it soon........

It's an age thing Chris

If you are a member of a group you get an alert for any posting in that group.

One example of how a group could be a good thing - If members of the uke group are going to play at a rally,they might want to discuss a 'play list' in advance so they all know what music to have with them.
I don't see any benefit of that discussion or discussions being held in an open forum.

yes, I fully understand the reasons and the benefit in that example.. an other good example would be a group planning a trip to XYZ .. but if a lot of topics end up in groups , some may even be private, some may need an invitation.. what will be on the front page.. so unless you join a group you have no idea what is going on..

we already have 13 groups.. I think it is the thin end of a wedge that may divide Fun..

I do hope I am wrong ..

 

[jim]

@ScotJimland If you join a group you'll be notified if there are happenings in it. Some groups that warrant it will have a forum section attached to it, so posts within will be seen as normal. Even if you don't join a group, all group discussions are public. No one needs an invitation

As for cliques, these exist in EVERY human group that ever grew greater than two people. I don't see how's providing a place for a dozen Funsters who share a passion for Ukuleles or Oxford the thin end of any wedge. On the contrary, it strengthens Fun because they are here discussing their passion and not on a facebook group.
