Social groups

[Steve Bullman]

The social group area of the site has been expanded upon in the latest site upgrades. Amongst other things you can now open individual discussions within your chosen group.

Please be aware, that these social groups add a whole new depth to the site, one that myself and the other moderators can not possibly hope to cover on a regular basis. The same rules apply to these areas that apply to the main forum, these can be read at http://arbtalk.co.uk/index.php?pageid=forumrules

 

If you have started your own usergroup or intend to, please understand that you are taking on the role of moderator in that area and that you are responsible for seeing that site protocol is met. These areas will be looked at from time to time and any usergroup in repeated violation of the rules will be removed.

 

Like all other areas of the site, please use your common sense, and above all, be civil!

 

thanks

Steve, when you go into groups and click onto social group discussions, in order to bring up the text and messages – they appear in order of ‘oldest message first’ i.e. you have to scroll through the pages in order to find the most recent message. Can it be changed this so the most recent message is the first one on view?

 

This is in no-way a criticism Obi-Wan, just an observation.

 

Cheers, John

not sure thats possible. ive increased the amount of messages per page instead so unless the thread gets very long most of the messages should show on 1 page

[Andy R]

also, which is the quickest way to access the social groups.??

 

and do members of the group get notified when a topic is posted?

That’s cool Steve, I guess the answer is to delete the older massages.

at the moment through the quick links button, but i may add a button for the groups.

you can subscribe to individual discussions within your group and you will get email notifications. this is in the discussion tools menu at the top right of the discussion you are viewing
