APUG Social Groups System Launched!

[Sean]

I do have the option to show all, and it works. But it still shows only 10 users, when returning to the normal view.

I think it will show 10 in that block so that if 300 people joing a group the group page will not explode..

But why is there space for 12 then ?

You could host it at a media site such as mediafire.com then link to it. Not sure I can handle that kind of bandwidth etc

Are You sure it will be a bandwith problem, if the file system is limited to the social groups. the normal filesize limits should be used in the forums. If You look at the number of groups and the number of members in the groups. It seems very limited.

That's might be a function of the screen size. I suspect it looks different with a larger screen.

Albums are within your profile, a place where you can dump misc pics. Go to "My APUG" and "Pictures & Albums". You can then create a personal album for the group and place images in it etc. A bit convoluted but that's all the software has to offer at the moment.

I open the pictures and albums section and there is nothing...just a blank page. At some point (probably by accident) I added two headings in there somewhere (Not sure what I was trying to create!) but they are duplicates. There is no way to delete one...or both. Can someone check the "architecture" group out and straighten it (and me) out?

When I go to the group messages they are now in reverse order of what they were. Now the very first post is at the top and you must go to the last page and scroll to the bottom to find the most recent posting. Can it some how be customized or put back to having the most recent post on top when you open it?
Thanks Dennis

Dennis, there seem to be a few other Forum glitches today. So Sean must be tinkering.

We had a lot of people wanting it to show most recent posts last as the forum system does. Today I'll be adding a page index to the top of the page and you can go straight to the last page. I may also add the option to view it either way. stay tuned..

 

[Sean]

ok, i have redone this. There is now a link that allows you to choose the option. And I added a page nav on the top. Hope that helps

Has anyone started a group for single photography nuts looking to date other single photography nuts?

 

[Andy K]

I don't know if this has already been asked, so apologies in advance if it has.

Is there an option anywhere to receive reply notifications for posts in Groups?

 

[Sean]

Might be coming soon, some of us on the vbulletin forums are chipping in to pay for some code..

 

[Andy K]

Hope it isn't too expensive, if it is I can live without it.

 

[Sean]

Shouldn't be too big a deal and it's needed. I find it annoying as well that I don't have notifications for the groups..
