APUG Social Groups System Launched!

Thanks Sean,

In a future revision it would be nice to have a file repository in the goups. In the case of the Sinar group it could be manuals, catalogs or whatever.

It's the 1st version of the system so vbulletin will likely improve on it soon. There are also ways to modify it and I'm looking forward to some plugins for it. I would like to see such things as categories, notifications, pm notifications on invite, etc

Also, you could use the create forum link which will create a Sinar forum attached to the group. You can then make a thread to hold downloads..

Sean, can you clarify what "Public," "Moderated," and "Invite Only" mean in the group setup/edit menu?

I assume public means anyone can join and post.

Does moderated mean both membership and posting require moderator approval, or just posting?

Does invite only mean that membership requires moderator approval, but once invited, one can post without approval?

As far as I can tell:

Public- wide open
Moderated- People can join but group owner must approve them (once approved posts are not moderated they can post freely)
Invite Only- Once invited the link to join becomes visible for the invited member

I can get those descriptions in place today or tomorrow so there is no confusion

Not sure if this is correct place but since it is group related here it is:
I have created a forum in the Contax / Yashica group and added a post to that forum which is to be for contax downloads. Can I make that post a sticky or do I need to ask you to do it?

Thinking about it, there would little point in it being a sticky unless I could go back and add stuff to it in future. As one the moderators of a group forum, am I able to do that or will the edit function disappear after the usual time?

I dont know if it a bug, but why does it only show 10 members and not 12 like there is space for ?

You should have a link at the bottom of that box to show all group members, if not let me know
