Amethyst Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 I'm still not completely used to the new set-up of these forums. One thing I've been wondering about...what are SOCIAL GROUPS? I keep seeing them, but I'm not sure how they are supposed to be different than any other thread. I mean, obviously, they are meant to be social, but are these all kept in one place? Are they just capitalized to make it easier to find? As an example, I notice that the Book a Week thread is not labeled as a Social Group, but the Discussing Progressive Christianity is. Is that just the preference of the person who started the thread. Maybe this has been around a long time, but I've never noticed it until the recent changes. So I'm just curious, I guess.

Lady Florida. Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 On the old board there was a separate area for these groups. If you were interested you joined and you might or might not participate. It was almost like a mini board within a board (oh no, why is my ADD making me think of a dweam within a dweam? lol) Anyway, this board doesn't have social groups set up yet, though "they" say it will happen eventually. In the meantime, people are wanting those groups, so making a thread and calling it that is the best alternative for now. I think the all caps serve two purposes: 1. If you're interested in the group, you can easily find it by looking for all caps and seeing which one is "your" group, and 2. If you're not interested in a group you can easily scroll past the thread, because the all caps SOCIAL GROUP will tell you that's what it is.

Amethyst Posted January 17, 2013 Author Share Posted January 17, 2013 Oh. Ok. I guess I was not aware of them in the old forums. Now I know. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
