How do you start a Social group? I can see that one group has been created, but I don't see a way to start a group.

tomm, are you going to start one for the Fab Fifties and Sizz Sixties? To answer your question, I do not have a clue. :D

That was my plan :lol: I suppose one of us will figure it out sooner or later!

I want to start a couple of groups too... but I don't know how ;)

When I go into "Social Groups" I see two items:

"You are a member of the following Groups" and then "Available Groups". At the bottom of Available Groups I have a link for "Create New Group".

It might just be because I'm an Admin, though. :ponder:

If you don't have that link, go ahead and let me know which groups you want to create and I'll make it for you.

Correct. You're an Admin, so you're automatically superior. :lol:

Can you make a College-Age group? And a SoCal group? If groups do what I think they might, then we could organize SoCal meets though the group.

How do you join a social group?

Go to the social groups page (from your User CP sidebar or this link (http://forums.longhaircommunity.com/group.php)), then find a group to join.

I'm also seeing the link for creating new groups, but that could well be because I'm a mod.

If groups do what I think they might, then we could organize SoCal meets though the group.

I'm not sure on the privacy restrictions on the groups, though. For now, it's safest to continue using the meets board for that.

I can't seem to be able to join any groups. Perhaps the settings are such that only mods/admins can join a group?

Good to know. Still, I think it might be useful to have a compendium of local LHCers.

ETA: Thank you, but I still can't join the group :(

I'm not a mod, sorry. I would if I could, though!

I can't seem to be able to join any groups. Perhaps the settings are such that only mods/admins can join a group?

I'm not sure. You clicked on the name of the group, got taken to its page, and there was no "join group" link in the top right corner?

OK, I created a few more groups, and they're all set to Public.

But the only people I see belonging to groups are mods/admins. :ponder:

I'm not sure. You clicked on the name of the group, got taken to its page, and there was no "join group" link in the top right corner?

Nope, not for me. And I NEED to be a member of the TMI group-- my journal has gotten ridiculously TMI since LHC went down. It's where I belong. :D

I can take a screenshot and post it if it would help, but I've looked all over the group page, and though it says it's public, there is no link to join, that I can see. I specifically checked where you said-- I assume it's supposed to be above the "view all members" link?

OK, I created a few more groups, and they're all set to Public.

You're right, snowbear. I'll check back later.

Our Admins are super-quick, I tell ya.

OK, I've at least fixed it so that you guys can join existing Social Groups. We'll have to figure out how we'll be creating new groups going forward.

In the meantime, just let a mod or admin know what you'd like created.

Can we have a Cone Lovers group, a Shampoo Bar Users group, and a Stay at Home Moms group pretty please with jojoba oil on top? (Kim is trying to lose those pesky 5 pounds, so my hair may as well get some treats)

I've created some groups for various hair lengths. Let me know if we need more.

African hair
Asian hair
no trim

If anyone wants any of these groups or others I haven't thought of, just let us know what name you'd like it to have.

Ooooh, a NZ group would be great, thanks! :p
And what about a group for a length in between waist and classic? - maybe a Hip/Tailbone group?

Awesome! Thank you - you honourary Kiwi. ;)
I think the names are fine as they are.

I think that many people here were inspired to grow their hair because of an anime series or character they like....so can we have an anime fans social group?

I have joined 3 groups so far :wethree:

henna users



Yes please! Maybe Hennaheads?

ok-I would really like a group for the Southern Hair Growers,pretty please?

Could we have an Etsy group?.. There would be a lot of ppl interested!

I'll have to ask the rest of the mod team about that. I'm not sure that commercially related groups will be allowed.

DBF could we have some support group for the never ending journey from classic to knee length please?? :wannabe:

There's a classic group already. :)

ooh so it does include thigh length as well OK:)

Can we have a IBD-IBS Support group?:o

Uh, I guess? I was thinking it was for folks who've reached classic and may or may not be maintaining at classic. Some in the group will be maintaining, others headed for knee. I guess?

Can we have a PNW (Pacific Northwest) group?

What about:
- Political groups (or left/middle/right)
- Happy-go-lucky group
- Foodie group
- Other regions! Perhaps a "Forgotten Regions" group...haha

Sure thing.

I feel ignored =P Well then if not a IBD-IBS group how about a "Cat Lover" group? =)

I love the fact the groups will take a lot of the silly chatter off of the main boards. Speaking of silly chatter, I love the fact we have a TMI group!

Oh, I already created your group for you. Sorry, I just forgot to reply in this thread.

For all of us cooks who like to swap recipes or just to talk cooking?

Thanks so much for all your help!

Dianyla, or anyone that can. Could we have a "Cooking" or "Recipes" group?

Hi--can we start a running group? Thanks!

Can we have a Fine Artists Group and an Updo Lover Group?.. Thanks so much!

um,one more request from me-the girl that has nothing better to do than be on LHC.

Can we please have a Amateur Photographers group?

Gardening group?

I was thinking the same thing when I was picking flowers out my garden a little while ago.That and I really need to get a life if I'm thinking about LHC when I'm not on it.

OK, those have all been added. :smile:

Thank you, flaxen!

I have no idea if this is technically possible, but may I make two suggestions that I would find really helpful to have for the social groups:

In the top section on the social groups site, the one that lists all the groups you are a member of, would it be feasible to incorporate those little blue, red or yellow dots, like for the thread lists in the other parts of the forum, that indicate whether there are new posts?

Along similar lines, it would be really great if there was a function to flag the "last read" post, or get straight to this point - in groups, like TMI, that have quite a lot of posts in a relatively short time, I always spend quite some time trying to find where I last left off if I want to catch up on the conversation.

Thanks

I've added those two, Countess, and when you think of the third, let me know (no group for forgetfulness, I promise). :smile:

k_hepburn, I'll let the administrators know about those suggestions.

I would like a group for good internet shopping sites. I found no groups when I searched for "fashion" and "shopping", so I think there aren't any yet? (I wasn't going to read all 20 pages of this thread...:o)
Call it "Great finds on the web" or something like that? "Great buys.." "Great shopping"...
Or would that be too much like promoting other websites....hmmm....
I've seen a couple of threads with great stuff like HolyClothing, etc. It would be nice to find a lot of them all together.

Could we have a grief support group? I though it could be a more private way to talk about our losses and give a shoulder to those in need. Thank you so much.

Up to date. :smile:

Would it be possible to have a Photoshop, Graphics Junkies or Digital Manipulation group? :heart: :blossom:

It is, and you should now be able to create the groups without a moderator. If you are a member with 100+ posts and >30 days membership, you will see "Create a New Group" at the bottom of the social groups main page. :smile:

ETA: The ability to create social groups is now a perk for 1000+ posts/365+ days members. Please see this thread (http://forums.longhaircommunity.com/showthread.php?t=1658) for the most up-to-date list of User Permissions. :flower:

I see it! Awesome!

Alright! You ladies rock!!! :cheese::cheese::cheese::cheese::cheese: Thank you so much!!!


ETA .... Think I got ahead of myself ... I still can't see it. :(

This is what I see on the social groups page ... I've cleared my cache and temp internet files, but nothing has helped. Any ideas? TYIA!!

I think I know what it is, Sidani, and it's going to take an administrator to fix it. Hang on. :smile:

ETA: Can you see it now?

Hi Flaxen, and no, I still don't have that option. :( I'm sorry to be such a pain. It still looks just like it does in the pic. ^^

Oh, don't worry, you're not being a pain. :flower: I'll check with an admin about this. In the meantime, did you clear your cache since I posted yesterday?

Woooot! Wooooot!! I can see it now!! I don't know what you did, but you fixed it! :magic: Thank you, dear lady!! :wethree:

Just a quick update. The ability to create social groups has been changed to those of the old "guru" status. There are also some other exciting new perks; check 'em out (http://forums.longhaircommunity.com/showthread.php?t=1658). :eyebrows:

Done, Medvssa. :smile:

If I'm getting this...only mods etc can create a group, on users' behalves? Could you please create one for The Paranormal? Thx!!

People with 1000+ posts and 365+ days of membership can create social groups. You're almost there, intothemist, so I will create the group for you now and have Dianyla make you the owner. :smile:

Could we please have a Musical Theatre Afficionados group?
