Social groups

[tomm]

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.

[harpgal]

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

[tomm]

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

[kimberlily]

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

[Dianyla]

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.

[dancingbarefoot]

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.

[dancingbarefoot]

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.

ps. I love this multiquote funtion!!!

I tried to PM but my system doesn't work, could you please start a Pagans unite Social group please :)

TIA

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

[snowbear]

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

[dancingbarefoot]

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?

[Dianyla]

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

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:

[chloeishere]

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?

[tomm]

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

Thanks! Now, how do you post to a group???

Yep. I think the settings are such that only mods and admins can join. Hey, Dianyla...your first admin duty is to open the groups so all can join! :lol: (Or course, being LHC, y'all will probably put a post/day count. I think I pass the 100 posts/60 days. :wink:)

[dancingbarefoot]

It's here:

It could be that some setting isn't tweaked just right.

[moonchaser]

That link isn't there for me, DBF.

[snowbear]

Me either.

I'm betting it will get resolved once Steph gets some sleep. Poor thing is probably way too tired of coding.

[tomm]

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

[snowbear]

You're right, snowbear. I'll check back later.
You can check now! :lol:
Our Admins are super-quick, I tell ya.

[Dianyla]

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.

Have I mentioned lately how awesome you are? :yay:

[kimberlily]

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)

ETA: oh, and a NorCal group would be fantabulous too :)

[Dianyla]

Done!


67890

[moonchaser]

ooo, A SAHM group would be fabulous!

[Tabitha]

Would a mod be so kind as to start a UK group? thank you! I'm going to miss our "All singing, all dancing UK product thread".

[Dianyla]

UKers group created.

(By the way, I can't seem to leave any group that I create. In case y'all were wondering why I'm in almost every group. :uhh: )

[Tabitha]

Thank you Dianyla! does this make you an honorary citizen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland?

Okies, joining the band wagon, could we have an Australian social group as well please.

[Shermie Girl]

If you say so. ;):D

[Dianyla]

If you say so. ;):D
Alright, you found me out! I've got no life and no friends and so I'm just obsessively joining each one. Alright? Are you happy now?!?!?!?!

:p

[kimberlily]

Thank you, Dianyla :D

[Patrycja]

I really do want to start the "I have no idea how to work this new LHC" group.

that wasn't a joke :D

[trollkjerring]

Dianyla, do you want to join a german group also? What I really mean, could you start a group for german members, please?
TIA
trollkjerring

[suicides_eve]

can some on create a group for short hairs?

[trollkjerring]

Thank you Dianyla:) Who needs RL friends anyway?
trollkjerring

[dancingbarefoot]

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

more group ideas (updated once in a while):

men (Testosterone Brigade? :lol: Men with Long Hair? XY Hair?)
African hair
Asian hair
no trim
WO
Finns (there are a bunch of you!)


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.

[AprilElf]

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?
:flower:

[dancingbarefoot]

:flower:

Sure, no problem. What do you want them to be called? New Zealanders? Aotearoa? ;)

Hip/tailbone?

ETA: I've already created them, but the names can be changed quite easily if you'd prefer something different.

[AprilElf]

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

[Amalthea]

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?

[Alley Cat]

I have joined 3 groups so far :wethree:

[jel]

henna users



Yes please! Maybe Hennaheads?

[Patrycja]

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

[capelli lunghi]

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

[dancingbarefoot]

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.

[capelli lunghi]

Thanks DBF!!

[zift]

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


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

[dancingbarefoot]

There's a classic group already. :)

[zift]

There's a classic group already. :)

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

[Kittee]

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

[dancingbarefoot]

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

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?

[harpgal]

DBF could we have some support group for the never ending journey from classic to knee length please?? :wannabe:
I'll start one for you, zift.

Here (http://forums.longhaircommunity.com/group.php?groupid=37) it is.

[nowxisxforever]

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

[dancingbarefoot]

Sure thing.

[Kittee]

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

[snowbear]

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!

[dancingbarefoot]

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

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

[chelles2kids]

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

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

Thanks so much for all your help!
Michelle

[dancingbarefoot]

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


Good idea! Consider it done.

[girlcat36]

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

[capelli lunghi]

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

[Patrycja]

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?

[LilyMunster]

Gardening group?

[Patrycja]

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.

[Flaxen]

OK, those have all been added. :smile:

[girlcat36]

Thank you, flaxen!

[AmandaPanda]

How about a sci-fi group? :)

[Magdalene]

How about a sci-fi group? :)

Yes, please. Also a Performing Arts group (musicians, dancers, actors, etc...) Unless someone thinks they need to be separate groups :D

[Shorty89]

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.
Call me stupid but I can't find the meet boards on here. :crazyq:

[snowbear]

Call me stupid but I can't find the meet boards on here. :crazyq:
I don't see them, either. Since I'm well over the 100posts/60days, I'm assuming they're not added yet.

[Koala Kim]

I feel ignored =P Well then if not a IBD-IBS group how about a "Cat Lover" group? =)
Is there a kitty group and I don't see it? Which could very well be possible. :lol:

[snowbear]

The Callie :inlove: Says Meep group. :)
Callie is one popular kitty, that's for sure. A social group for her might be a good idea.

Maybe someone can PM Justy and see if she would like a mod to start the group for her.
I would but I still can't access PM's. :rolleyes:

I'm going a little overboard with this new version of the forums. I've joined a bunch of groups, organized my blog within an inch of it's life, made a chronological album of my hair, and in the last 48 hours have made 187 posts. :crazyq:

May we have an Agnostics/Atheists group?

[morningstar]

Thanks Flaxen for the fab 40's group.

Unless you specifically want a backpacking group, the Other LHC (Longhair Hiking Club) group should suffice.

[Raederle]

Delenn, if you look up at the top of your page, you will see a bar with various things on it, i.e. Home, UserCP, etc. Toward the end of the bar you will see "Quick Links". If you click on that you will find Social Groups and many other things to click on (and play with). :)

If there are enough of us, how about a military/former military/retired military group?

Fine arts are usually visual arts. In college they kept us in different buildings ;) Thanks!


That is true enough. In art school they even separated the fine arts from the graphics. I always smelled like turpentine and got some looks from the cleaner cut graphic folks.

A group for body mods or one for tattooed members and one for pierced would be awesome ^.^

Can we set up a group called : Bento! ? I know we have a cooking group, but it's really not the same. Thanks.

Well I see groups for the wavies and curlies... how about one for us wurlies who are inbetween the two? Pretty please? :D

Is there a way to tell which of your social groups have posts you haven't read yet? I have the same question about blogs.... is there a way to tell if one of your friends posted to their blog or photo album without clicking on every friend?

[vindo]

In case it hasnt been requested yet I would like to form a Middleages Group for all the Time Period Fans and Reenactors.
Maybe it should be called -Middleages and Renaissance- so more Periods are covered?
I know a bunch of LHCers with that hobby :)
I have been managing on Medieval Events in Germany for quite some time :) Cant be without it.

Yup! Peg's Hairem would be perfect ;)

And I don't mention my Hairem on the boards... other people keep mentioning it and asking about them O_O Oh the threads that have been made and the "WHO IS THIS PEGS GUY ANYWAY?" questions haha.

Hello mods!:D

I've found a few interested parties who would like to start a Native American group. Everyone is welcome to join, of course!

[Jaime]

I was thinking more like Charles Manson actually >_>You are such a cut-up. Your sharp wit leaves me in stitches. :p

A social group in which all your wives can commiserate with each other sounds like a great idea! :rollin:

I just hope the number of wives doesn't reach 200 anytime soon. :shudder:

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.

I would really like to start a group :D If that is possible. I will PM you-thanx for your help!

Is there a group for those of us with fine and thin hair?? I'm not sure I've spotted anything similar yet, but maybe I'm just not looking hard enough?

I'd like to see a social group for braid-fanatics.

And also one for the natural redheads (the hennaheads already have their own ;)).

There can, and there is now.

What about a group for the bikers? Motorbike season is coming :D

[WritingPrincess]

I don't understand what these social groups are. All the comments seem totally unrelated. Do you mind explaining, DBF?

[snowbear]

WritingPrincess, if you go to your UserCP, on the left menu you will see "Social Groups". They're simply fun groups you can join. There is a cheese group, a hiking group, a teenager group, and lots more! :)

[WritingPrincess]

Oh, thank you, snowbear. You are always so helpful.

[jojo]

would it be possible to have a support group for those of us trying to stop smoking please?

[CountessDeJager]

Is it too greedy to ask for several? I'm hoping for a caregivers group, one for skirts, and maybe ... well I keep thinking of a third but forget it every time I get online. Please don't make a forgetful group in my honor, I'd never remember to join. :p

[k_hepburn]

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

katharine

[Flaxen]

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.

[Presto]

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.

[morningstar]

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.

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 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?

whew... I made it to 1,000 posts! Unfortunately, I still do not see an option for creating a social group. Can anyone help me figure it out? Or perhaps I need to wait a couple days until the site registers that I've reached 1,000 posts.

Also, on a side note, wondering what other perks I can take advantage of now that I'm at 1,000 posts!

The perks come with 1,000 posts AND one year's membership (http://forums.longhaircommunity.com/showthread.php?t=1658). So I'm afraid you have quite a wait ahead of you.

Egads! The way it's written I thought it meant 1,000 posts OR one year of membership. I have to have both to start a social group?

[harpgal]

I have to have both to start a social group?Yes, you need both to have Guru privileges. That is, unless you can find a kind soul to do it for you. :)

[LisaJaney]

And, SISSY, you've got the postcount now...oh shoot, it's awhile til the time-frame is met. Dang! Write someone who's a guru and just ask. People here are awfully nice about stuff like that.

[Sissy]

Someone who is a guru? Is a guru just someone here over a year with more than 1,000 posts?

If anyone is willing to start it for me... I would like a group for "Health Management Resources, HMR" which is a diet program I am on (and have lost 25lbs on in one month). It is similar to Nutrisystem. I am not sure if anyone else is doing the program here but I would love to find out. The program involves eating a meal replacements and going to weekly meetings. I am doing pretty well on it so far.

Thanks,
Sissy

[Sissy]

also... I just went to the social groups to search NutriSystem thinking I could just join that group as I'm sure the programs are similar but it appears there is no NutriSystem group either. If someone starts the HMR group they could make it HMR and NutriSystem as I think the two programs might be similar.

However, if there is no interest in either of these groups then perhaps it's not worth starting it. I'm not sure if anyone else here is doing either of these programs. I was just looking for a way to get some extra support and chat about the program.
