I am sure that there are minimum requirements somewhere on NING for users. It would be great if the admin of this group would point those minimums out for users!

Browser issues:

Firefox 2 will not load chat.
Opera 9.64 seems to work.

Hi to all concerned. The North Somerset Families and the Somerset Group have now merged. We are now Somerset Families Group.

I am the Group Admin and Christine is there to take over if I am away or in need of a rest! ;-)) LOL

Jill

Thanks

Jill

Please consider distinqushing by name between the disucssion forums at the home page and the group page discussion forums. Members of one group who set out to post to a discussion on a group page end up posting to the main page. Of course, these are apples and oranges.

So in need of help. How can I enlarge the text sixe for a heading in the group page text box?
The line I'm working for is already bold and underlined. ... would rather have it enlarged than underlined.
Please post your challenge to the Most Wanted! Discussion Forum.

To my comment earlier today ... please add a request to also move the "add disucssion" button.
I have expanded our discussions to show 20, which is good for those visually inclined; however, now our members, especially new members, have a hard time finding the add disucssion button.

Suggestion: Placement of r RSS Feed icon, "view all" and "Notify-email me when there are new discussions.".
On group pages, can the programmers move these important icons/links to the START of the discussion forum? If placed under the leading "Discussion Forum" bar, each would be easier to find on the group pages where the number of disucssions is great or otherwise exceeds group admistrators "show" setting.
Currently, one has to scroll through the first group of discussions to find the "view all" link; only from the "view all" pages can members select RSS or Notify options. If you the number of discussions falls to a second page, It's not even obvious from the first page that these options exist.
Current discussion sorting limitations favors the most recent discussions topics and those that have received the most or most recent attention. I understand the priority; however, as a group administrator, would like to view those that have rec'd the least attention. Ditto, not just view the topics in reverse chronological order ("Newest..." first, as per the drop down box), but also in chronological order (ala, "Oldest.." first).
Thank you for considering these Group Admin requests. --GJ

M. Diane Rogers -- OK, you got me! Pardon my Americentrism, but I was speaking of the American Civil War
Comment by M. Diane Rogers on July 26, 2009 at 3:01pm
Now which Civil War would that be :-)
Comment by Doug Tallman on July 26, 2009 at 1:47pm
I've noticed we don't have a Civil War group (though we do have Confederate Ancestors). I'd start one but my interest is just in passing. Something as important as the Civil War should rightly have an admin more devoted to the subject than me.
