ARE YOU A MEMBER OF A GROUP ?

@BlackWidow - IT currently doesn't seem to have automatic 'notifications' to group posts (unlike PMs and regular threads which advises you if a post has been made on a thread you've either started or commented on.)
The Mods are working on 'something' re notifications to all group members and specifically people who've been active on the thread. In recent days, I've been 'seeing some' notifications in the 'globe' next to your user name ..... but not all of them.
If the groups are to survive & be productive, they really NEED to be notified of ANY reply or new post ..... I see that in some groups, it is often the person's first ever post - and that's it - they aren't replied to and they don't bother putting up any more posts.
I now try to check the groups at least once a day ..... to prevent any distressing posts being missed.
And just be aware that not ALL the groups as 'private' - which means they can be seen by ANY member of the public ..... you may want to check which ones .... I've advised the Mods of 2 that I believe SHOULD be private .... matter of fact, I think ALL groups should be private ..... posts can be made both in the public forum AND the private group if you believe it will benefit those not in the group ....
take care xx
