I think that activity to groups will be increasing.
Another aspect of recent changes in groups feature would be that, nobody will be able to see other person's all post (from recent posts) unless the other person post in the mutual groups. |

Sponsor | | Jack-Benny | Apr 30, 2004 9:40am | EXCELLENT idea! I just mentioned to Cloudhopper this morning how difficult it is to find out if a specific user has posted, and where.
We're all isolated from one another, unless we all join dozens of groups just to keep track of each other. I think maybe in addition to the new individualized recent posts list, we also have a page that shows a set number of recent posts for all forums, like the old version. |

Sponsor | | CastorQuinn | Apr 30, 2004 9:43am | | Just a point: do all users want everyone to be able to see where they are posting? This would seriously facilitate trolls who target individuals, following them around, and also just seems a bit big brothery. If you want to know about someone's groups, you can ask them. |

Sponsor | | Millerbull | Apr 30, 2004 9:45am | | I agree, unless you devote enormous attention to the recent postings AND as JB says join a dozen groups...you are isolated. We need some type of summary page that informs the reader of recent activites (the last few days or so) in the forums. Otherwise, you can become lost if you take a day off.... |

Sponsor | | Millerbull | Apr 30, 2004 9:49am | | 3: although I see CQ's point. Actually, I would be happy if we just expanded the "recent posts page" and provided a link to "my groups" from that page... |

Sponsor | | CastorQuinn | Apr 30, 2004 9:50am | | Yes, that's my preference. And then, if it turns out the number of 'forums;' is still making navigation difficult, we could assess other solutions. |
|

Sponsor | | Jack-Benny | Apr 30, 2004 9:53am | | Yes I could just send a couple of dozen people messages asking then to message me back whever they make a post to a group I don't want to join, but just read. Yeah that makes sense. |
|
|
Sponsor | | CastorQuinn | Apr 30, 2004 9:54am | | Yeah, I think so too. Well, if we all think that's a better strategy, that's good. |

Sponsor | | Millerbull | Apr 30, 2004 9:57am | | Don't take this the wrong way JB, but if you want to see your friends postings then join their groups. I understand the fear of joining too many groups, but why not join a ton of them, find out where your friends are, then leave all the groups that don't appeal to you (for a variety of reasons). That's what I am doing -- i joined a bunch of groups and I'll see which ones I want to keep. |

Sponsor | | Jack-Benny | Apr 30, 2004 9:57am | | If a troll has targeted someone, all they have to do is go to that persons profile a make a list of their groups in order to know where they are. |
