We just opened up the Groups feature for all registered members of SMF.
Create groups, join groups, create discussions, post messages, upload photos, network.
Members can create groups with various options to best manage your topic and network.
- Create publicly joinable groups.
- Create Invite Only groups.
- Option to limit group discussions to group owner.
- Join-to-View groups. (Must be a group member to view photos/discussions/posts within the group)
- Upload group image.
- And of course, more.
We never really fully rolled out this feature on the forum because we weren't sure how it would be used or what specific benefits it would provide to members. Until now only a small percentage of members had permissions to participate in, create, join or even view Groups.
The ability to CREATE groups is limited to members who have made it to "experienced" status (or above) on the forum. However now ANYONE has the ability to join public groups AND the ability to be invited to invite-only groups.
Guests (non-registered members) can view public groups, however they cannot join them.
We will try to incorporate the Groups feature more prominently over time.
For now, you can access Groups on SMF by clicking on the "Community" link in the navbar at the top of the forum and selecting the "Groups" option.
Alternatively you can use this link,
Groups - Scrap Metal Forum - The Official Scrap Metal Recycling Community
There you can view groups, join groups, and create groups.
Any questions, feel free to post them here!
