I thought group owners had that ability but I will have to test it with my alter ego... Since I have all the admin privs sometimes it's hard to see what normal users have.“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." -- Edmund Burke

#2.109-01-2019, 06:42 PMEditing a commentI looked before asking and didn't see anything. If the answer is yes, please advise how we do it.

09-01-2019, 06:46 PMEditing a commentI invited you to a test group using my other account so we can test it out, I can delete and merge my own topics/groups. Can you try creating one in my group (TestGroup) and I'll see what options are available.

Ok, so I see your post and I have the option to delete it or merge it (can't move it).
Click on the little numbered checkbox at the right of the post, then the pencil and paper near the top of the topic.
These options should be available to any group owner or moderator as the account I'm testing under is just a "registered user" with group ownership.

Also, is there any way to remove deleted threads? I had to delete a thread in a group I mod (the ISO & Destash group), but it still shows up on the threads list as deleted. It would be great to be able to make it go away - or better/alternatively to be able to archive threads to another location rather than delete.

Probably having a "group moderation 101" wouldn't be a bad idea.

The group type is "Public", not sure why some are still needing approval, I was able to join with my alternate account without approval. "Moderated" is users request to join and have to be approved and invite would be you have to specifically add people.

09-02-2019, 05:35 PMEditing a commentdon't feel bad, I "could swear" and then realize
YES I checked the box, but maybe NO I did not scroll down to save the changes.
not saying that is what you did, just what my usual failure to complete all too often.

There two types of delete - not sure if both are available to groups.
one is a Soft Delete - and it can be reversed - say if there is something about the post you want to discuss with the group memember
the other is a Permanent Delete, and when it gone, it is pretty much gone. The original poster may still have it in their records - I forget where but I wanted to find a post of my own I had deleted for personal reasons.Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but not their own facts

My personal views & Opinions may well not be those of the owners, management and other moderators - nor, are they intended to be personal, but may require adult sized undies.

I can only view the first page of the list of members in a group. There is a little arrow in the upper right hand corner to go to the next page but nothing happens when I click on it.Shelly in South Carolina

11-06-2019, 09:44 AMEditing a commentI am using the Fiberkind format and I don't have numbers at the bottom of the page, only the top and clicking it does nothing. I was going to invite someone to join a group but wanted to make sure they hadn't already before I did.

If you want to test it, send me an invite from the UFO Support group. I am pretty sure it will come up with a notice saying I am already a member.
Let me know if that works.

11-10-2019, 09:01 AMEditing a commentI think I sent you an invite, I didn't get any message that you were already a member. This isn't a big deal now but something that could become one as we grow. I'm sorry to hear that Admin is swamped.
