Admin - Is there a way for Group Owners to moderate their groups by deleting or moving posts?

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

I looked before asking and didn't see anything. If the answer is yes, please advise how we do it. -
Admin - I got the notification about the Test Group but when I followed the link, it asked me to join. I clicked Join but got the message that I needed an invitation.

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.

Admin These choices are definitely available to owners. I merged some posts yesterday.
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.Comment

It should only show up as deleted to you, "normal" users won't see that, one nice thing about being able to see the deleted stuff is sometimes links will still point to it and people will get an unauthorized error, at least if someone asks you can see it to tell them it was deleted. -
Admin - Aha! OK. I didn't realize that other users couldn't see that. Thanks.

Admin I'm learning things in this thread. I don't know what the Merge posts means and Invert selection , is there a place that explains what these mean. Learning as I go! Thank You!Nothing is impossible, the word itself say's "I'm Possible"

The help pages have a decent amount of info, but not all the details on moderation. https://fiberkind.com/help
Probably having a "group moderation 101" wouldn't be a bad idea.

Admin - When I set up the Yarn Sale Alerts group, I thought I saw a choice for how people could join. The two choices were me approving them or automatic approval. I thought I chose automatic. I've gotten a few that needed approval but others were automatic. I went back through the settings to double check and could not find that setting. Can you clarify where that setting is and any explanation for why some people need approval?Naperville, IL - Growing zone 5bComment

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.

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

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

Admin, I'm sorry I didn't tag you in the last post, I want to invite someone to join a group but don't know if that person is already a member because I can't read the second page of the member list. Off topic - I also can't post a link with a preview thumbnail because the box "No preview thumbnail" is checked and can't be unchecked. Thanks for your help with this!Shelly in South Carolina

I 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. -
FreedomLover - I believe it won’t let you re invite someone if they are already in your group. I know this is on Admin ‘s list of things to look at but he’s been swamped.
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. -
I 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.
