How to Create a New Group?

Groups can be created directly under existing Forums.

Category » Topic » Forum » Group

eg:
People & Family » Pets » Cats & Dogs »
My New Group


If you are able to create a new group under a particular Forum,
you should see a Button below the Forum Info section, which reads:

[ Create New Group ] 👈

@Andrew Thank you for replying Andrew. Awesome :D !!!

I made it but it's under: Languages> Hindi> Language . ... and I am not Hindi.
https://similarworlds.com/language/hindi/my-beloved-yiddish-my-culture

Unlike Arabic and Hebrew, Yiddish is not a Semitic language; an important language of European Jewry, Yiddish originated as a medieval, German dialect written in the Hebrew alphabet.

I would like to move it please?
How can I do that Andrew?

Thank you so much,
Luna.

Hello Luna,

We have restored an old Group about Yiddish Language, into a Forum,
and have then placed your Group under that new Forum:

https://similarworlds.com/language/yiddish

I hope this helps.

Kind regards!
@Andrew I found it. I like it. I hope to not lose it ...Let me check my page....

Thank you very much for doing that.
I did not look, but I am going to. And if I am struggling, I will write you on here, is that okay? :)

(I must get to eating now, as my glucose is dropping fast! )

Can we have anonymous confessions back?
HumanEarth · F
@Andrew I see your point the website "Girls Ask Guys" have anonymous. They really have to beef up the amount moderators.

For a while it really got out of hand.
Sazzio · 31-35, M
@Andrew AH! Yes... so may not be a good idea.
Nanori · F
@Andrew

Especially if they can do this in a crafty way that doesn't directly break the TOS, as to not be penalized,

But people already do that 🫣 yeah it also might flare up for a while but anonymous means anonymous to us, not to you right? So they still can get warnings, no?
How about a test run? 😁 To see if pros beat the cons

Rather than create a new group, can you give us back control of a group that we created on EP that is still here?
HumanEarth · F
Now that would be awesome

Thank you @Nuno and SW Team.
I think something that would hugely improve the SW experience would be private groups, that is, if there could be groups that only people in the group can post to and see posts in (and where the group owner/manager could remove members if necessary).

That would allow for a genuine and safe sharing of experiences and "similar worlds".
@SW-User Could this be used as a means for bullying, though???
SW-User
@HootyTheNightOwl I don't see how?
@SW-User Let's say that Mary has a problem with John and she reports him. The auto block kicks in - but she's still not satisfied. So she creates a private group and now they're all slating John with no intervention.

We don't even have private groups yet and we already know that bullying is something of a problem on SW. This feature, used responsibly could be beneficial... but it could also give bullies and pedophiles private places to congregate.

Buenos Días, Nuno:

@Nuno: Me gustaría que regresará la función especial que tenía Iorbix y la que más usabamos en Iorbix, la favorita: las Notas de Muro. Con esa función estariamos más felices todos los que migramos de Iorbix y la extraño mucho. Hay muchos recuerdos que desearía recuperar de las Notas de Muro.

Se lo agradecería de mano. Saludos...



Good morning, Nuno:

I would like to see the special function that Iorbix had and the one that we used the most in Iorbix, the favorite: the Wall Notes, return. With that function, all of us who migrated from Iorbix would be happier and I miss it a lot. There are many memories that I would like to recover from the Wall Notes.

I would appreciate it by hand. Greetings...
@Silfide the importing of iOrbix content is still being worked on. Comments made on the iOrbix wall may appear on the SW whiteboard once that is finished.
Silfide · 36-40, F
@NerdyPotato Sería bueno que regresarán aunque la pared de Iorbix, aparezca en pizarra SW.
Silfide · 36-40, F
@HootyTheNightOwl Con que regrese lo que pido, ya me sentiría más que completa. En verdad. Extraño y necesito recuperar lo que habia publicado en el muro de Iorbix.
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
Thank you.

Any idea on length of time on actual group moderation options that you once mentioned?

Note: I just put up two different group images on the fly, to see if it works. Seems to work just fine for me.
SW-User
sweet 😌 thanks

thanks ! My be creating some more relevant groups with IMAGE
ChiefJustWalks · 26-30
YAY I've been waiting for this 👌
LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
@MsSwan I've already added images to all of my forums. Like I said, I've been waiting for this day.

Don't worry, @Andrew and @Nuno, I didn't use any images I would regret.
HumanEarth · F
Oh that's really cool
How can I edit the category of a group I created.? The placement of where I put my first group isn’t the best place to be.
@Nuno The group is Skepticism. Religion & Spirituality > Beliefs > Freemasonry > Skepticism

I think it would be better placed in Agnosticism. Or just without the Freemasonry. Thanks
Andrew · Admin
@BlueSkyKing
Hello, we have looked into this now.


"Skepticism", actually should have existed as a Forum already, as it is a broad sub-topic of discussion.


It seems as though Religious Skeptics mostly overlap between Agnostics and Atheists.

Thus, this Forum may better be placed under "Beliefs" (as your comment does suggest), rather than being placed under the Agnosticism or Atheism topics.


We have now consolidated posts from various related groups, and created this as a new Forum:

https://similarworlds.com/beliefs/skepticism


We've also went ahead and moved your group, now placed under this same Forum.


I understand that the Titles are now the same.

I'm not sure if you prefer to continue using this Group (while the Forum now exists),
or, if you'd like to rename it more uniquely.

It's up to you.


Sorry for the inconvenience.
@Andrew Thank you for the assistance. The new forum is fine.
ThickMadame · 51-55, F
Good stuff😀
Miklee02 · 51-55, F
How do you make a group?
Andrew · Admin
@Miklee02, @HumanEarth,

Please see the Group creation instructions here:

MrBrownstone · 46-50, M
@Miklee02 The group “what do you think of JohnOlinger and would you do him”?
Miklee02 · 51-55, F
@Andrew thank you 😊
This is very cool. Thank you. 😊
adobo ·
yey. i can update the scary van confessions
pancakeslam · 41-45, M
@adobo yes you can
ImRileyTheDog · 22-25, F
When do I start getting paid for my DILF questions?
Classified · M
Do these group images get blurred based on the rating level (adult filter) we set?
Classified · M
@HootyTheNightOwl I can't see it (even if I fix the link), but I take your word for it.

I assume they will yes.
@Classified Figures why you're not a member anymore, then...

Do you allow adult content??? Dumb question, I know - but I had long discussions with people to find that they had adult content blocked three hours in... 🤣🤣🤣
Classified · M
@HootyTheNightOwl Anymore? 😯 I think I haven't joined a group (on purpose) in ages. 😅

Often yes, but at times I've filtered it away.
The adult content here can be quite disgusting, I don't blame them. 😅
Thank you.

What if the image is not a new image, but, is contained in my photo files, how to upload that? Or is there no way?
@TheSirfurryanimalWales nope. did not work, it's asking for a new image download.
I am on a chromebook.
@LunadelobosIAMTHEDRAGON if it is on your SW photo file I have no idea why it is not uploading.
You need an expert.
@TheSirfurryanimalWales It did not give me an option to use my existing albums.

I just did it my way and it works. I am the expert.

Sweet! Thank you.

But I can't find the "manage group" button after going on two of my groups.
Andrew · Admin
@Magenta
Could you create a support ticket, directing us to the created groups you mention?


I'm not yet certain that we are currently displaying the Admin of each group.

However, the "Manage Group" option, is supposed to be visible, at the front of your Group.


💡 If you are using a Mobile Device,
you may need to press the "Three Lines - Orange Button", to the top of the Group, to expand the available info and options.
Magenta · F
@Andrew Yes, I shall create one, thank you.
I'm on my PC but did try it on my mobile phone and no luck there either.
Lilymoon · F
@Magenta I'm having the same problem. lol
Lilymoon · F
I've just created a group but the "Manage Group" feature is missing? How do I fix this.
Thanks
Nuno · Admin
@Lilymoon Hi. What Group exactly? Do you still have that problem now?
Lilymoon · F
@Nuno Hi Nuno...no it seems to be fine now. Thank you
All my groups have pics now 🥳🎉🥳🎉🥳
What about adding direct recipient replies in gifts?
Where only the recipient and gift giver could reply
How long do you have to wait before the "Manage Group" icon shows up after creating the group?
Lilymoon · F
Can't find the "manage group" button on one of my created groups.
LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
Thanks, guys. I've been waiting for this moment.
MethDozer · M
When are we going to be able to moderate our groups and limit membership?

@allygator18 when you create a group you become the admin for that group because it is literally your group that you created.

@Silfide look in your whiteboard section to see if that was imported. If you did an import that is.
