Groups can be created directly under existing Forums.

[i][u]Category[/u] ยป [u]Topic[/u] ยป [u]Forum[/u] ยป [/i][u][b]Group [/b][/u]

[i]eg:
[u]People & Family[/u] ยป [u]Pets[/u] ยป [u]Cats & Dogs[/u] ยป [/i][u][b]My New Group[/b][/u]


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:

[c=804600][b][ Create New Group ][/b][/c] ๐Ÿ‘ˆ

@Andrew [b][c=008099]Thank you for replying Andrew. Awesome :D[/c] !!!

[b][c=008099]I would like to move it please?
How can I do that Andrew?

Thank you so much,

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 ยท 56-60, M
@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.

@Andrew AH! Yes... so may not be a good idea.

Especially if they can do this in a crafty way that doesn't directly break the TOS, as to not be penalized, [/quote]
But people already do that ๐Ÿซฃ 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? ๐Ÿ˜ 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 ยท 56-60, M
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".
@ServantOfTheGoddess Could this be used as a means for bullying, though???
ServantOfTheGoddess ยท 61-69, M
@HootyTheNightOwl I don't see how?
@ServantOfTheGoddess 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.

[b]Buenos Dรญas, Nuno:[/b]

@Nuno: [b] Me gustarรญa que regresarรก la funciรณn especial que tenรญa Iorbix y la que mรกs usabamos en Iorbix, la favorita: las Notas de Muro. Con esa funciรณn estariamos mรกs felices todos los que migramos de Iorbix y la extraรฑo mucho. Hay muchos recuerdos que desearรญa recuperar de las Notas de Muro.

Se lo agradecerรญa de mano. Saludos...[/b]


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...

@SilfideOroro 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.

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.

How can I edit the category of a group I created.? The placement of where I put my first group isnโ€™t the best place to be.
BlueSkyKing ยท M
@Nuno The group is Skepticism. Religion & Spirituality > Beliefs > Freemasonry > [b]Skepticism[/b]

I think it would be better placed in Agnosticism. Or just without the Freemasonry. Thanks
Andrew ยท 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.
BlueSkyKing ยท M
@Andrew Thank you for the assistance. The new forum is fine.
Awesome ๐Ÿ‘
@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.

Do these group images get blurred based on the rating level (adult filter) we set?
Classified ยท 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... ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ
Classified ยท M
@HootyTheNightOwl Anymore? ๐Ÿ˜ฏ I think I haven't joined a group (on purpose) in ages. ๐Ÿ˜…

Often yes, but at times I've filtered it away.
The adult content here can be quite disgusting, I don't blame them. ๐Ÿ˜…
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.
TheSirfurryanimalWales ยท 61-69, M
@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.

In fact, none of my groups show me as the group admin.. I originally had created four or so.
Andrew ยท 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.


๐Ÿ’ก If you are using a Mobile Device,
you may need to [b]press the "Three Lines - Orange Button"[/b], to the top of the Group, to expand the available info and options.
Magenta ยท 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.
All my groups have pics now ๐Ÿฅณ๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿฅณ๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿฅณ
What about adding direct recipient replies in gifts?
Where only the recipient and gift giver could reply
Thanks, guys. I've been waiting for this moment.

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

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