Aaaaaand, many of these links are now outdated 😁👍
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@Nuno some I only list to show what the site was like years ago. As I mentioned to Jabulani.

Yet out of curiosity, other than that link, what other links are outdated?

I do make additions and changes to this file just like my group lists file. 😊

@DeWayfarer The Groups/Posts links changed after the update yesterday.

@Nuno how can this be outdated when there's a one stuck on to the front of the title still?

https://similarworlds.com/groups/new-member-at-similar-worlds/1-Hello-Similar-Worlds

BTW I have noticed the change to the group listing. Yet that number 1 still makes it the first, same for the second with a 2 in front.

And the large emoji I will look into. 🙃😁
Nuno · Admin
@DeWayfarer It's the format that changed.

What you have on your post:

https://similarworlds.com/3912759-I-am-a-New-Member-at-Similar-Worlds/1-Hello-Similar-Worlds


Versus the new format:

@Nuno thank you. Will change it. 😊

@Nuno concerning the groups renaming.

I noticed some are not renamed at all .... yet.

When will those posts in the odd groups be renamed?

Like this one?

https://similarworlds.com/1668591-I-Am-Testing


I do use it infrequently still. Yet as you can see it is also in the links above.

Other groups as well are not renamed ... yet.
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@Nuno Noticed also on the top of that group a set if links:

Similar Worlds > Groups > I Am Testing

Where the "Groups" link is rerouted to

https://similarworlds.com/topics

Instead to the groups link. So is this the official groups link?

Might have to add that link to this post is why I am asking.
Nuno · Admin
@DeWayfarer The Groups that still have the old format haven't been upgraded and are currently closed/restricted. Once those are upgraded (or merged to another group), they will be converted to the new format.

We no longer have the old Groups page, as we do not want to give more exposure to those old/closed Groups.
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@Nuno the above "topics" group is using nothing but the new groups though.

In fact the whole "topics" group is new to me. One I don't even have on my new groups list.
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@Nuno looks like I going to have to redo this whole help file and chalk this one up as an old revision. 😁

Oh well! Thank you for all you have done and are still doing! 😁
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@Nuno These changes good? 😊

Some additional stuff added.
