SMF Members/Groups Threads

[themule69]

 
I have been following this post with interest and I don't know what the answer is yet. 

A lot of things have been mentioned that I had not thought about and I can certainly see how groups could be detracting from the forum rather than helping in some instances.

There are a few advantages to having groups such as knowing who the interested parties are (members), having a group lead (I guess we could assign a moderator over a sub forum to handle this), and being able to PM all group members at once.

Perhaps most of the groups should actually be sub-forums?

I will talk to the folks that build the software and see what can be done, then I will discuss what I find out with the other admins and see what we can do to try and make this situation better.

@squib, I appreciate you bringing this up and I appreciate all of the others who have shared your thoughts on this as well.

Continue the discussion if you wish and I will check back in as soon as I have something helpful to offer.

Thanks and happy smoken.

David
