group in All of The Pool

Hello,

GroupSwim provides a great way to communicate at the site and/or group level.  There is an announcement box at the top of the home page and every group page.  You can turn announcements on in either place using the following steps:

1. Click on “Site settings” (or “Group settings” in a group) in the gray navigation bar
   • This is only visible to site owners and site and group managers
2. Click on “Announcement”

Hello,

Since creating groups in GroupSwim is so easy, you can start blogs for your organization, team, or anyone for that matter.  Here are a couple of ways to do it:

1.    Create an auto-join (under Privacy and Permissions in Group Settings) group and name it Blogs (or whatever you want).  This gives anyone in the site access to it and anyone can post a blog and reply
2.    Create an auto-join group but make the blog for one person (one of our clients’ CEO does this).  Here is how you configure it:

Hello. I wanted to write a little bit about using the new "Custom Terminology" tool that we added to GroupSwim last week. 

First off, I want to point out that this feature is available to Site Owners Only. Site members do not have access to the following functionality.

This is a very cool feature; it allows you to rename the word 'Group'/'Groups' everywhere on your site to a term of your choosing. Want to call it 'Forums'? 'Channels'? 'Teams'? Go right ahead. 

What makes a member or a group "featured", and how can a un-feature a group?

Is it possible to keep the number of total members in a private group private from the rest of our community?

Thanks for your feedback!

I'm supposed to be a manager/admin/whatever for newscale-yes at groupswim.  However, I don't see anything in the UI that would allow me to edit the title of a group or edit the contents of a discussion. The only edit button I see is the one that allows me to edit the title of a discussion.

Please advise. Am I not set up correctly to get these capabilities? Or am I missing something?

Hello

I've tried a few times to invite people to join my new group, but they just don't seem to be going out (ie: the people never receive them). It is definitely not a spam-filter problem. I haven't paid for the service yet (although I am happy to): is this the reason?

 Thanks!

Hello,

When we move to the next version of GroupSwim on 11/15/07 at 4am PST, you will be able to turn your GroupSwim community into a public site.  In order to do this, please follow the steps below:

1. Click on "Site settings" on the main page

2. Click on "Privacy and access permissions"

3. Click on "Public" to change the site to an open site.&nbs...

is it possible to create subgroups within a subgroup, to create a hierarchy of group discussions?

Is there a way of seeing other groups available to join, such as a Mac related group, etc.?
