I did look for a thread on this and had no luck-

Social Groups-- whats the deal??

Where do I find them.??

under 'community' at the top of the home page.

How do I join?
click 'join this group' also at the top of the group page.

What happens at them?
At most not a whole lot - but its nice to have a group with a common interest..

Of what use are they?

well.. IMHO very little if you fail to subscribe to them when joining-
be sure you click 'email notifications' this way you will know when something new has been posted ( like e LEM- that otherwise you would
miss)

How can I start a new one?

easy look when you click SGs on "community'

Why am I not able to join some of them?

the maker of the group can designate it to be a 'private group' thus you need an invite.

Why would they do that?

For many reasons- but mainly IMO--some groups are just not for everybody. many do not want trolls in their 'house'

How do I get invited to a private group?

ask the member that started the group

How do I invite others to a group?

go to the bottom of the main group page and click 'pending...'

I do i find who already belongs or has been invited?

click
'see all members'

click pending list..

What if I invite & they don't reply?

delete their invite and invite again- it will show as a notification(again)

or PM the invitee.


Why should I start a group?

One great reason it to be able to network with members in your area or your area of interest(s).

HAK"S PET PEEVE(one of many)

Those who don't add a sub. to a group that they are a member of...

They are missing out- I put a 'free lasers post' at one and so far only a very few saw it( maybe because they DID sub the group)

so if you belong to a group either add a sub, or consider un-joining

no sense belonging if you don't care what happen at the group.


************* last rant

IF you can PLEEEEASE find the time ...
ADD your location in your PERSONAL PROFILE.



Once you do that we no longer need to guess wth you are- you get better and more correct help/answers to Qs and if there is a social group for your area you may get an invite to join it ...just remember to SUB after you join!!!)


hope this helps hak
