Ask Knight (Archived)

*repeat* *repeat*

As far as the Groups. If I wanted to discuss a topic with only a select group of people being able to view and/or respond, would creating a group be the best way to do that?

Can you give a brief explanation of how the group feature works?

Is the Ask Knight feature only for subscribers?

Two points....

1. You might like the Active Threads page better. (it has a Chatbox on it already).

2. Click the word "Chatbox" on the chatbox and it will open a pop-up window with ONLY the shouts in it so you could keep your chatbox going with other windows.

:thumb: Thanks Knight

Let's get that taken care of. Stand by...

Can one subscribe to a group in the way one subscribes to a thread so that one is notified when there is new content? Or does that kind of defeat the purpose?

Once you save a blog draft, how do you post it? I couldn't figure that out.

From the blogs page click "your blog".

Click on the blog that is a saved draft.

Click the little pencil icon "edit blog entry".

Select "publish now".

Save.

Hey Knight,

Why does a mouseover on the Active Threads button change the Social Groups button to a second Active Threads button?

That doesn't happen for me.

Try emptying your internet cache and see if it still does it.

Also hit refresh a few times.

I've noticed the Social Groups to Active Threads glitch myself. :think: Doesn't harm anything though...so. :idunno:

 

[Aimiel]

What would it take to get Squeaky banned permanently? (Aimiel crosses his fingers, repeating, over and over: "Please say I just did so in three mouseclicks!")

Groups are just a simple way to connect with other people that share a similar interest.

You can comment and post pictures in your groups. Eventually the groups feature will be expanded.

Think of a social group like "buddies" except they are only for certain interests.

I guess my question is, if I wanted to have a private discussion with just those people in a group, is that possible.

One where noone else can see it or respond to it?

You can create a "invite only" social group where only folks you invite can respond. However, all members will be able to read comments they just wont be able to respond.

Try it now.

I no longer see the glitch.

Did you fix it yourself, or did you get webmaster to help? :chuckle:

Knight, is Turbo's username a nod to American Gladiators? (the one from the 80's, not the cheap imitation that's on now).

I would ask Turbo, but alas, I cannot find an "Ask Turbo" thread. :idunno:

I thought maybe it was a reference to the character in the movie Breakin' (or Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo).

Does :turbo: like to break-dance? :idunno:

Look at you, going all retro '80's on us!
Breakin' was a hot movie when it came out. Electric Boogaloo...not so much. I STILL wish I could do the windmill. :shut:

Those were the good old days, where if two people needed to settle an argument, instead of shooting each other, they had a breakdance battle. :sigh:

I STILL wish I could do the windmill. :shut:

Yeah, I always wanted to do that as a little kid. Unfortunately, by the time I was old enough to learn any real dance moves, I had moved on from breakdancing and was embarrassing myself with MC Hammer-like moves. But when I see George St. Pierre break into a windmill after he wins a match, I still get a bit jealous. :chuckle:

I also wanted to be able to do the dance that Turbo does with the broom. Never could figure that one out. :noid:
