My FF3.6 is setup that way, but doesn't seem to honor it. Guess it's a bug.

Strange, it works for me (same as Chrome) in FireFox 3.6.3.

As I am preparing a proposal for a CP web service, I was thinking of setting up a group of existing members, so we would have our own little forum to discuss matters. As I am new to creating groups, I encountered several problems:
1. the FAQ does explain how to set up a group, it does not tell what a group is, and how it would work.
2. In the "Me" menu, there is a "My Groups" item. However under "My Settings" there also is a "My Groups" tag, and they each hold different things. A bit confusing.
3. while setting up a group (under the "My Groups" tab), any mistake brings me back to the first tab of "My Settings", which holds information about me, not about the group I'm trying to create. Very confusing, and likely to damage my settings.
4. the group needs a name, which apparently has to be unique in the universe of CP members. Not easy anymore. There isn't a simple availability test (Google has that).
5. the group seems to need an e-mail, not sure why, as I already get what I need in my Inbox anyway. I don't need another copy of the daily insider... (and I can't leave it empty).
6. and that e-mail has to be unique within CP space, quite annoying. It means I have to set up yet another e-mail account and probably make it forward to some other e-mail address.
7. I can now log out from my normal account and log in to the new group; not sure why I would want to do that.
Will future group members also have to or be able to log in as group member? I don't get it.
All I was hoping for was a little forum where a few people could come and chat on a specific topic. With a member list, no separate login, no distinct notification choices.
[ADDED]
In the mean time I did receive an e-mail which tries to explain things a bit. It mostly solves my #7, future group members will not have to log in in a different way.
8. It also contained the mysterious sentence:
Your membership was initiated from the following IP address: 0.0.0.0
which I don't mind too much. Just wondering.

There is a "test availability" button in a profile's edit page, but it is also a manual thing and needs to be auto.
The other points I will add to my existing set of points. I agree the process is suboptimal.

Using FireFox (with AdBlocker installed), every ad gets a little tab in its top right corner.
Looking at any CP page, that tab almost completely covers the signout widget.
Not sure what to do about it; having "signout" also as an item in the "Me" menu would be good.
|
|
|
|
|
Asking me to make changes to fit in with what AdBlocker is doing makes it very easy for me to prioritise this request.

When clicking Help!/General FAQ I get a page that is basically empty, none of the FAQ articles is shown. The reason is my article search filter contains a few keywords that are fine for a normal article search, not for a help.
Maybe "General FAQ" should just not show and hence also ignore the filter?

Good catch, Luc.

Hey, guys -
What would it take to implement a private forum for the above-mentioned user group? I gather from Roger and Piebald that this was planned at one time but wasn't completed.

Go to the forum and, if you're a manager of the group, you'll see an edit icon at the top left of the forum. Mark the forum as private.

Cool. I'll point Piebald at this.

Oh? When?
I'll go try it...
It's already checked.
I checked a few other boxes as well.
|
|
|
|
|
While we're on the subject...
Code Frog had applied, but as his profile doesn't say he's in the southwest, I didn't approve him, but somehow he got approved a few months back.
I mean him no disrespect, but if he's not in the described area...
|
|
|
|
|
Someone else may have approved him.
Edit the group, go to Members, and remove him.

I think that the description of the setting
Read Only? (only owners or members of the owner group can post)
is wrong -- I wasn't able to post when I set it.
|
|
|
|
|
The first post in a thread doesn't seem to indicate who posted it.
|
|
|
|
|
It was set as "Blog format". I've updated it.

And the "All statuses" filter doesn't seem to work as expected.

Unfortunately a known issue.

How do we bookmark a particular answer in Q&A?
For sometime now, I have been bookmarking the whole question to keep a note of it.
Am I missing the place/icon for it or the functionality itself is missing?
I am sure, I am not missing it out! 
|
|
|
|
|
It's not been added, but I'll add a note to add it.
