Daily Deviation

Given 2010-01-10
With an overwhelming number of suggestions I just had to feature Groups Introduction by =parallellogic. This tutorial is expertly laid out and full of all the info you could ever need on Groups.. and then some.

You're Home. ( Featured by `PurpelBlur )

For a reason I can't leave a comment on the log, to explain why deviation was declined, this message appears "Replies to the original deviant are not available for this type of message." :/ Any idea of what settings are wrong?

Perhaps that user has blocked you or the group? I've never seen that error before

How do you edit the process for joining? i.e. whether join requests can be made and whether they are accepted.

Group >> Admin Area >> Manage Members >> Members >> Join Requests: >> Are Subject to Vote...

Thank you... I can't see that setting, but that may be because I'm a contributor in the group?

The founder can hide settings from lower admins in the group, so that is likely the case.

Seems odd, I don't think either of the previous admins would have enabled that setting... maybe unintentionally? Thanks for the help anyway.

I think Contributors by default can't see/edit the Member settings, though I am unsure

I can see the "manage members" section and most of the member privileges, but...
