Hi there, Is there a guide for learning the ins and outs of Discourse “Groups” The setup process went smoothly enough, but now that I’m trying to actually use the Group I’ve created, I can’t figure out how to simply post to the group. The awesome little avatar flair image shows up in the prev…

[изображение] CapedCrusader: If a user is in more than one group, which Flair will be used for that user? As far as I can tell, you can never guess. The only way to get things to work in terms of group flair is to manually set the Primary Group of every individual manually. And even then, you…

[изображение] CapedCrusader: I misunderstood “Groups” as some sort of private category with select membership and visibility. I’ve set up a few groups on my forums with accompanying private categories. I refer to these as “opt in categories” Having the ability to define arbitrary groups of u…

[изображение] ChrisBeach: if a user tries to follow a link to an opt-in category / topic that they’re not opted in to see, they get an unhelpful error, and no means of opting in. the “group page” / “group activity” model has no UX linkage to the accompanying category, and is therefore counter-i…

[изображение] ChrisBeach: the “group page” / “group activity” model has no UX linkage to the accompanying category, and is therefore counter-intuitive Can you do a feature request topic for this with proposed UX change, even a simple hand drawn thing is fine.
