Yes, John.  No reason to segment users more than is really useful.  Having less groups to draw folks away is a good thing...I think.

Allan, is that why you combined the Mayberry Bible Study into the Chapel? So you wouldn't have so  many groups.

Only the community creator can create groups.  I really wouldn't want too many groups created because it would cause the community to become fractured.  Too many places to check and see what's being said.  Any new group creation will have to be very well thought out.  I'm not sure I should have created quite as many groups as I already have.

Allan, How come only you can add and make groups? I think it should be that EVERBODY that's a member of iMayberry Community should be able to make and add groups. What do you think Allan?

Introduction to the Latest Activity Feature

The Latest Activity feature is a stream of up-to-the-minute activity across the iMayberry Community. It shows off what's happening, from new photos that have been uploaded to new friendships that have been confirmed.

Members can update their status on the Main Page, comment on content, "Like" content and even view content, all from within the Latest Activity feed. This feature is a great way to highlight what's new and keep members informed so they can participate and interact with folks in our community quickly and easily.

To post a Status Update, click on the status box and type your message there. You can share with Twitter or Facebook by checking the box next to these icons and share your update with everyone.

Please note that if you have set your profile page to be visible only to members or friends, you will still be able to update your status on the Main Page, but your status will only display on your My Page. This may look like your status update has disappeared, but going to your My Page will verify that it hasn't.

To comment on an item in the Latest Activity feed, click on the comment icon to open up a text box.

For Photos and Videos, clicking on this icon will open up a text box within the Activity feed. Enter your comment, and click on the "Share" button to save your comment. For Groups, Discussions, Events and Blog Posts, clicking on the comment icon will direct you to the content detail page first, so that you can read more before adding your comment. For multiple media items uploaded at one time from one member, clicking on the item will direct you to the detail page, where you can then add your comment.

Hmmm.... trying to post things on the main page-latest activity section... can that be done directly by posting on that page only?? I'm having no luck on that. Do I need bigger wires?

:D

Scott, I think you're right.  I'm comparing what Jan see versus what I'm seeing and it looks like most thing show up in the "Latest Activity"  but only things from your "friends" will show up on your profile page. 

I'm sure there is a way to adjust the main activity feed to show less stuff but I'm not sure.

So, lemme see if I understand. Do posts by all members of the community get posted to "Main" and then only people you "friend" show up in the feed on "My Page?"

Scott, I believe you can delete your own posts but I'm not sure. As an admin, I know *I* can delete posts but I'm not certain about users being able to do the same.

I also have an "Edit" link under every comment I make so I can go in and edit what I'd already written.

OK, I see, now, where you can delete the original post and all the replies at once by hovering your cursor in the top right corner of the area of your post. Don't see that there's an option for deleting individual replies within a thread.
