Women's Forum

[Marsha Gupton]

There has been very little participation on the women's group that I set up. Thoughts???

[Susan Unger]

I'm neutral. I guess I am waiting to see how things pick up after Easter.

[Gina Stevenson]

One thing I noticed when being reminded that there was a spot called "groups" here [then found it under "Community" at the top of the page] is this:

One cannot tell which posts they have read, or which they have not, as the all appear [the titles which -- in other forums are bold when not read, and not bold if already read] in the not bold format. And I knew I'd not read all those when I visited it last time.

Is there any way [Scott?] that these groups can show one which ones are read and which are not, so one can go directly to those not read, instead of trying to figure out where they last left off?

[Charlene Clevenger]

I just don't think about coming here. If it were with the General Forums I would see it and might stop by more often.

[Wanda VanWinkle]

I barely make it to the general discussion area and occasionally specifically go to look for books on the book forum. I just don't do that much internet discussion.

Yes, the Hosts' forum, while private, shows up in the normal forum list; new posts on it show up in the "new posts" section, too.

I don't want to ask Scott to make changes to the software since the women's board has a history of flucuating back and forth on forum options.

I understand what you are saying I think. If the women's forum was listed in the saying section as the general forum. However, when the forum page comes up if you click on co mmunities and then groups you can find us. I'm confused whether to keep the private group going to go back to the women's forum on the general forum page.

[Charlene Clevenger]

Going to Communities, then Groups, seems like an odd way to do it. Then when you get there I don't see a way to get to the forum. I always enter on the General Forum page. If I click on Forum, to the left of General Forum, I find the longer list with the special interest forums like this one. If this were with the General Forums, like General Discussion and Good Clean Fun, I would see it more readily. But maybe you don't want it to be so visible.

[Marsha Gupton]

I created the private group a couple of months ago after several said they would post if it was a closed forum. I'm t whenrying to assess if its been worth it if people have difficulty finding it. When I click on communities then group... all the groups I am part of show up and I click on the women of naznet link and it appears. I may have a different view set up... I'm not sure.

[Charlene Clevenger]

I'm sorry. I was wrong. When I logged in today it took me to the page with all of the forums. I just don't usually scroll down far enough to see the Women's forum. I'll try to remember to do that once in a while.

But that's not the private one, Charlene. The private one's not in that list; it's the one where you have to go to "Community" at the top, and then "Groups" and then ....

[Susan Unger]

Once there, I clicked on that I was subscribing to the group. Now it shows up in my settings section so that i can go to it very easily. I also get email notification of whenever someone posts in that group.

Ah! I didn't know it was something else completely. The "and then..." is where I get lost. I can't see where to go from there.

I see that I am a member of the group Women of NazNet on the left side, but I don't see what I'm supposed to do after that. What settings are you talking about? *asking nicely*

Ok, where are you stuck? as in what page are you on right now?

[Charlene Clevenger]

I think I see what happened. I clicked on the title of the Women's group in Groups and it took me to a forum. I thought it was this one, but I guess it's different. Is there an easier way to get there than with the Community drop down menu?

Yes, if you go to tools [while in the women's forum] which is in the upper right hand corner. Click on it and then click on subscribe to this forum and click on email updates. Once subscribed, you'll be able to get to the forum easily by going to the top of any naznet page where it says settings. Click on settings and you'll be taken to a page that shows the current happenings on the women's forum. And if anyone posts anything within 24 hours, you'll get an email once within that day letting you know that activity has occured in the forum.

You can also subcribe to beign notified by email of individual threads within the forum but you have to go to that thread and go to the tools section.

I think I need to create a link so that when I go to Naznet I go directly to the Women's Forum. My current link takes me to the page with all of the forums, and by the time I start at the top and read as far as Current Events, I'm often so frustrated/upset/depressed that I head somewhere else. I'm going to try that. I also kind of like the idea of a private group. Sometimes there is something I want to say, but I don't want to say it for the benefit of everybody who's browsing or googling my name.
