What is a social group?
A social group is a group of people usually with a particular interest or something else in common. It provides a way of communicating between members as well as sharing photos or other images.

You can get to the list through 'Group Memberships' section on your public profile (?).

The Social Groups list page displays all groups that have been created. You can list the groups by the number of members, messages or pictures, the group name, when the group was created or by the date of the most recent message posted. You can use the controls provided to search for a group.

How do I join a group?
To join a group, click the group title then click 'Join Group'. When you have joined a group, its name will be shown in your public profile. You must be a logged-in, registered member to join groups.

Can I create my own social group?

As a registered member, you can create your own social group. Go to the groups page and click 'Create A New Group'. Complete the title and description for your group then select the type. There are three types of groups:
  • Public - open to everyone. There is no restriction on who can join or who can post messages to it
  • Invite Only - require an invitation to be sent to join them. Invitations can only be sent by the group creator or forum moderators and administrators. Invitations are sent by clicking 'Pending & Invited Members' at the bottom of the page for that individual group
  • Moderated - open to everyone to join but messages need to be moderated before they will appear. They are moderated by the group creator and the site moderators and administrators

You would think that if you make a private social group, that only the members of the group could access it and see it. I just made a private invite only group and can still see it when im not logged into my account. Whats up with this? The point of private groups or THREADS is to discuss things you dont wants other people knowing about. Lets see if we can get this done please.
 
Sigh.
Sorry about that.
This module was already installed here on SnoWest, so I did not set this one up.

If you would be so kind
Please try it now and let me know if it's working properly for you.
 
I think I know what the problem is now.

TEAM TALK doesn't exist yet.

I think you set this up as a private- "by invitation" forum. That means you have to go out and RECRUIT members and reach the minimum membership numbers before the forum actually goes live.

If I recall, "10" is the magic number for a Social Group to go live.
