Congrats on the DD!
I have a question. Is it only Super Groups that can change the class names (for example, check #dAmnU for name changes), or can basic groups do that, too?

wonderful
btw, is there a way to delete "private discussion forums" or "announcements" in the "Admin Area" ?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
There is not. You can hide them, and I'd like to add a section about that later, but there is currently a visibility bug that needs to be resolved before I can clearly explain the feature

i tried to hide them. they still showed up to other admins, but they couldnt write any comments in them. We will wait for the fix

where to find the bulletins and private forums options?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Those options are bundled with the Back Room visibility options. The options are pretty much per-tab, not per-widget. If you want more specific control over the Bulletins widget or Conversation widget, you will need to up grade your group to Super status to enable customizable "Exceptions" in the privileges which are not covered in this tutorial.

This is a rather dumb question but is it alright to join a group and not submit any art? xD

Hey parallellogic,
Thanks for the tutorial over groups! I figure this out after having my clubs converted over to groups, but it was hard keeping up with notes and questions from other group founders about how to work the settings so this tutorial is a great thing you've made! I'm going to added it to all favorite and share it with other group founders.
thanks again!

group avatars can be more than 15 kb btw
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The dialog box says the avatar is supposed to be 15kb, but there appears to be no limit; I'm presuming the site staff will eventually fix this discrepancy. But yes, for the time being, there is no file size limit.

I've never seen that button. Where is it supposed to be normally? Could it be hidden because of the layout I've chosen?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
If your group is already subscribed, the button will not appear until one month before your subscription runs out. Is tht the case for your group? Which group are you referring to?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's #elves It's subbed until March 15th. So, there is no way to extend it until 1 month before it expires?

Very nice... Still probably never going to click on the "group" button though, sorry.
