I tried to create some groups, but I'm not sure how to manage them. Forgive me, Sarahsweets, if you tried to post in one of my groups. I suppose I could open it up to the public, but then I think the public (not just members) could view it, which I thought wouldn't be cool to others. So I left the group as members only, I think. I'm not sure what I did with that.

I don't know how to invite others to a group either.

I'm sorry if I created the confusion, Sarahsweets.

Last I remember you can go to "manage members" at the bottom of your group. There's a link for "pending and invited members".

As far as I know, a public group is visible to all members (not guests). But I haven't used it in years or created anything either. I do know one used to be able to create a private forum if the group was private, but since they changed the format to all groups being like a forum, that may not be possible now. Back then a group needed at least 20 or 25 members and in existence at least 3 months before you could click "create forum".

Public means anyone can join. Moderated means the owner of the group decided what members to have. If it's private I think you have to PM the owner of the group, then they send an invite, if they want to......But all this might have changed now.

Hope your groups work out SprinkL3.
