I'm not sure that DocJohn would be able to make certain user groups visible/invisible at this point. Sorry

Okay....other people make suggestions and they get the "great idea". I put something and get naysayers, and not even straight from the horse's mouth!

SM & Sabby, I don't just have to "expressly click" to see the groups. If I want to see what new groups are created, I have to go the "social groups" link. This will show the groups. How else am I going to find out??? I don't see what the difference is between someone's suggestion about hiding FORUMS on the index, and my suggestion about hiding GROUPS. No, you don't see the posts...but you DO see the groups, and what they are about, just like you see the forums on the main index page.

It could just be something like "Show me groups created since my last log in" or "Show me groups created in the last 2 weeks" or stuff like that.

So, I can't "just go past them" or I'll miss newly created ones I may want to see.

"Up to the member to create the best experience and just not go there"....That's what I'm doing by posting my suggestions. It doesn't hurt to ask! If they cannot or will not do it, fine. I can't be the only person on this whole site who would enjoy that setting option in their profile!

Why couldn't whoever suggested hiding forums just "not go there" if they are triggering? Because they can't see the index without going there. People cannot see the groups without going there.

If it worked for forums, it might work for social groups. If not, I'm sure a reply will be posted from an administrator. Only they would know.
