Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 557 Joined: 15 Feb 2009     | Yay. Cool. Must make a warhammer group. |
BANNED  Posts: 11268 Joined: 3 Jan 2009     | Sounds cool, going to the ZP group. The ability to create your own soon sounds great as well. User was banned for: Why do Many Girls take Pictures of Themselves?. (Permanent) |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2457 Joined: 21 Aug 2008    | Little problem with the groups. I join a group, then try to go to the chat, and it tells me I need to join the group. mind you these are ones like, anime fan and unforgotten realms fan, the open ones that just let you join, I even got the little message saying I joined after hitting the join group button, and it lists me as a member. anyone else have this problem or know whats going on? EDIT: don't know how but the problem fixed itself, ignore my complaint. |

Try closing your browser and coming back in and tell me if that fixes the problem. |

Creator of Apocalypse Lane  Posts: 1301 Joined: 28 Apr 2009    | Cool. Hopefully we'll get some cool people in the Apocalypse Lane Group. :) I see several more I may also have to become a part of. This looks sweet man. |
Master Archivist  Posts: 9707 Joined: 5 Mar 2009   | Alright, were breaking up into factions in preperation for the war that is coming... Or not. Great idea though i wish to become a group leader of some kind in the future. |
On the Record  Posts: 5845 Joined: 8 Jun 2009    | Like that idea, but will Mods step in if trolling occurs? It means that I can unleash all of my random, non-trolling posts to the world :D |

Depressingly, I would too :P |

Thanks but like the edit says, it magically fixed itself. |

Yes, the mods are still mods and if we feel people are not following the forum guidelines, the hammer will be used. |
On the Record  Posts: 5103 Joined: 20 Mar 2009   | Sweet. I'll need to join quite a few of these groups. |
On the Record Posts: 5845 Joined: 8 Jun 2009 | Wait, how do you chat? I can't seem to find an option to post D: Will we get badges? I love badges :D |
Brand Manager Posts: 2721 Joined: 8 Oct 2007 |
There should be a chat tab in each of the groups. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1209 Joined: 21 May 2008   | Very nice feature, loving it so far. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 1176 Joined: 8 Feb 2009 | I can't figure out how to Chat - I click the Chat tab, but there doesn't seem to be a way to actually add some chat... |
Brand Manager Posts: 2721 Joined: 8 Oct 2007 |
Make sure you are a member of the group first. If you already are...we'll look into it :) |
Web Developer Posts: 2775 Joined: 12 Nov 2002 |
A couple of things: 1) You must be a member of the group to chat in it |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 1176 Joined: 8 Feb 2009 |
Yep, the group knows I'm a member (it gives me the option to "leave", and it appears on my profile). I can see messages from others but can see no way to add my own. :( |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1703 Joined: 31 Mar 2008  | That is a nifty feature right there. Kudos! |
On the Record  Posts: 6532 Joined: 10 Mar 2008  | Neat. Will a message pop in our inbox if a new announcement is made in any of the groups we join? If not, I think that'd be a good idea, with the ability to toggle which groups you receive messages from. ON TO TECH TEAM GROUP! |
Web Developer Posts: 2775 Joined: 12 Nov 2002 |
Absolutely throw this idea in the Tech Team group. In fact, it was discussed as a feature to add to the groups system. Just didn't make the initial launch. |

Roger Wilco, suggestion implemented! |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 1176 Joined: 8 Feb 2009 | Any update on the chat feature being fixed for IE users? |

Unfortunately, I am stuck waiting for Kross to finish up some server maintenance before I can publish the code changes. Of course his reply when I told him I was throwing him under the bus for not having finished the server maintenance is to install Firefox :) |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2849 Joined: 8 Jul 2008  | Anyone here want to join an ocarina or plush toy group by any chance? ;P |
On the Record  Posts: 5293 Joined: 25 Feb 2008  | Factionalised Escapist here we come! This is quite a good idea, if the group system takes off what are the chances of inter group competition (gotta have them pitched battles)? Either through gaming tournaments like the TF2 one just past or through something else more Escapist centric. |

Escapist User Groups Now Live
Hello Escapist Community!
Today we are implementing user groups at The Escapist; a system which will allow community users to form social groups around a particular topic in a way that forums do not directly support. What are these items you ask? Well, let me tell you!
· In user groups, the administrators of the group are the moderators
· Administrators can accept or deny members, along with giving people the boot if needed
· User groups will further discussion on specific conversations without off-topic interruptions
· Role playing user groups will now have the "Dice" function attached, along with reverse order posting for smoother RPing
· Within the group, a membership tab will show who else belongs to the group
We suggest our community members join multiple groups and get to deep thought, intellectual discussion...or some great RP! Currently we have a preset list of user groups for all to enjoy and will be adding more groups over the next couple of days. Our goal is open group creation to all users in the near future after proper testing has been done. To see the list of current groups; please look HERE.
Best,
Spinwhiz
