This thread will now serve as my usual spot for posting ideas to improve groups and will be bumped every time I edit a new idea into it or one of these updates makes it in.
(i know right i’m so glad too)
I colored the features that actually got done in green (and blue for the one that got done and revoked) to distinguish. I like keeping them in here because it feels like an accomplishment that it got done, even if it wasn’t necessarily just from my feature request.
I’ve edited the OP so that the formatting works with Discourse and basically now I’m bumping it to generate more attention to it.
Hard to believe that across all of my group threads there was a total of 79 “Thank yous” back on Kunena. That’s really encouraging because it means a lot of you guys care enough about groups to give your unspoken support to my ideas for updates.
I strongly encourage anyone who has any more suggestions to reply to this thread or to message me a link to any threads regarding groups which you have made. If I like your idea, I’ll gladly add it to the original post here. If I find something that I don’t think is realistic or will work, I’ll gladly discuss it further with you.
Wasn’t @Gusmanak assigned to this as part of his internship? What happened to it? Web features seem to take a ridiculously long time to consider/implement
He was tasked with designing some updates. I assume that those updates either got scrapped or they’re in the works. I did get to consult with him on it, however. He had some interesting ideas.
Hi there! Since Gus left, I’ll be taking on the group redesign project. I’ll definitely be taking his ideas into consideration, and I’ll be looking through ideas in this forum as well. The reason why it’s taking a while is because we have a roadmap of features to work on, and there are other projects that are higher priority from our perspective.
The groups redesign will also be a pretty large effort, since we’ll probably be rewriting everything from scratch, but that also means we’ll be able to start with a blank slate. We know that groups as they are right now need serious improvements, and they’re definitely on our plate. (Soon TM.)
@Caelestene Is there any news on the group overhaul’s progress?
Also, if you don’t mind, I also have suggestions here:
@Lilly_S could you add my topic into yours underneath the ‘The ability to ban users from groups’ header for some more oversight? Whether you simply paste the link or as quote doesn’t matter
