Hi all-
Private group postings should no longer be showing up on the front page.
I've also seen a few posts from folks who dislike having their public group posts show up on the home page. Frankly I'm not entirely sure why anyone would be against that, other than being against change because it's "different."
My thought is that:
1. If you post something in a public group, anyone can read it anyway. Presumably, you post things here because you want people to hear what you have to say. The fact that the post now shows up on the front page gives you a larger audience. If you REALLY want to have a private discussion, you can have it over site mail (or in a private group).
2. There have been several concerns about not knowing what's going on in other groups or not even knowing certain groups exist. The fact that you can now easily see activity in groups where you may not be a current member may cause you to want to join that group. This is good for the group and good for the member, and good for the Seniorocity community. Personally, I've seen a ton of interesting activity in groups that I previously knew nothing about.
Anyway, feel free to drop by the Advisory Group if you want to discuss this feature further...

Rob: I agree with you. I like seeing the latest posts on the front page. Some have peaked my interest to check out that group. It also made me aware that there is more activity on this site than I had thought.
Good idea!
Thanks so much Rob - I agree with you completely about the public groups and am grateful to you for closing the private groups to front page.
Hey Rob, I love coming here with my coffee and reading the Home page. To me it is like reading the paper. LOL Also I can read all the different groups. Then you can join or not. Rob keep on keeping on you guys are doing a great job!!!!! Thank you Kind Sir.
