i mentioned earlier this week about the groups (and messaging) being added to the 3.0 site http://ww3.dreadlockssite.com
well the groups are going to be far beyond what we got now!
in 3.0 groups will be like a full website on thier own with unlimited forums (not just 1 category like now) unlimited photo galleries (we have none now) unlimited blogs (again none now) unlimited custom pages (we do have pages now but as a minor usualy overlooked and unused feature)
so whats this mean?
example
a photography group can:
use custom pages for beginner and advanced photography lessons
use forums for :
forum 1 photography tips and tricks (up to 20 categories)
foryum 2 locations and composition tips and tricks (20 categories landscape macro portitate etc)
use blogs:
your portfolio(again 20 categories still life portrait landscape etc)
(more suggestions?)
galleries:
landscapes (20 categories like cityscapes nature mouhtains beaches )
night and low light (20 categories
etc etc
you see how powerful the groups feature can be now
the groups and messaging (not yet chat) will be added in the next few weeks (by end of month for sure) we are 1 of the beta testers
so i want a group of ppl to create groups really explore the limits of what can be done and test the hell out of them
we will create a bug group to report bugs in but at least 10-15 or more fully fuctioning groups on many subjests
good news we will be able to move contrent from main forums to groups move content from group to group and even assign a member to a group in case u got to move thier content u can add them to the group its moved to
the concept of group owners gone too so if a member leaves the group doesnt go away too
but group creators still are group moderators
