Hey, Sol,
There doesn't seem to be a system for the listing of groups anymore, making it difficult to find a particular group. It appears completely random. At the least, perhaps you could list them in alphabetical order? Or have a sidebar where all the groups are listed (again, in alphabetical order), whereby you could click on a particular group and get taken to that group's particulars.
I was trying to do the same thing and ran into the same problem. I second the request. "Find a Group" is fine, but if you don't know the name, then what?

You have four pages of groups listed when you click on the "Groups" banner at the top of your home page. From the looks of the names I'm not sure how much good an alphabetical list would be if you didn't know exactly what you were looking for when you have names such as Texas Authors, Close Friends, Eternal Enemies, and Mama, Trains and Pickup Trucks to name just a few. Of course if you were already acquainted enough to know the exact name, there is a good chance you could be invited by a current member of such group. Scrolling through the list might also be educational as to other intriguing groups we may have never envisioned. But then I suppose you could scroll through an alphabetical listing also, but doesn't seem nearly as much fun as the random sampling. Just random group thoughts. Take care. Vern
Alphabetical or not, a single sidebar/page listing all the groups at once would help, rather than having to scroll through four pages.
You are probably entirely correct that it might help, but then I fully expect someone would be asking why we can't have more information about the groups listed (I'm assuming name only), which ironically is what the list does now. But to each their own. I'm not voting against it -- I probably would never even notice if it was implemented -- merely playing the devil's advocate wondering about the overall benefit as I'm prone to do; perhaps I'm the only one. Take care. Vern
If the groups were all listed in one place, then clicking on one would bring you to the group description that we have now. That's how I envision a more efficient system.
Okay, I envisioned that also, but then if you might be interested in more than one group you would have to click back to the list again and then click for that description and so on for any group you might wish to explore more than a name; or alternatively you would scroll through the list with the descriptions. Seems a bit like six in one and 6.999999999... in the other. Works for me. Take care. Vern
How about something like this: Have a list of all groups (single line for each) show up initially when you click on "Groups" from the home page. Then you click on any number of them you wish (or all) and get the full description of all those checked. You then have to scroll only through those you checked. Never give up. Take care. Vern
