• Café Life is the Colony's main hangout, watering hole and meeting point.

    This is a place where you'll meet and make writing friends, and indulge in stratospherically-elevated wit or barometrically low humour.

    Some Colonists pop in religiously every day before or after work. Others we see here less regularly, but all are equally welcome. Two important grounds rules…

    • Don't give offence
    • Don't take offence

    We now allow political discussion, but strongly suggest it takes place in the Steam Room, which is a private sub-forum within Café Life. It’s only accessible to Full Members.

After a little tech teething trouble, which I think has now been resolved, our Writing Groups are active and working. I’d like to know what you think of them so far, and whether you have any suggestions looking ahead.

One issue that’s emerged is that the creator of a group cannot remove it when it is no longer being used. I’m afraid that’s hard coded by design, and it means that to delete your group, you’ll have to ask a Mod to do it for you.

Any tweaks/suggestions welcome...
 
So far so good, mainly, Only criticism is that the procedure for setting up groups, threads, etc takes a bit of getting used to -- I found it confusing at first. But then I am not techie in any sense, unless the technology is a pencil.
 
Yes, it is... Hence the videos... What would you suggest to make it more comprehensible?
 
I have no sensible suggestions. Your videos are good -- they must be if I managed to follow them -- so I'd just stay with the status quo. Someone who knows about websites might have ideas for improving it, but that's just not me.
 
The only thing I found confusing is that there is a group forum and a group discussion. I'm not clear what the distinction is and how they should be used. At least I know they're there now!!

I've only critiques so far and haven't tried creating a group of my own - that'll be my next challenge. :-)

Had some darn brilliant feedback, by which I mean, incisive and intuitive. Nothing that has interfered, but that has clarified points for action.
