Your concerns about the DGs were passed on, so we ARE trying to help.

Of course, a "thank you" rates a little higher than a bust in the chops, maybe I'll just stay away since it seems you'd rather kick the cat than get help...

I got you an answer, WG, although it might not be the answer you were hoping for.

We haven't had Dialogue Groups since before the previous version of our community (e.g., the OLD old platform).  GROUPS (such as the Military Family Support Group) replaced DIALOG GROUPS over a year and a half ago.
 
Now GROUPS did indeed make it -- the Military Family Support Group being a good example.   Go to GROUPS to get a complete listing of all the groups, or you might try using the SEARCH function to locate a specific group.

BeliefnetCheryl gave me this scoop.  You should contact her about any further concerns you may have at community@beliefnetstaff.com.

Kinda helps to get to the start of the conversation.  I started by saying that GROUPS had transferred over and was brusquely told that it was DISCUSSION GROUP that were of concern.

Again, DG's haven't been around since the old-old platform.

So if the concern was on DISCUSSION GROUPS, those have been gone over almost two years now.

Yet someone still insisted it was DG's and not GROUPS that was the concern

Words have precise meanings, and if somebody is IN-PRECISE in their use, then we got confusion and it takes a page of posting before anybody figures out what's going on.

Of course if you're telepathic and can just pull from somebody's mind what they need, then mebbe we oughta switch places...

In any event, BNET's in direct contact with the person in question, and hopefully will get the info and help needed.

As far as forums updating, I've noticed it too.  Furthermore, it's been the subject on the moderator's forum, so I know for a fact that it's a problem the BNET Techies are aware of but have not yet gotten around to fixing.  When will they get around to it God only knows...

"We haven't had Dialogue Groups since before the previous version of our community (e.g., the OLD old platform).  GROUPS (such as the Military Family Support Group) replaced DIALOG GROUPS over a year and a half ago."

 

 

Oh I have been roundly chastised by TPTB for having used a term that included "dialogue" being appended to "group"--thereby confusing everyone who couldn't seem to figure out that "group" means "group."

 

Also have been chastised for not being able to find the groups on my own (when it seems that TPTB can't find them either), for being upset by only getting a cheerleading form letter instead of something addressing the specific problem after multiple requests for help, and chastised for making the problem public by posting it on USP "help" thread after being ignored by bnet for over three weeks.

 

I suppose one might consider me to be thoroughly "chastised" for having problems with the "new improved" bnet.

 

 Mea culpa--I guess.

WG, to test this.... post a note here when you adjust your privacy options, then I'll send you a PM....

Let me know if you receive the PM I sent.

You may find other options within Privacy Settings of interest as well.

Thanks,
