"new" in My groups

I do not know if this has been brought up before. As I am freguently off-line for lengths of time, I am only slowly getting around to various corners of the new Weavo. 

But this is a problem I found: If I choose My Groups in the yellow box at the top, I get a neat list of them, some of them saying "NEW". The problem is, I can't click on new and get to them. Nothing happens. And trying to look for what is new in a group that has existed for a long time is sometimes like trying to find a needle in a haystack :-)

(may not answer you for a while if you respond to this, so just thought I'd lead your attention to this)

here's one conversation

Ellen, check here for the most recent conversation.  There hasn't been an update to this yet that I've seen.  I don't think groups works yet, I miss that function.  Deb Mc

Thanks Deb

I had a suspicion that this would have been mentioned before.

I suppose it will get solved eventually, than.

Where can you click on new

Hi Ellen,

I understand your confusion, it looks like the same red new we see in other places we can click on it.  I also share you desire to go quickly and easily to your Group comments so I have asked our developers the cost of adding the name of the Group to the Recent Activity or Dashboard page.  You may have noticed that at the top of the Dashboard page you can choose which posts you are seeing by placing a check mark in the box at the top of the page.  However, once you are taken to the Group post page, for instance, you can see all the new comments and go directly to them but it does not specify the group on the list view.

I'll keep you posted.

Claudia

question: does "new" in the

question: does "new" in the My Groups refer to a nerw thread only, or is there a "new" mark even for a new comment?  I have tried to test it myself, but obviously "I" don't get notified of a new comment, posted by myself...

(I sure miss the list of all threads, same as for the general forums - )

Well, Kerstin, we're working

Well, Kerstin, we're working on that, too but it may take a bit longer. 

The developers have also uncovered a problem with notification emails which should now be fixed.  You should receive email notifications, beginning tomorrow, when you check the "notify me..." box at the end of each forum and group post.

As for the "new" comments, the most reliable place to check is the Groups & Forums in the black menu bar. You can click on the red new and be taken directly to the new comment whether it's a group or a forum post.

In other words, the group function doesn't work!

I've found that the Groups and Forums place that Claudia mentions is the best place to go right now.  I miss the group only function also.
