| How do I create a group?
Go to the groups section of the site by clicking on groups in the site menu. This will take you to the groups category page. Take a look at the different categories we have for groups first and decide what category your group best fits into. Then click on "create a group".
Give your group a name. Try to make the name so it has something to do with what your group is about.
Give your group a headline. This is similar to your profile page headline. It is a sentence that appears as the headline of your group.
Provide a contact email. Make sure the email address you provide is a working email. If your group gets busy this is the email your group members will use to contact you.
Choose your group category.
Members can invite: yes or no This decides if members of your group are allowed to invite non-members to join your group.
Open join: yes or no This decides if anyone can join your group or if the group is set as private. Open join means anyone can click the link "join this group" and become a member. If set to no, they will need to apply to join the group and you will receive an email with their request.
Public forum: yes or no This decides if your group forum is available for the public to view. Set to yes, anyone may view your group forum. Set to no, only group members will be able to view your group forum.
Hidden group: yes or no This decides if your group shows to non-members. If set to yes your group will not be visible and people will only be able to join if you invite them. They will not be able to find or view your group. If set to no, the group is visible to all.
Members can post images: yes or no This decides if you are allowing your group members to upload photos to the group gallery. If set to yes all members will be able to contribute photos to the group gallery. If set to no, only you will be able to upload photos to the group gallery.
Country: Choose the country your group is based in. Most times you choose the country you are from. In cases where you want to target a certain memberbase, you might choose a different country.
City: Type in the city of the group. Most times this is the city where you reside.
State and ZIP: Only for United States residents, choose your state and your Zip. Again this is usually your own state and zip
Group image: Here you can upload an image which will display as the default group image. At any time you can change the default image of your group by entering the gallery of photos you have uploaded and choosing "default"
