Question Concerning Groups

Design and Skin Customization

I think how I did that 'way back when' was by modifying/hiding the "+" button for Groups, for all but Master Admin. Have you fooled with the button modifier next to your "+" button when in your Groups profile tab?

Is there a way to reorder GROUPS

Design and Skin Customization

You'd be looking in your template for where they are currently ordered by, and making sure it was by their Group ID number, like:

FWIW, I am not experiencing this problem, just checked it in the sequence you described.

Micheal- brilliant find!
So I looked at the default Ninja skin (the 'parent' of my two JR sites are custom skins)... and Ninja DOES have that setting in the notification options. Also, my other JR site Pennywhistleclub.com DOES have the setting in my custom skin there (which was cloned from my FOTMD.com custom skin about a year ago).
So sometime in the past year, for some reason, that setting went missing -but only on my FOTMD.com site's custom skin. I would not have 'intentionally' removed it, but maybe something else that was done had that as an unintentional consequence.
I'm hoping you can figure out the issue/mystery when you have the time.
Thank you so much! Your help is so much appreciated.

Michael, I just tested it again and it's not working for me when I'm logged in as regular member The Member (pw xxxxxxxx)
I just posted in both theose forum threads you created, and it did not result in my 'following' either discussion.
I also tested the same thing as The Member yesterday in a GROUP discussion, with the SAME results, here:
https://fotmd.com/strumelia/group_discuss/2142/where-to-start#cm145353

The question seems to be- why are you and I getting different results?

Can you maybe do the same test I just did, while logged on as The Member? (btw I have all notifications for The Member turned ON).

I'll have to test again, Michael.
I know when one creates a discussion, one is automatically subscribed to it, and that's fine.
But the other day i logged in as a regular member and made a post to a discussion created by someone else, and the yellow Follow button did NOT get activated, even after refreshing cache and refreshing browser. Let me experiment a little more here, with group discussions as well, and I;ll get back here again. Thanks!

auto-follow a discussion when you've posted to it

I just now realized that my sites are set differently for Admins than for regular members in this way-
when a regular member makes a post to either a jrForum forum discussion OR a Group discussion... they are NOT automatically set to be 'following' that discussion. I thought they WERE, because as Admin it works for me to be set to Follow any discussion when i make a post in it. My site was set up several years ago and i can't remember the area that controls this, even after looking around in modules and templates.
I know this is in effect here on the JR support forum, and I've come to appreciate it from a 'regular member' user's standpoint. I need to make it work for both jrForum discussions and for Group discussions.

Where/how do i apply the same 'auto-follow discussion upon posting' setting for my regular members, that i currently have set for Admin? Not sure where to find that. Thanks!

JR sites going down...

Using Jamroom

Do you keep a lot of sites on that server, both JR and non-JR sites?

Followers sometimes get doubled listing in 'my followers' list

Using Jamroom

I'm revisiting this thread because I've noticed that although the above fix works nicely to eliminate the 'twin' followers from appearing on the member's https://fotmd.com/strumelia/follow page, the doubled followers still appear on the member's main profile Sidebar widget- see this screenshot.
I probably just didn't notice this in the sidebar after the above fix successfully fixed the issue on the main Follow page for the larger follower avatars.
I'm guessing I'm going to need to apply the same 'type' of code fix in my custom skin's the profile sidebar, or index template? OR maybe somewhere else.. somehow pointing to the profile Sidebar? Not sure.
