Group Not Listed in Public Directory

 

For some reason our group - antique radios - is no longer listed under .io's Publicly Listed Groups. It appeared when the group was first created a couple of weeks ago but disappeared soon afterward. Messages are publicly visible and Admin Privacy Visibility is set to "Group listed in directory, publicly viewable messages."

Might there be another setting somewhere that I'm missing?

-Thanks

It's slightly difficult to comment in detail without knowing the name of your group; is it by any chance one of the groups on this list? If it isn't, then either (a) your group has indeed vanished from the public list, or (b) you need to sort out your listed keywords!

Ah; your group is publicly listed; it is this one, and is the second one in the search return that I linked in my previous post.

However, this has revealed another bit of weirdness in the way the A - Z list of groups is set out. By way of example the "A" list sets out all the groups with an upper case A first, and once it has exhausted those it starts again with a list starting with a lower case a. It is not truly alphabetical; this may be something for beta once the hue and cry has subsided.

Hi

If I were you, I would edit your home page.?

For example, you don¡¯t need this:
New members will be moderated initially but will receive full group status after their first post is approved.

That could be in your welcome letter. Plus the group settings show on your home page.?

Or this - you are interested in becoming a SCARS member, we invite you to apply for membership at our website listed in the Group Information listed below.

There is a join button below. ?
But do keep your group initials if that is well known.?

Also only part is carried over to the directory ?Put the most important first.?

Good luck in growing your group!

Chris,
?
I didn't realize that upper case listings have priority.?Thanks for answering my question :)?

[Mod Note: This is just an artifact of the sorting algorithm, capital letters come before lower-case in the ASCII digital representation.]
 

Frances,
?
The member moderation line was a carryover from Yahoo groups. You are right - removing it is a good idea.?The line about SCARS is there to promote membership in our radio club, not to join the forum. It can see how that may be confusing, though ...I'll work on it :)

Thanks,

They appear to be sorted in ASCII order.
