I understand that but what I am asking is, I have about 20 groups already created by members who were excited by this SG feature, what will happen to those groups if I install SG Forums? Will they become a part of SG forums? Or will the only be in SG Discussions. If they stay as Sg discussions can I as an admin move them to Social Group forums? I do not want to have two totally separate system because they are not integrated. I need all groups to be on one or the other group system. Thanks for your help!

What happens is that the SG leaders will be given a link at the bottom of their SG allowinf them to create a forum, when they click that the forum will be created and they will have their own forums. The current discussions are not converted to the forums but they will still be in the SG. It's just an addon and doesn't effect anything else.

Thanks for the good explainaion! So if I disable SDdiscussion will I lose those social groups that were created through SG discussion? I would like to just have to SGforums so there is not counfusion about which to choose between creating a Forum or a discussion but I do not want to lose those groups. Thanks again for the help

I should add that I do not mind if I lose the discussion already created as there were not that many but I do not want to lose the groups that were created

You won't lose any Social Groups whatsoever otherwise the plugin won't work. :p

Makes me want to scream. There's groups that can have a leader that moderates joins and then there's social groups that have a leader that can moderate who joins. But the two are completely unrelated in the jelsoft thinking. One has functions like is_member_of the other doesn't.

We can only hope the we get social forums by vb4.0 and that all our boarded aren't f*cked in transition.

How can we turn off social group discussions?

In the plugin options, there's an option to turn SG Discussions on or off. If you lot are trying it out on 3.8 then don't bother as it's not working yet.

Is there a forum online that has this enabled? I'd love to see it. Thanks!

I have a board I am intentionally NOT upgrading to 3.8 yet because of the popularity and useage of the Social Forums feature - my question is, if a converter or upgrade is never developed, and I do finally have to upgrade, is there a way to keep the forums people have created? Like will they still be there, just the access masks will have to be adjusted? Several of the forums have lots of posts, polls, attachements, etc, and I don't want the people to lose access to them once I have to upgrade eventually..

I have a problem with this addon: The original founder of a group is not active anymore. Another user took over the group now using the new function to switch the owner in 3.8 RC. Now the new group leader wants to create a group forum. But he does not see the link to create the forum.

The new leaders user group has the right to create group forums. And the group has the minimum amount of group members. Did I forget to check anything else? Or is it a bug in the addon in combination with vb 3.8?

Thanks for any help!

So has anyone upgraded yet, and if you did, what happened to the social forums your group created? Are they still there, just not connected to the groups anymore? Other than not being able to access them directly from the groups anymore, did any damage occur to the actual social forum?
