    KIA,

    Any chance you could not force capitalise the names of Groups? In GMtoSEAWofHO the capitalisation is important to the acronym.

    I have a question.. not sure if i'm posting it in the right place...apologies if not!
    When i type geoexpat.com and click enter, the site doesnt show up...instead an "Index of" page appears..
    However when i type www. geoexpat. com it seems alright..
    I do remember that earlier just geoexpat.com did the job...

    Is this a problem with my comp?
    Cheers!

    KIA,

    Great job on the groups. I am excited to work with them more. I just turned on my forum option and it seems to have deleted previous messages. Can it be changed so former messages become part of the forum and then I could have edited them into a proper post.

    Thank you, and once again GREAT job!

    They're just hidden ... I can change the option, but I'd rather use that space to show group forum messages.

    KIA,

    I was thinking the messages would move themselves in to the created forum instead of staying that space. IS that possible?

    I'm now getting an "Invalid Title Specified" error when I try to edit the group description...
