is Getting a Facelift

[Guest guest]

Big changes are coming to groups!

Here's a message posted to the Moderators Central Group yesterday. From

what I've heard from people whose Groups have already been switched

over, groups now looks and acts exactly like Facebook now. I guess

we'll all find out soon enough.

And this is just the beginning of additional enhancements to come. Initially

features such as Polls, Files and Links will remain the same, but we'll be

improving them too, and adding new things along the way. Think of

Groups

as your improved home, and discover the beauty of each room as we

renovate and

add in modern accents. Stay tuned to the blog for news on all the upcoming

changes. And please share your feedback on our Suggestion Board and the

blog. As

Group owners and moderators, your support is especially important to this

transition.

We hope you are as excited as we are about these upgrades that will

allow

Groups to continue to be the best place for your communities to live – and

thrive – online.
