A Suggestion For ActiveRain....Add A Link To The Group

By
Industry Observer with No longer practicing real estate as of 2008.

I keep finding more groups to join and sometimes when I am posting something, I'm not quite sure which group to add my post too, because I can't remember all of the rules for every group.

My suggestion is, in the section where we select up to 5 groups to add our post too, can you add a link to the group that opens up in a new window?  This way we can pop into the group real quick to see if that particular post really belongs there or not. 

There are many groups that have specific rules as to what they want and don't want posted in their groups.  This may help with some people posting in the wrong groups and the group owner spending a lot of time deleting posts that don't belong.

Also, it could help us if the group owner was allowed to post their "posting guidelines" in a specific area designated for such with a link back to it that was easily seen from that groups main page.  We have a spot where we can post what the group is about, but can you also make a spot where we can post the guidelines as well?  Some of the group owners don't put their posting guidelines in the section for what that group is about.  Instead they write a separate post for them.  I think it would be much easier to find them this way, rather than trying to dig to find an old post about them that is buried.

I agree I try to remember and sometimes dont post to a group because I cant remember their rules and dont want to accidentally offend anyone. SO I second your blog.

Becky,  That's a good idea.  There are lots of competing groups now, perhaps combining would also be a good idea.

Gary, I can't remember where I made that from.  I thought I saved the link to the website, but now I can't find it.  It was a website that had a ton of different frames to choose from to frame your picture.  Was cool....I will have to see if I can find it again.
