Set is so that it displays Detail View, Latest Activity and at least 10 or 20 items.

This makes it so that someone scanning the group page will have their attention cought by a post and be more likely to contribute. By having to click the "View All Discussions" link, the less likely they will do it.; ▶ Reply to This

Thank you for the Tip. I created the SciFi Channel Group and I am an Admin in the SNL Group. I made changes to both of these as you suggested.; ▶ Reply to This

Permalink Reply by JT on November 9, 2008 at 2:19pm: It was suggested, both in the text and video that Chris made as well as in an Email that I received last week that we take away the ability for Group Members to be able to send Messages to the entire Group.

Is there a way to make this a Default for anyone that creates a new group? I have become leery of joining any newly made Group because I do not wish to receive Spam and new Group creators don't always read or view Chris' suggestions/instructions. They just create the Group and go on their merry way.; ▶ Reply to This
