Sorry – not been in for a couple of days. Is this still an issue for people (it’s not for me, but I’m the admin…)? I’ll change group to public then back to private and see if that sorts it – let me know.

Sorry I went quiet – forgot I existed again. It happens.
Okay, I am going to set up the next class starting this coming Monday, so we have a few days to mentally prepare.

Thanks WB!

Thanks WB! And by the way the group has disappeared from view – I can only get into it by going to the Activity thread and clicking on something like this. Apparently I’m not the only one. Ath had a similar issue with a hidden private group and he says this:
“I searched through activity in my limited admin dashboard (top left where there’s a d…[Read more]

IGNORE ME! Sorry @woolleybeans, I thought you were the Admin because you were organising the classes – I forgot it was Raine, who has now sorted it. Soz x

Well, organising…kind of flaking out on. Whatevs.

Yep, it’s vanished again. When I list “My Groups” the caption says 1 to 10 of 10 groups, but it only actually lists 8, i.e. the DIY MA and my Testing Text groups are hidden from me too.
The workaround seems to be to for the group admin to unhide the group – change its setting to a private group.
-
Clicking on the link in the ‘replied to’ bit of the above does bring it back.
-
And there’s another slightly awkward feature of WordPress/BBPress/BuddyPress whichever. I posted as a reply to a topic but you were able to reply to my post when it was shown as “Activity” rather than in the context of the Topic. So your reply isn’t included in replies to the Topic.
Confused of Worthing.
-
But I’m now replying via the Topic. (Remember when they used to be chocolate bars, with nuts and caramel?)
-
And your post of 11.22 isn’t here either.
-
All good fun, isn’t it?
-
Allegedly …

And yes, you’re right. If you follow the link to the Topic then you’re taken back into the Group Forum. But this relies on having a post handy with a link in it. All it takes is for the group to go quiet for a few days and for the last thread to sink a bit down the Activities and it starts to get trickier.

I searched through activity in my limited admin dashboard (top left where there’s a dial thing) and found some test posts on my hidden forum. When I un-hid it (using “manage”) it popped back into existence and is listed under my groups. I’m just going to try hiding it again to see if it disappears for me as well.

Yes me too.

KazG replied to the topic Lost my group! in the forum Andrew Wille's DIY MA course 4 years, 3 months ago
Well, its HIDDEN private groups anyway, it seems.

KazG replied to the topic Lost my group! in the forum Andrew Wille's DIY MA course 4 years, 3 months ago
The Den is eating its private groups! I wonder why…
-
Athelstone replied to the topic Lost my group! in the forum Andrew Wille's DIY MA course 4 years, 3 months ago
Yep – me too.
Also, I had a private hidden group to mess about with text formatting that seems to have disappeared.

Hi fellow DIY-ers! I seem to have lost my group – it’s not showing up in my groups at all anymore. The only way I can get here is to look at my notifications and activity and get in that way. Is anyone else having this problem?

Oh, this packs a punch. The add-on sentences say so much, and the voice is great.

Wow, this is so rich @hilary. So much there, so many hints and glimpses and twinges of pain and longing and sadness. There’s a sort of yearning behind of these lines that breaks my heart a bit. Such powerful fragments.

Amazing piece, Raine. A wonderful example of writing a character through the eyes of another one. Very sad.

I wonder if he will end up getting away with the misbehaviour? Interesting piece.

Great contrast between the two letters, Bella. And yes – what is buried within – that’s the most interesting bit. Very clever.

An amazing piece of writing, Kaz. Very powerful. Strong imagery. Brilliant.

Oh, except the Dad drawing. That’s from a character in one of my stories.

I enjoyed doing this. I didn’t really think about the Burroway while I was writing – it was more a free-writing exercise. And it’s not in the voice of any character I’m already writing. Just came out of nowhere.

I don’t remember when my Dad stopped drawing. Or why.
I don’t remember my Mum ever being soft.
I don’t remember ever laughing while I was eating, or spluttering bits of cake. I saw other people do it though.
I don’t remember the taste of the wine. It didn’t really have a taste. But I remember it was too warm.

Liking this: All good characters are created round, but some are created rounder than others.

Hello @JaneShuff
VERY late to this, but I’m trying to do a bit of a catch up with class 2 before I get on to class 3. I LOVED meeting Dipsy in the initial passage and then reading your questionnaire about her. I agree about not needing to answer al the questions, but they are great prompts.
Anyway, thanks for posting. - Load More
