I think its like a closed community. You can have threads that only invited people have access to. Thats how I understand the thing.

One use I thought of for user groups was to have three groups

Turkish Cypriot , Greek Cypriot and other

These could then be used to control seperate voting in polls for each group, should we wnat such polls. I believe I can control who has the ability to vote on a per section basis. So we could have a section for 'polls for Greek Cypriot only' where only the members of the group Greek Cypriot could vote (though anyone could create polls and posts etc).

I am not sure if this is a good idea or not? It would need three more forum sections (prob under a seperate areas like 'Polls by community group') and the list is already quite long imo.

So what do you think?

The idea was purely for 'practical' reasons alone. In the past on CF forums some people set up polls and asked only Greek Cypriot or Turkish Cypriot to vote. This never worked very well, as by mistake or intent Turkish Cypriot voted in polls designed for Greek Cypriot only and visa versa.

The idea of groups would allow some control over this. It was just an idea and clearly not a very popular one so I will not be implementing it.

The current 'concenus' is to leave the buttons as is. If you could post any futher replies about button color in the topic above that would be great. Cheers.
