The problem is that if a few topics generate lots of groups you have to wade through them while browsing. Excluding chosen topics from your browsing list would solve that By letting me browse lists wi

I belong to other groups I like to spend time reading and responding to. I only have so much time and this was just a routine feature request. You've missed the point I already mentioned. That would n

I suppose it boils down to if you are the kind of person who likes to browse the shelves in a library rather than just ask for a specific book. I've been doing that since I was ten years old so I do l

Ronaldo, I'm not ignoring you. I answered you in lots of little replies. I didn't realise that's bad form here so they got deleted. I'm still working out the small differences in function here but I t

Thank you Judy. Turns out it is a problem so I'll guide the owner to fix it.

If groups used them consistently, didn't abuse them and I could use Boolean operators then maybe. As Ronaldo pointed out tag and keyword abuse is an old game. Harder to moderate than a choose a single

Yes, I understand how a multi keyword search works. It's a standard function of all search engines. Trust me, you may not but, I do need a way to exclude terms and that's Boolean operators. They were

Well the system I propose does. With our intelligence not AI. It's just a matter of being able to sort the list better so you have smaller chunks to wade through. That's the entire point of the propos

If that's true Bob it would be easy enough to have an anon cat which can't be searched or viewed by any means. Currently that would be an invite only group and you can still find them at the moment bu

Drew It's not either or. You can do both. They're not exactly official cats. They reflect what's actually there in the 7000 groups I looked through. To you the exact kind of radio group you are is imp

Thank you again for your help Duane. I see now the drop menu is just for topics. What you tell me seems to support my own observations and experience that tags may have their place but finding groups

I suppose what I'm suggesting is that a system based on the actual groups demographic will always work better than any theoretical academic construct or a personal preference/attraction or emotional d

Thanks, that might solve the problem with the group I'm still worried about. I've posted it to the group, hopefully just under the last post wire. Night night. Ant👣

Hello Ronaldo I'm actually trying to get away to my new groups but have to ask; how would the tag system have helped me find the group I mentioned? Given I didn't even know it existed and would not be

Hello Duane I passed your wisdom on to the upset member. Hopefully he will be reassured. I suggested he check if he can see everyone else's full email to determine the current setting. If he can I'll

Hello again Duane I read those two links but not the even older links the first one referenced. As I understand it there are three main opinions. A massively detailed hierarchy such as the dewy decima
