Dear members, efi in New Google Forum avatar has greatly enhanced our capabilities. Efi website is greatly benefited due to copy & pasting in exactly the same format compared to old groups which showed (and copied) messages in e-group in a hotch-potch way compared to those seen in the mails.
One feature I tried was applying filter 'Topics I started' (Under 'Filters') at home page at efi e-forum ( https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en&fromgroups#!forum/indiantreepix) & it quickly filtered & showed only such messages. I think it's a great feature for a lot of members & there are so many other possibilities of applying other such filters. I have been using another feature of putting some messages at the top (under 'Actions') to great effect. Other members may highlight similar such features which may be of great help to the members as well as to the moderators. Kudos to google to adding new & new features & making it much more useful in the Forum format compared to earlier old groups format. -- With regards, J.M.Garg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Jmgarg1 'Creating awareness of Indian Flora & Fauna' The whole world uses my Image Resource of more than a *thousand species* & eight thousand images of Birds, Butterflies, Plants etc. (arranged alphabetically & place-wise): http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:J.M.Garg.
