Hello It is clear that new users and long-time users have very different requirements.
I think it's important for the long-time users of MLO to have a place where they can have in depth, carefully considered conversation, normally having read the relevant parts of the manual about the extremely complex system (or should I say 'platform'? ;^) ) that his MLO. And to be able to do so without distracting noise & chatter from new users. As a new user I would like a place where I can have a very different, much more informal sort of conversation. When I first moved to MLO I wanted to be able to spray out at least 1 at least one question every half hour of using the system. But I did not want to irritate the experts during the process. I do NOT expect to have all my questions answered. I want something more like a chat room or Twitter, where you tweet out to the universe and you may or may not get a direct message back, depending on whether or not anyone else is listening (i.e. following *and* reading). I also want to be able to retract or edit my questions if I discover answer to my question or have the misspelled something before anyone got to answer my question. Possible solutions: 1. Another Google Group. It's quite easy to start another Google Group called say "MyLifeOrganised.new.users" On the down side editing posts appears to be impossible (??) 2. Google+ Perhaps a more modern solution? (Although I have never used it seriously) 3. A Free Hosted Forum e.g. - https://www.proboards.com/free-forum-features - http://www.lefora.com/ - ?? Any thoughts/other suggestions? If nobody stops me in the first instance I will probably just start new Google Group as a experiment, but with the clear understanding that we decide to delete the whole group if unsuccessful and/or anyone has a better idea.
