new fpgeeks Sailor group!

[SIR]

Some say Sailor make the best nibs...
others, that they make the best inks.

What is for sure is that Sailor have been producing writing instruments for over a hundred years, and have established more than a cult following amongst fountain pen lovers.

Come join the fun and share news, gossip, photos, thoughts, and your own Sailor made creations at fpgeek's Sailor of Japan club!

Good luck with the new group. I wish you great success

At the moment, only members of the group can see links or photos.
May want to relax that a bit.

What is a group and why does FPGeeks have groups?

What is a group and why does FPGeeks have groups?

I actually wondered the same things.

Specifically, how would one watch your group's posts or participate, etc? Does it work differently than the regular forum? And why choose to form a group rather than just make regular posts? Just curious -- I literally had no idea there were even groups.

Thanks Chrissy!

Noted, I will look in to that, thanks!

I just discovered them t'other day. I don't know why they exist (or don't exist, particularly if you can't see them ), but since I found a Montblanc group I decided there needed to be a Sailor group.

To be honest, it doesn't look like the other groups have had much involvement from their members since their inception, however, I will try to make things a bit different with the Sailor group.

My initial thoughts are that it makes sense as a central knowledge and resource hub, particularly with regular turnover and changes Sailor's boutique exclusive and even own range of inks have.

I agree.nI understand issue about access, but I've joined (& posted there) & think it's a good idea. Especially given that the Search facility on here is pretty poor. It will keep a lot of relevant info easily accessible in one place. Doesn't mitigate against posting, and linking to, info in regular threads & posts.

Will need regular promotion & management as the Groups facility on here is rather obscure!

Cheers Migo and welcome on board!

I think a lot more could be done with the groups, and think that some threads that already exist, for example the London Geeks Gathering, could be better served by a group.

Got it! What a nice idea, and I am happy to join.

So, I had no idea these existed, and maybe others don't either. To find these going forward, what I do is pull down the menu titled Community and click on Groups. Do I have that right?

-Laura

[SIR]

Yeah, you got it Laura - welcome aboard!

[Chrissy]

I would like to join too. How do I do that?

[SIR]

Click 'community' from the tab along the top of the page and then 'groups', find the group, and click 'join'!

[Crazyorange]

Can you join through tap Talk?

[SIR]

I have no idea, why not?

[Crazyorange]

Do you know how I can join through tap talk?

[SIR]

I don't...
Anyone?

[Crazyorange]

Maybe that part of the forum doesn't exist on tap talk. ....but I'm not tech savvy.

[SIR]

I have sent you an invite, so maybe you can find that and access through there?

[Terie_Benjamin]

Do you know how I can join through tap talk?

I can't find it
