Default Social groups

Is there any interest in the forum social groups any more? I notice that there is a distinct lack of activity these days. Just a thought....

From forum FAQ :

Quote:
A social group is a group of people usually with a particular interest or something else in common. It provides a way of communicating between members as well as sharing photos or other images.
It looks like most just have photos albums but a couple have a lot of comments.

I have posted many images of items from my collection in the ‘social groups’ albums and own a couple.

https://www.britishbadgeforum.com/forums/group.php

They are a good way of collating images from various members in one place and therefore it is it easier to find a subject than searching through thousands of individual albums, many of which have no description to go with the pictures.

On my count there are 2,400+ Albums on the Forum containing 96,000+ pictures. Of these 7,000+ pictures have no description/caption other than IMG******* so will not show up in a search.

A good example of a ‘social group’ album is perhaps ‘Sealed Standard Pattern Cards’ which would otherwise be spread though individual members’ albums.

https://www.britishbadgeforum.com/fo....php?groupid=7

“Social Groups’ is perhaps a misnomer?

Group Albums might be better?

Nozzer,

Looks like you have a point! 185 views and only three comments to date?.

I don't know about the social groups, but to my eyes the forum is itself is much quieter than it used to be
