Guest Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 I have been wondering for a while. Why is the Usergroups section there? There is only one usergroup "tech_heads" and I couldn't find a way in which to start my own. So it seems pretty useless. Is there somthing I'm missing about it? Is there a way in which you can change it so we can make our own usergroups and make it a feature of the boards? :? For those who don't know what the "Usergroups" is, its in the links up the top, just above the "Logout button." ~~ Eelspremiers ~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dayking321 Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 Good point. You should be able to add your own atleast. Im guessin its a given with the fourm software. Currently going for 76 fishing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loge_05 Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 At one point the Tech Head position was open, but that was months back. I was actually thinking of making a topic like this as I always pondered why it was still there. Offline and unavailable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ks_Jeppe Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 The usergroups section serve a great purpose, trust me... The usergroups are a great way for the admins to control what people get access for, what their ranks should be, what avatar etc... So instead of going in and added a new crew member to ranks, board access, rankcolour, avatar and so on, they can simply add the person to the usergroup which has all of those things already added ;) So yes, the usergroups might seem a bit useless for the average user, but for the admins it's a very important feature...

Guest Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Oh I understand now. Thanks Ks! Is there anyway that we can start our own usergroups? Or is that just a private feature for the admins of the board? :? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albosky Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Unfortunately users cant start their own groups as there really wouldnt be any purpose to it , as you wont have access to the Administrator options to set up the groups permissions.

Anesthesia Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Tech_Heads just happens to be the only other one you can see, there are others can be seen in the section saying what groups you're a member of. Some people are changed by being a moderator. I wouldn't be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodAngel Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Yea some of the usergroups are hidden so people don't know they are there, and others a visible so at times people can ask to join them. -Bloodangel "Unfortunately, the real world isn't the same as a fairy tale."
