    Considering getting this add-on instead of the crappy thing we've been stuck with since the developer of the groups add-on abandoned it: http://xenforo.com/community/resources/social-groups-by-waindigo.862/

    They have a demo site: http://social-groups-demo.dev.waindigo.com/

    What do you think?

    If it's actively developed then go for it. Do we need any new donations to buy it?

    It looks better than groups, and would work better than them. I'm only wondering if you can make them hidden to people not in the group as well.

    It looks all well and cool and sometimes I think the group thing, struggles in a sense.
    I agree with what Furai said, and ask his question again, do we need money to buy it?

    I remember Shad saying he had enough money to buy it.
    Although we might be considered commercial users....

    It's just quite fucking amazing how people that are logged on can't see posts of groups they're not in, but you can see all posts when you're logged off. NICE BUG
    Or am I doing something wrong?

    edit: I see some trolling coming with urls. When a group admin leaves it's impossible to get back in the group. And leaving a group is done by clicking a simple blablabla/join url. Make your rival clans click some funny picture with some shortened url guys :p


    btw, check this out

    Yeah there's enough donation money banked for it, don't need another drive.
    Though of course this is the kinda thing donation money is for, so please continue donating :)


    So you're saying we should get it then, right?

    I was pointing on some flaws. (not being able to make posts invisible for non-members and making urls that do things)
    It doesn't work with tokens.

    But was the plugin deleted from the xenforo webpage? I can't seem to access it.

    Would love this :D go for it. Also does it say in which the groups will be organised? Because that piece of junk ^^^ (the groups) replicate groups on multiple pages but they go to the Same destination, and it's categorized in alphabetical order leaving us later letter clans at the last page unless we do what KSB did and add a lot of A's before the name to put it on the first page.
    Which isn't the smartest thing :P

    And just a suggestion if it's possible: if it's possible to make a thread like general discussion, help etc.But with a link to the groups page? Because so many people don't notice it up there ^^

    Nah, it would just add to the length of time you are counted as an active donator (though you would actually have the banner forever).

    I've finally gotten around to the change-over. Hopefully this works out better. Let me know if there are any issues.

    If you have any content you want to salvage from the old groups system, you can get it from this clone of the forum from before the add-on changeover: https://forum-test.kag2d.com
