    With my total groups in the 6000+ range you can see that it's a task which will suck hours out of my life and WHY just cause the Brains of EP decided to scrap that very necessary and important function.



    I feel we are in a kerfuffle here and it's all topsy turvy and EP is sorta lost, and fumbling actually.



    **Do the EP creators actually USE this site realistiacally, and can they say it is now a BETTER user interface?

    I challenge one person to say this with clear suppotvie statements not techno talk promises and hokum, and counter my agruments as to WHY It is better than what we had before!**



    When I first joined, proably now going on to 3 years..before the TWEAKS and 'improvements and it truly was AMAZING!

    ZERO complaints about the functionality , maybe some Q but i was super happy, as the Home Page was very very cearly laid out, user friendly and LOGICAL and extremely pleasing to look at. No longer...



    In Arsineh's words"

    We're currently working to add/revise our list of sorting options for groups as we revise this list the past options that would appears, such as a searching for groups you've created has been dropped. We will be many of the past sort options a long with a number of useful new ones shortly. "

    I frevrenty hope so, if not I think this intergrity and original purpose of this site is being diluted and diminished!!



    I stick around for my stories and my community.



    Thanks all for sharing your views and comments:)

    The groups we created is my main concern right now. About the feature being gone and the creator's name no longer showing on a group (have to go to the members page). You and I both are very concerned about these. I have started a spreadsheet of the groups I created, looking through all of my groups for them. Seeing how I'm doing about people joining my groups; was concerned that they aren't.

    @Dubonnet:

    Petty or not I echo your sentiment! :")

    I made a group yesterday.

    On the homapage of the group, sure enough my name was not present ! :(



    The only way I was able to see my designation as it's creator was when I went to 'change top members' , on that page next to the logo it did say 'founder:lunadelobos'.



    Well, I am a mamber of over 6000 groups so yeah to sift through them all, it's not something I am going to be doing any time soon O_o...:P



    Thank you for commenting :)

      I know.. I don't understand why these changes are happening because they are not making EP better, just more confusing. I like the system where we could sort our groups by past present and future and also see the groups we created as well as the groups our friends created. It isn't too much to ask. And if EP is working on it, then why has it been weeks and nothing has changed?

    Well if the creator of a group is not shown, then I guess I won't be creating any groups. It seems awfully petty of me to say that, but I liked that feature.

      It seems the only way to know for SURE at this juncture is if we actually commit the names of groups onto some medium so we can go back and find them.

      I'm the same way, Dubonnet. I have thought about not creating groups until the creator is shown again (in the visible location). I want people joining groups I created that they very likely know are created by me. It's like showing support for the creator.

    @MDenise:

    Exactly, how on earth does one 'figure it out' unless we are told by EP, which i wasn't, except here now by a fellow member.

    Or stumble into it..



    I expect and like clarity in this case:) Do I expect too much....? I did not think so

    @urUNIQUE:

    BINGO :)!!! I've been saying this to EP for years now it seems; whenever they would write to me and ask for suggestions on what my thoughts are re the new profile vs the old one. I clearly stated them my pors and cons and reasons which all seemed quite sensible.



    Let's see if they will give back the 'our group' and 'our story' designation at least. That would be awesome!



    If they will nullify those features for good, I will be quite dissapointed.

    Really let down actually! Really to the core.



    I mean isn't this the REASON We have this site to keep TIES with OUR groups?

    Of that is gone well, I don't know , if I had seen it coming I would have literally written down all of the groups which I have created, there are probably 100's.

    Thank you Arsineh for commenting!



    The group option is very important as it is a link to OUR creation our inception it's so crucial to what EP Is all about i think.



    I mean we are the creators of this community.

    LIke you the staff gave an empty land with so much potential to build;and you gave is GREAT tools really awesome stuff. We loved it , I loved it.



    Now for some reason some good ones really handy ones, have been taken away, and it's a dissapointment.



    I hope and pray that you will put back all the great fetures like the ones i brought up in my OP.



    Thanks very much for listening.

    I used to like that there was a button you could click under your experiences that listed all your created groups. I too would like to know who created which group. If the person deleted, then it should say that 'Deleted' created this group.



    I like to read all the stories people write in a group I've created. Its so much harder now to find those groups. In some cases I've even thanked members for joining my group on their profile. Its nice to meet like minded individuals.



    I also used to go to another person's profile & see which groups they've created. Some maybe I was already a member and didn't realize they were the creator. Some I'd join because they were the creator & it pertained to me.



    I miss this button. Unfortunately upgrades seem to always equate reduction in quality. :#(

      I've been wanting people to join my groups and concerned that no one's joining and was going to ask the community to go to the page of groups I created.

      You're welcome & Thank You lunadelobos. I know that would be great if they just put it back the way it was. My motto is don't fix what ain't broke. They did and it sucks!

      Yes for a long time I wanted that too MDenise. I tried to advertise those groups on my profile. I still have many where I'm the only member. ):~p

      It sounds like you have the same problem as me, 4vrUnique, about people joining our groups.

    I too have noticed that, and found that if you click on the members 'link' it'll state you as the creator.

      Oh. Maybe this is their new way of showing the creator. A lot of people might not figure this out; the other way was very visible.

      So basically let's say a group has over 100 people you will have to clik on each one just to learn who is the creator. Some groups have 1000s of members...O_o...oh dear :)

      Not really, just go to the left column link on the group's home page which say's, 'more' (members) and click on it. Still prefer if they had left it as it was or maybe even on the new header which would be even more visible. :)

      I agree; it should have been left as it was, for visibility, or placed where it's more visible than before.

    I agree that this is a bad change regarding the creator's name appearing by the group name on the page for the group. They're making too many negative changes to this site; I'm frustrated about this and other changes. I want to be recognized as the creator of groups, and for people to want to join groups I had created, and have been concerned that people aren't joining and was going to ask the people to check out these groups on my profile and join some of them. I've been very interested in the groups I created and waiting for the new experiences page that would have new options and the old options back.
