Subscribe to Groups Group - Discussion A couple mini-bugs: Bad link in Discussion page. Wrong-size bio field in article submission page.

The bad link is at the bottom of the Discussion page. Both the "Next" link and the "2" for the second page of posts link to biznik.com/forums/groups-group-discussion/2 rather than to biznik.com/groups/groups-group/discussions/2. Interestingly, the top links do have the apparently correct URL, but rather than preserve the /discussions (without the /2) in the address bar and advancing the listing within the discussions page, it sends you to the actual URL (complete with /2) and throws an error page.

On the article submission page accessed by the Get Published link in my group (Best Practices for Event Hosting), I was given 350 characters for the author bio. I used the full 350, but found when the article was published that the bio was truncated to 250 characters. Clicking the edit button, I found I was only permitted 250 in the article page itself.

    A couple more.

    The discussions page/tab lists topics in order of creation, with the oldest first, rather than promoting the one with most recent activity to the top.

    As the admin of my group, I'm not getting any notices of new topics posted in discussions. Can't see any way to "follow" discussions as a whole. I'd like to be alerted.

    Thanks Joe. We're on it. We've got some bigger programatic issues preventing us from turning on notifications, which is why we left them out of the beta. But we'll be bringing them back as soon as we iron out the technical issues.
