ik what group this was now but the process could be smoother is my point wahgiuwhg IM SORRY BRITThis has happened to me too many times to count! ;; I have no idea what that group was or could have been from the title alone- i can extrapolate that it was probably CW/art related because that's 99.9% of my ping groups, but that's about all i've got to go on.
Group names don't have to be unique, can be very long, totally arbitrary to the group purpose, and are typically only seen once or twice (usually just when joining the group). Pings however must be unique, short, and you see them every time that they're used, so they're very easy to associate with their purpose and person(s).
imo just the small addition:
A forum group you were a member of, The Big Ol Title Of (), has been deleted.
would be crazy useful, and hopefully simple to implement!
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ THIS would be nice, ya know... jic - plus it sucks that the "view all members" and the "leave group" buttons are so ridiculously close together, same goes for "edit" and "delete" - too close for comfort anyway - mistakes have happened and it's extremely annoying :x
Also, when we get ping notifications on our sidebar I click the ping group b-but WHY DOESN'T IT TAKE ME TO THE PING GROUP'S PAGE ??!! I definitely didn't want to end up at the forums main page, thx tho :/
And I don't know about you but I can't search groups like, at all.
This whole ping group thing needs general clean up and finishing touches, if it's gonna be such a huge part of the community :/
Totally support!

Wine is the answer
What was the question?
We absolutely need this, I've seen so many deleted ping groups the last couple months and had no idea what the hell they were!
Yes please. It'd be very helpful And do we have a page of groups we've made? Because I've never freakin found it and have to search the long way to see them :/ Cus "Your Groups" only shows the ones you've joined. I'd love one of the ones we've made...
