Thanks for sharing that. So I see that the "latest" word is the same word that's been circulating for months.

Okay. Got my answer.

I've edited the intro and added modules with no problem.  I haven't touched the featured lenses though.

It is frustrating.  I'm getting 70 visits a day on one of my groups - I could do so much more if I could redesign it a bit and promote it!

No, not brave enough. Actually it's more of a patience thing. It really frustrates me when things go haywire on lenses/groups.
Why cause myself unneeded frustration? Just avoid it altogether.
I'm really tempted to delete my groups.

I have found that I can add lenses to my featured lenses if I write down the lenses that are already there and re-enter them before saving. If I forget to do that I open up a new webpage and load the Group page in the view mode so that I can remember the lenses that were in that module.

I wish there was some official word about groups.

I'm not brave enough to edit my group either. I think the existing tools were time consuming and clunky compared to the rest of Squidoo and the idea of having to re-enter existing lenses each time is just too much.

If HQ could just say "we aren't doing anything with groups for at least 3 or 6 or 9 months or whatever", then at least we'd know where we stand. It's the continued silence that is frustrating and disheartening.

BINGO!

I was hoping Kimberly's Morning Coffee would be where we'd hear updates on these types of important things. (Disappointment)

Since they have fixed some of the glitches, it does not appear that groups - even the existing groups - are totally abandoned. Since I've built links to them and some of my groups are even appearing in search results, I'd be VERY disappointed if the end result is that they're deleted. I'm just sticking to not editing them and waiting this out. There's enough to do, so I'm not even very frustrated at this limbo.

Thank you Gil!

Yes! I am too. I've been dying to make a group or two on areas not actually covered by current groups!

>> We'll have an update for you this week. <<

Yay! So glad to hear it! I have such a backlog of people waiting to be admitted to several groups - it will take me a week of doing nothing else just to look at them all!

Oh thank you Gil!

I feel like the woman in that old Mervyn's commercial, tapping my fingers on the glass and saying, "Open, open, open," except that I'm tapping on my monitor, saying to Gil, "Post it, post it, post it." 

Thank you Gil!  My poor group is very lonely.  I haven't visited it for quite some time.
