  Hi Melinda,

  Anyone who has been approved as a group member should be able to add different types of content (i.e. post a discussion, create a page, blog post etc), depending on what tools are available to the group - the tools that the group owner has chosen to use will be listed in the left-hand margin.

  So, you might want to check:

  • are you logged in? (Check the top right of your screen..)

  • has your request for membership been accepted by the group owner? (does it have 'Leave group' as an option on the left?)

  If the answer to both is 'yes', and you still can't add any content, get back to us.

  Hope this helps!

  Cheers

  Karen

  Hi Karen,

  I'm logged in and have been accepted by the group owner - still the same.  Thought I  might try leaving the group and rejoining...  unless you have any other ideas??

  Thanks,

  Melinda

  Hi Melinda,

  If you let us know the group in question, I can have a look at it for you. 

  Cheers Hayden

  I am pretty sure you have to be a moderator in a group to add new content or change content. Request this from the groups owner - they will have a Manage Group Moderators on their left hand menu.

  ...And the moderator can set write access on any area or article, remember.

  Yay! How did you fix it, Melinda?

  Always useful to know for others in the same boat:-)

  I emailed the group owner and told her about the group moderator suggestion.  Then volià it was fixed   I'm assuming that's how my problem was solved!!

   

  Thanks again to everyone for helping :)
