    Hi Mark,

    Thanks for the response.

    When I posed the question I didn't know that Doug had a private feature that he could enable.

    I've published my e-mail address to encourage club membership, but I draw the line at publishing my cell phone number. You don't have any reservations about having your information available to the public?

    Regardless of how the organizers feel about their privacy, when trying to organize meetups, particularly at private residences, I'm sure that many of our club members would have problems publishing their address and contact information where anyone had access to it. The absence of this private feature would force our club to resort to multiple private e-mail communications. Having a private bulletin board should make things easier.

    Yes, I've actively participated on other forums, but this is certainly the best moderated. I greatly appreciate Doug's efforts.

    Larry

    Hi Doug,

    I setup a Florida Tesla Motors Club Group using the " Users must join to view the content" option along with the "Invite only" option. We verified that a TMC member that was not a member of the Group could not access the content. He received the message "this is a invite-only group".

    Now, my only problem is how do I go about inviting members? I haven't seen that feature anywhere.

    Thanks.

    Larry

    P.S. Sorry, I found it under what appeared to be greyed-out Admin tools.

    Having my cell phone listed has not ever been a problem and I think it's useful in attempting to rally the troops to connect in our regions. Maybe some day I'll get burned, but I've been impressed that telemarketers seem to be the only ones with little respect for privacy. and, I agree that Doug's efforts are amazing. I hope he has a life outside of TMC.
