There’s no “Painters’” group here; the site seems quite dominated by photographers.
I’d like to start a Painters’ Group.
How would I go about doing that?

Good luck, I tried starting a group – my repeated emails about it to different RB folks returned only the sound of “crickets at dusk”. There are certainly enough groups now in any case, checking yours …

Now I’m having another problem, I’m trying to create a forum for the new group, and I find that I am unable to post in my own forum! Could someone please have a look at Remodernist Painters and tell me what I’m doing wrong?

OK, I thought I really knew what I was doing, but today RB has made these changes. Now, instead of having 2 rows of “Recent Work” on my overview page, I only have one.

Other groups have 3 rows of “Featured Work”. But I can’t figure out how to have my group’s overview page be like that.

Plus, is there a setting so that can be random, do I have to select “Featured Work” manually (assuming I can ever get the feature in the first place), or what?
