Mike, nice work on 6.10.  One thing that caused some confusion on my part while I was posting and reading some things this am was understanding what group I was in and where the linked conv was?

 

That might already be there, but it's not readily apparent to me other than maybe looking at the TAGs and that is not always a good way.

    Thanks Cyd! The apps team always appreciates kudos - these guys have been working hard.

    As for your question, you're right - currently, the best way to decipher your location is to look at the tags. You can tell if a conversation is part of a group as the tag will have the 'group' icon on the parent conversation, as opposed to a regular tag which will just display the name of the tag. The 'lock' icon indicates that the conversation is secured somehow, either within a private interest group, or some other 'secure' tag (such as nGeneraLock).

    However, as you point out, this is less than ideal. We've logged a bug in our tracking system to address this specifically with conversations that are part of a group. If you have any thoughts on how to better visually signify the link between a conversation and an Interest Group to which it is linked, we'd love to hear it.

      I think it would make more sense to have the group designation in the area that has the title, the original post, the reply and date/time, etc.  That will give me the full context of where I am, what I am responding to and what group it belongs to.
