I have no problem with groups-as long as they are open & available for ALL MEMBERS. I can't think of any reason for anything to be "private" on this forum except for personal messages. Leave the private crap to Fakebook.
It should not be necessary to "join" a group to read or comment.

Now all we can do is ignore all the bells and whistles and obstacles like its a video game.
How redundant to have separate marque categories, and then over-lapping generic categories like 'Engine Transmission Rebuilding'?
It is not our administrators' fault that vBulletin sux; At least the search function is now almost useable, but that alone won't keep new viewers from moving on.

I think most of the knowledge that people look for on here is stored in old heads and most if not all of those old heads struggle with computors, I know I do, so if you want those old heads to participate here you need to keep things simple, easy to use and logical in operation.
Because of the trouble I have with text getting split up when I load pictures I'm very close to joining those who are considering leaving.
I've never used that group section and never will so I haven't had the problems other users are having but if those sort of problems get over onto the forum you'll lose me very quickly.
My 2 cents worth anyhow.

I think they are hearing from some AMCA members with some compelling arguments, not to change but to expand interest. I would encourage our esteemed Forum members to stick with it and see what happens. Throwing spaghetti agains the wall to see if it sticks is the way of seeking improvements. Hang in there.

Im not sure how restricting access will accomplish this but perhaps explaining proposed changes to current participants and seeking feedback beforehand might be better recieved,but may maybe Im missing or did miss something.
Throwing spaggetti may be one way of seeking improvements but I dont think its THE way.
I also have no idea what appropriate line up of forums to make sense means.

What's the big problem? If you don't like the group section don't click on the tab. Just because someone else like beets doesn't mean you have to eat them too. Or am I missing something here?

Please understand, the Groups tab has been an element of the AMCA forums for many years. This is a basic page of vBulletin. Until now, it's never been used by our members. We simply decided to take advantage of it to use as a communication tool for a new project we are about to launch to help AMCA Chapters grow and communicate. This in no way changes or affects the Forums tab or its content. Thanks for being a loyal AMCA Forum participant.

Learning about antique motorcycles and working on them sharing tech tips the stories and the photos I like these.
Visited the AMCA Fb site and it is good LOTS of pictures but IMO lacking the tech/maintainence/repair of this forum
Oh Wow just found the "Indian Group" 4 souls.
