We have a local group that started from members of camaro5. First...we love camaro5!

However, to help us stay organized and discuss things amongst ourselves about local events, we first used a single thread in the regional forums. This became quite a chore because we kept changing topics, and having to search through the thread looking for different information. It was easy to miss something. With about 50 members, one thread is not enough.

We then created a social group. It made it nice, because we could start a new thread and stay on topic. However, social groups are missing A LOT of funcionality that the forums have. Here are two BIG things that we miss:
1) No instant notifications of messages.
2) No advanced editor for messages.

Our group (and I assume many other groups as well) has a real problem trying to stay organized. These are the options that I see (in the order that we prefer):

1) Modify Social Groups to work just like forums (instant notifications, advanced editor)
2) Create sub forums under the regional sub-forums for each group that requests one.
3) We actually come up with our own solution outside of camaro5. (This is our least favorite choice!!!)

So site moderators...please help us or at least discuss our options here.
