Information on groups and keeping in touch with what's happening in them.

According to the ning update:

"Members can now follow group discussions by receiving notifications of new threads. They are notified when they join a group that they will receive these email notifications automatically, but can turn these off very easily from the group’s homepage"

This is a useful tool as many people didn't realise that when they posted in groups the other members weren't automatically informed of their posting. If you recently joined a group, you should now have automatic notification.

If you are already a member of a group, you will find an icon on the group's main page under 'send a message' called 'Follow' which will allow you to receive notifications of new postings (and switch them off again).
