Mass-PM Social Group Members

A long-reqested feature, social group owners can now mass-PM all members of their social group by using the new link provided at the bottom of the group index page. This will prove useful for organizing get-togethers or events.

Note that this feature will not be usable for groups containing more than 75 members.

Enjoy!

Adam, I just tried to send a Mass PM to my National Capitol Area Pentaxians group and got an error message...

The script is coded to only allow group creators to mass-PM their members. Are you the original owner of that group?

I'll let you know if there are any permissions errors in the script; however, as the coding is rather simple, I doubt this.

Thanks for looking into this

This would be a fantastic function to make local community work!

Yep... I created it and it says it is managed by me.... No special message at this time. I was just going to send a hello to the group.
