I'm going to try to be say this as plain and simple as I can here:

1: In my group, I have widgets set in a sidebar, yet they aren't showing up? How do I make the sidebar show up?

2: How can I make an Official Chat Topic? Whenever I try to add a topic, it says "No names like that were found."

I feel like I'm missing something here, so it would be very much appreciated if someone (or more than one person) could explain to me both of those features. Thank you in advance :D

The side bars should show up.. But they don't when you're using your phone. When on a laptop and computer it should be there in whatever side you chose to put it on.

If you're trying to make a topic then press Visit Live Site, go to Forums, choose a forum, and make a topic. In order to have an Official Chat Topic you must put the name of a topic already made. It's pretty much the same as the Launch Chat button below.

I hope it's understandable. <g>

Sidebars do show up on the resized version of the site, but they are on the bottom of the group instead of on the right. :)

If you're still having trouble, can you link us to the group you're trying to edit and let us know what should be showing up, but isn't?

Thank you Ink for you help. It works now.

As for Sanne, I figured out what was wrong: The two things that were in the sidebar were not showing up on the normal page. This was because one: I didn't have an official chat topic. And two: The join button doesn't show up to members of the group, only non-members...

Thanks for the help! You two were very helpful! :D

Ah right -- the join button is only shown to people who AREN'T a member of your group. Being the founder, you are a member, which means you won't see it unless you log out. :)
