How do I use the club's discussions?

Discussions are the club’s messaging. To start one, open the Discussions tab, tap New discussion, choose whether it is visible to all members or to a few, give it a title, write your message and tap Publish.

The discussion list

The Discussions tab shows the discussions you take part in within your current club:

• pinned discussions are at the top, then the others by date of the latest message;
• a badge shows the number of new messages;
• each discussion shows All members or the number of members taking part;
• discussions with no message for more than 7 days are grouped under Old discussions.

Start a new discussion

1. In the Discussions tab, tap New discussion.
2. Under Settings:
   • leave Visible to all members switched on for a discussion open to the whole club;
   • or switch it off and choose the participants in Chat Members;
   • switch on Pin the discussion to keep it at the top of the list.
3. Enter the Title of the discussion.
4. Write your message under Content. If needed, add files or photos with Add attachment (4 images at most).
5. Tap Publish.

Participants receive a notification, depending on their settings.

Write privately to a member

In the Members section, tap a member to open their Profile, then the discussion icon at the top. If you already have a one-to-one discussion with them, it opens; otherwise a new private discussion is created. One-to-one discussions show the other person’s name and avatar in the list.

Send messages

In a discussion:

• type in the Message … field and tap the send button; if the field is empty, the button sends a thumbs-up;
• the paper clip lets you Select a file, Select a photo from your gallery, Take a new photo or Add a pool (see How do I create a poll in a discussion?);
• the heart under a message lets you like it; on your own messages, it shows the list of people who liked it;
• a message’s “…” menu offers Quote and, for your own messages, Delete;
• the new messages divider shows where to pick up reading, and the app shows when someone is typing.

Tap a photo to view it full screen and swipe through the message’s other images.

An event’s discussion

On an event page, the Discuss button opens the discussion dedicated to that event, created on the first tap and open to all club members. Members who refused the invitation are added without notifications. A banner at the top of the discussion recalls the event, with a link to its page.

Set a discussion’s notifications

Tap the discussion’s title (or the settings icon) to choose whether to receive a notification On the phone and By email for every new message, then tap Save. The Notifications button in the list sets the alerts for newly created discussions (see How do I manage my notifications?).

Edit or delete a discussion

The discussion’s creator and the chat managers can change its title, pinning, visibility and participants, or delete it. See How do I moderate the club’s discussions?.
