No Group Pinning? Added "RBW-Ephemera" Tag. "Subscribe" is a thing

[Cyclofiend Jim]

Hey there and best wishes for a Happy New Year.

Was enjoying the Rivendell catalog archive thread which Eric started and tried to pin the topic so it wouldn't get buried under a swath of FS posts. Suddenly realized that the new (well..."newer" as it's been in place for a while now) Google Groups interface seems to have removed my ability to pin posts to the top of the group. I've put in a mention of it through the "Report Bugs" tool, but that's likely gone the way of all things. 

It did encourage me to add a second LABEL to this group. In this case, "RBW-Emphemera". This is a quick tag to use to separate out all the printed material which GP and the gang have produced. If you are discussing catalogs, mailers, flyers, bicycle announcements, etc., please use the Label to make it easier to find. 

I've Labeled the recent "Completing the Rivendell catalog archive" thread, as well as the earlier Readers archive. 

I had scanned and accumulated a few things on the Cyclofiend.com RBW page -

I'm also adding "RBW-History" for the various model/year threads and discussions.

When I was poking at all the menus looking for the nonexistent PIN option, I did remind myself that there is now a "SUBSCRIBE" option for threads. It defaults to ON when you start a thread, but if there is a specific thread you want to follow, you can choose to do so through a quick mouse click (or finger tap).

Here's to great rides.

Thanks for the problem solving, Jim. I noticed the same thing yesterday when I wanted to dig into some Rivendell Readers and noticed that Reed's collection is no longer pinned at the top. Hopefully Google sorts this out, but if not, the tag is a reasonable workaround.

Just because I wasn't too clear in the first post above:

"RBW-History" is now a LABEL you can use when discussing company/bike/bike model history.
"RBW-Ephemera" is a LABEL you can use to tag threads discussing Readers, GP Books, Catalogs, Flyers and other printed RBW material.
"transactions-sell-buy-trade" us a LABEL you can use to highlight items you are selling/wtb'ing/trading
