I don't remember changing any settings but somehow I can't see discussions for any of my course modules... I thought for sure it was right here. 🤔

@Alex Siegel @Nick Guadagnoli @Nick Hauser @Jesse Clark @Sam Ovens At the risk of being direct; this was a short term quick-fix to a non-problem that has created infinitely greater issues for almost all Skool users; as you can see above. Those who didn't wan't their Community wall littered with 'spam' [of which I have not a single experience in our community, and it sounds like I am not alone having read through this feed] had the option to turn their discussion, off. You have now removed what, in my opinion, was the most valuable aspect of this platform - engagement and interaction. Our clients are all asking us the same question.. "Hey, where did the discussion go? I loved doing the action tasks!" I was sold this platform and product with the promise that engagement and community was at the very heart of your ethos. Otherwise, I would have stayed with Facebook or invested in Kajabi. The two platforms you proudly proclaim to be a 'better alternative' than. You were a better alternative based largely on the feature you have, for reasons not understood by your users, now removed. You've removed what was your most powerful asset from all of us - based on feedback from those who were experiencing an INDIVIDUAL Problem... a problem that I honestly believe to be a non-issue. Surely that's why the 'discussion switch' existed in the first instance? So you've removed an enormously powerful tool, because SOME were failing to use their initiative and set theirs to 'off'? Please do not continue to kill your asset, and my communities engagement, based on the sunk cost of a poorly conceived and hastily made decision. I'll be enormously disappointed if we have to now relocate to Kajabi because we were sold false promises here...

Hi everyone, not sure where to ask this question. Are we able to approve posts/comments before we allow them onto the main discussion thread of our group? I see an option for 'Anyone can post and anyone can view' or 'Admins can post and anyone can view' but nothing else? Any workarounds? Thanks in advance.

There are so many unwanted, unrelated messages that need to be deleted, the skool inbox became very messy for most. How can we delete unrelated messages? @Sid Sahasrabuddhe @Sam Ovens

The files we can add as resources in the classroom are not opening. But it works on regular chrome

.... create Categories in School? sorry could not find it in help docs.....

Hi! If I want to build a free community but also offer a subscription program (with paid courses and coaching calls)... Can I accomplish all of that inside one single Skool group (versus having two separate ones)?

Hi Skoolers! Setting up my group and would love to maximize the membership questions feature (among many other things) and was curious to know what questions you guys ask your members. I figure it would be a bit different than the typical membership questions asked on FB, so curious to know what everybody's come up with!

Is there a wiki or documentation somewhere? Just looking for a general How To Section that I can search.

Hey Skool family! I just launched my group and I am starting to get members! However I noticed that there were several invites sent to people that I did not authorize and a few members have access that did not go through my sales funnel. Right now my courses are set to "Some Members Have Access" and they are given access through a Zapier connection. Do members have the ability to invite other members and give them access to my courses? If so, how do I turn that off to prevent members from inviting unauthorized users?

Many Skool users, myself included, have explained our reasoning and use cases for the "Discussions" feature that was suddenly removed. The reasons given by @Sam Ovens in this comment thread were: "We removed the module discussion feature for the following reasons: 1. People thought they were comments that showed beneath the module, but they were entire posts that showed in the main feed too (not intuitive). 2. Writing a title and selecting a category for a comment is strange. 3. People commenting things like "Nice job!" beneath a module clutters the main feed with out-of-context junky posts that lower the quality of the main community. 4. Courses can have custom access (only some members have access), and people expect those discussions/posts/comments not to be visible in the main feed." However, later in the comments it seems that this is the actual reason: "@Yasin Arshad the problem is new users expect it to do different things, they get confused, and request additional features that make it even more complicated. Plus, this feature is very complex on the code side. It causes endless issues that we have to support. Generally, from my experience, when a feature is this confusing/complicated it means there's something wrong with it." Why haven't we heard back about what is/isn't being done? This seems to show a continued lack of communication and respect for Skool users who have built their communities around this platform.

Hello guys ! Is there a way to prevent people from DMing a member to sell something in my free group ? ` I'm actually not selling anything there to keep it a safe space. But I can tell some members are by sharing contents saying they can meet outside the group IRL, others are trying to coach people in the comment section (I don't know them). I have the feeling that my group can go out of my hands soon enough. Do you guys worry about that ? Thanks !

Would love to hear what paid members really think. For comparison, Discord has 10x more features and thousands of apps built and being built by a community of developers. The majority of features being requested for Skool already exist on Discord. Which doesn't necessarily mean that Skool is not better than anything else out there, like Discord, and that's what I'm trying to understand. Moreover, as of February 2023, there are more than 150 million monthly active and 300 million registered Discord users. Discord users exchange around 4 billion messages daily, or 124 billion messages monthly. Discord is valued at $15 billion and has so far secured $995 million in 16 funding rounds. You may know it as a gamers tool, but it's features are being used to connect business focused communities, like: 1. Wallet-Friendly: One of the best things about Discord is that most features are free! With a free membership, your employees will have everything they need. And if you want some extra perks, Discord offers a premium tier called "Nitro" for $99 per year. It comes with HD video, larger servers, custom emojis, and a few other goodies. 2. Piece of Cake to Set Up: Discord is super easy to use. If you've ever used a chat app before, you'll get the hang of it in no time. Plus, it's quick to download and doesn't take up much space on your devices. No need for lengthy training sessions here! 3. Plays Well with Others: While Discord's native integrations are a bit limited, there's still room for creativity. They encourage developers to use their API for new collaborations. Zapier, for example, can help connect Discord with thousands of other apps, boosting its functionality. 4. Crystal Clear Audio: As you'd expect from a gamer-focused app, Discord's got the audio game down. It syncs clear audio between users, so you won't have to deal with annoying lags or delays during team meetings. 5. Handy Bots: Discord's gaming bots can actually be pretty useful for businesses too! They can help bridge the gap between Discord's features and your office needs. Trello, for instance, lets you manage your tasks and goals right from a Discord server. And as Discord gains popularity in work settings, we can expect even more business-oriented bots. 6. Room for Everyone: Discord servers can handle a ton of data, from video and audio chats to screen sharing. You can host live video chats with up to 25 people and still have plenty of room for text and messaging. Some popular servers even have tens of thousands of users! So just think of all the potential for hosting events or collaborating on a large scale.

I might be missing something, but I would like to schedule Skool calendar events that link to pre-recorded videos. Webinar style. Is anyone here doing this? What video platform allows scheduled releases?

Right now we're in the era of Skool's 'Discussion Dilemma'. The discussion feature has been removed it because it wasn't perfect - but A LOT of us used it/loved it. So what to do? Let's brainstorm solutions. Here's an idea that may work:

Guys, I need a bit of help. My B2B lead gen is OK for now. Thanks to YT paid ads + organic + posting on LinkedIn, my calendar is 80% booked until November. I'm focusing on B2C and have been trying a few community solutions, so back to the Skool platform. My question is how to combine free + paid members. For example, I have a mini course + mini workshop (£11 and £22) as a backend offer. The strategy is simple. They are buying the course or workshop, and I'm adding them to the Group. As a bonus, I'm also adding them to 2 courses. The process is slow but works fine, so potentially, I could add more people to the Group. I have 600 people that I could add, but they are not clients. I offer a free crash course for all members, so now the most critical question. What to do is not piss off my paying clients, as they paid £22 for a crash course, and I want to offer something for each group member. Why, I'm asking? Because I've been in the same situation. I paid for something £50, and a month later, the same course was free on a FB group.

Hey everybody! 🙂 I´ve just created rules for my community. (will start soon) After watching the Podcast #2 with Shana Lynn the second time, this is the first version of it. I appreciate your honest thoughts on this 🙏🏼 -------- 🔵 Trust and solidarity What connects each of us is the desire to become and remain symptom-free. The identity of each member is irrelevant; what is important is each individual's behavior towards a healthy community. Trustful interaction is essential, and we should encourage each other to share our thoughts openly and freely. This way, we can learn from each other, and everyone can develop according to their own ideas. No member of the community should feel judged for what they say. Everyone should feel free to express themselves. 🔵 Consideration and acceptance Every contribution within the PsoInFlow community has its reason for being. What may be evident to one member may be the missing piece of the puzzle for another. If you are knowledgeable about a particular topic, please proactively share your insights to provide the best possible help for other members. 🔵 Commitment and assertion If you have information on a topic relevant to psoriasis that can help members of the community, please do not hold back and share all your thoughts with us. Do not worry about perfection in your contributions; the essential thing is the content and benefit to the community. Openness to criticism and doubt Please share your thoughts honestly with everyone if you disagree with any of the content in the classroom or feel that something is missing. Dejan is interested in adapting the PsoInFlow classroom's content to the members' needs. The more questions are asked, the better solutions can be created. Problem-solving takes precedence, and it is okay to express criticism. 🔵 Focus on what can be changed Think about things that you can realistically change, and let this reflect in your contributions to the community. It is human to get upset about things, and it is healthy to allow yourself to feel negative emotions. Not every day is the same. Inspire community members with positive thoughts and approaches that lead to the best possible symptom-free outcome.

To scale a business, start a movement. What's at the core of a movement? A community. Therefore a community should be at the heart of a business.

I have reached the limit for DM'ing new members that join the community. Can you make special rules for admins to not have these limits?

@Sam Ovens hey dude I’m typing this on my iPad so it might read weird. Anyway, a couple years back you ran an ad and the image for it simply said “this is an ad.” It might’ve only just said the word ad. I can’t remember. I think it had a blue or purple background. I think the text was white. This has to have been maybe three or four years ago. I just remember thinking that it was really awesome. I don’t remember the body copy. Do you remember if it worked?

I took the war map calendar and made some few changes to make it more automatic Here is what I have done : ✅ Automatic Day Highlighter ✅ Automatic Month https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1nf_ilw-lUNGJRdjP-B7tQJ0VMYCiHBoWgTH9ti-NbO0/edit?usp=sharing

Were these removed? This feature was awesome for user feedback tied to content. Hoping some version of it comes back.

I like the default rules we're provided with, but what are some cool/fun ideas for rules in your group/community or that you've seen?

Is it possible to set up a video at the gate of a skool community? Something for invited people to watch before applying to enter the skool community? Thanks!

Hey Community. I need help starting a skool community I teach people how to become data anlayst. The thing is , people have DIFFERENT levels and learning curves. So they need to be able to buy and join a class and there are other people in their level. We will have live sessions for them to see different doubts with profesor and also do practical projects. You have to consider the following: - We have at least 2 hours a week or every two weeks of office hours, or doing projects. - But we have 3 different tools to teach. This is SQL, Python, Power bi so we need classes on all levels and TOOLS. - We need that anyone who buys can join classes depending on what level the are in. - Also we may do masterclasses, and other type of class. How would you structure it? Thanks!

Hi Skoolers I’d like your opinions/advice please. I want to set up a group which serves small businesses in the UK who want to scale. I wear 2 hats - lawyer and M and A consultant so this group will contain my ideal clients I will produce quality training content and offer free consultations and sell 1-2-1, group coaching and after a while courses. Do you think it best to charge a small minimum amount (say $50 or so equivalent), higher ir keep it free? Also, hiw do you charge if you do? Through a landing oage/sales page that points to the group? Or can Skool do this? Likewise free set uo. Do you think a lead magnet to capture or just point straight to the skool group (perhaps via a redirect URL£ and use skool for email capture/messaging? Any other tips welcome! Thanks in advance Simon.

Is there by chance a direct URL to the "Answer Questions" button? When I chat with people to remind them to answer the questions that would be handy to be able to just give them the link to that if so.

The niche you are using with Skool, Does it have to be something you are doing yourself? Ex. Sam ovens does courses and helps others do courses. Curious if this will have an effect on my success.

We are in the e-commerce business and our new brand is going to sell bamboo organizing products for the home and office We want to grow a group that relates to the brand There are so many angles we can take that reflect well on our potential customers it’s getting tough to pick What are your thoughts on an organizing task completion group Where we help hold each other accountable to our daily tasks It would involve goal setting and posting your 3-4 tasks list for each day and we create a point system and teams such that they compete for rewards Tc

Hi hope you're all well. I'm setting up some FB ads to drive people to my free Skool group funnel. Wondered if there's a way I can set up a custom conversion? Unable to verify the domain like it's currently asking as obviously I don't have access to add meta tags
