I agree with mrsmoo, I will pray also for onfire247, and his family.
Dear Lord, we pray that You will comfort and instruct onfire247, in whatever he may need at this moment, and that in all ways he will walk fully with You. We trust You, Lord, because what You do is always for good, and You work all things for good. (Phil. 1:6, Rev. 8:3) Also, Proverbs 4:1-13 is on my mind.
I created a test group so I could answer this question: So, go to your group's page. Then choose one of the options on the right, "Edit this group" Then at the bottom of the next page after clicking, you see written "Invited users:" and to the right of that, a text box. Then type into the textbox the names of the users you want to invite. If you typed correctly, the system will find them. Then be sure to click "Save Group"
I read your comment again and now I think I understand better. I'm sorry that I misunderstood you.
But since I don't have any private groups or any groups, I don't know the answer. Maybe there is an option in your group that says "Edit group" or something like that.
Hopefully someone here who has more experience with groups will notice this.
I was simply trying to explain that invitations are only for private groups. If it's a public group there isn't any way to invite anyone, because anyone can join. I was trying to answer your question, "how do you invite people?"
DogLover, if it's a public group then there's no option to invite anyone, because anyone can join by clicking "Join Group". But if you create a group and make it a private group, then there's a way to send invitations to people. I hope that helps.
