BP Update 6.5.1 - Group Forum Activity Fix

[Joshua Dorkin]

For the past months, activity in the BiggerPockets Groups mysteriously all but dried up, and we found the answer why earlier today. Apparently, there was a bug that was not allowing users to see the most recent activity on our groups, and almost all groups were showing the last activity as taking place around 3 years ago.

So, if you went to a group, it would look like it was dead, even if it wasn't. Of course, when we see that there isn't recent activity somewhere, we elect to not use that thing. Dead restaurants lead to dead restaurants. Dead groups lead to dead groups.

So . . . we fixed the problem.

Now, users from different groups should be able to see what's going on in those groups.

I'm embarrassed that it took this long to figure out, and hope that now we can get some of these groups back to life once again.

If you haven't already, check out BiggerPockets Groups and join those groups that most interest you.
