I was wondering why there are more study groups than are listed under "Find More Subjects". For example, the LaTeX Practicing group that I found today that isn't listed.

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

LaTeX Practicing group is an unofficial group. unofficial groups cannot be found in the Find More Subjects since the ones in it are only official groups

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

does that help? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes. :) Is there a way to find these groups?

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

only way is to get a link or get tagged into it or you can search people's profiles for links on the groups they joined

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That seems to be a major barrier to entry. They should show up in a search surely?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't think that theyvshow up in the search.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I meant -- "Surely they aught to change that" :-)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol they do that because the "unofficial" groups typically aren't in high demand by other users and/or they aren't really "educational".

OpenStudy (anonymous):

True. Then why does it seem like so many people know a lot more of the groups than me XD Probably just not plugged in :)

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

links and networks my boy..they are well connected...some stalk other people's profiles and see the groups they have joined

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol @lgbasallote I usually get the links, but if I hear someone talking about their "secret group no one knows about" I'm like bwaha orly? xD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok. Thanks :)

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

no one really does...
