Enable users to create and maintain their own individual or group blogs from within your community, to share their ideas & thoughts.

Unfortunately they cannot create their own group blogs. The only way to do so seems to be from the Admin CP and even then I can't just let my users select their own writing team for their blog. It's really restrictive and requires me to manage too much and create a whole bunch of member groups that won't be used for anything else. This was a major selling point for Blogs for me so I'm pretty disappointed by this. This was worded in a way that made me think someone could create a blog and add their friends to it to also write =/

I agree! I think it would be awesome for the "Editors" option to come back as that was a very convenient thing to have in 3.x!

Hmm this was possible in 3.4, it must be possible somehow or what happens to these blogs when upgrading?

Allow member to assign editors to their blog(s)? This will allow others to post on their blog(s).

Seems to be missing.

Strangely, you can go to acp and change a member's blog to a group blog, but that's member groups. (Why would you want to do that? Change a member's personal blog to a blog for an entire member group and vice versa? I guess there's the rare situation.) Looks like editors are gone.

We have some cool things planned for this in the future. No, there's no ETA though.

Sounds good. Can you elaborate?

Weird, how did the spellcheck line save from Chrome for acp? 

There it is again. Bug in IPS?

Hover your mouse over it and wait a second. It's an acronym and should show an alt text box with the expanded phrase.

ACP is Admin Control Panel.

Thank you!

Will the older group blog setting (blog owners adding other authors) be in 4.1.9? I know this is being released with "new features" so just curious.
