Groups Improvements

Hey there! I just wanted to let you know about a few tweaks I made to the groups functionality.

You can now check out the Group Calendar history by clicking on "See group history..." at the top of the Group Calendar. It sorts by date descending too, so you should see all the most recent events at the top. All the group event calendars are paginated now instead of just opting between 20 events, and all events. I hope that makes it easier to use, and faster to load too.

I've also changed the icon we use to allow you to remove events you've posted to a group, and if you're a moderator, you'll be able to see these by every event posted, and also every discussion topic and discussion reply. Avatars are now present in group discussions, and it livens things up a bit. We also took the community's advice, and are now preventing anyone not a member of a group from posting new discussion topics. That should cut down on the random postings a bit.

Some people expressed confusion at how deleting groups works. When the last member leaves a group, we take that to mean that nobody's interested in it anymore, so we delete the group and all of its metadata. Thus, I changed the wording a bit to make this clearer.

We've heard from a lot of you on the suggestion board that you'd like to see more information about groups on the homepage, and we're listening, and will try to get to that very soon.

Enjoy!
