The Commons Room on Humanities Commons 7 years, 10 months agoHi, it would be great if we could view more than 20 HC groups on one page as it can take a long time to scroll through the full list.

There’s a filter already for “My Groups” (of which you’re a member) and “All Groups.” Would you want to see a different option there?
