How to change group icons in soup.io?
I'd like to change the icons for the groups I started. I've been searching a lot for how and where to do that but do not find anything helpful. Thanks for a hint.
I’m a bit unpatious as I find no way

Inappropriate?"Wie die Kuh vorm Tor stehen" - standing like the cow in front of the gate. It's an expression in German for stupidity combined with not knowing what to do next. I've been searching more and more how to change group-icons. I even tried on windows and in IE6 (just to explain my degree of desperation), but no way. How do I change group-icons? People did change them here for their groups, so it must be possible. Thanks a lot!
I’m ashamed

Inappropriate?It took a while until I found it:
you have to login as the group user, then you are able to change the avatar. I think that and the password are the only things you are not able to change as grou admin.

Inappropriate?Thanks worm23. Indeed, if I only try often enough it actually works. The fact that a group is alike a user and that you can even change between the two settings is amazing. I hadn't understood that, as my "privacy settings" first had no box for "make this user a group" until a few days ago I believe.
Also the German interface says Gruppen Besitzer = group owner (not user), that was another part of the problem, probably.
So for all:
You create a group as a user. Then you log out. Then you log back in but with the name and the password for the group you just created. Only then you can change the group avatar and the password. Your new group is like a new user with the "make this user a group" box in the privacy settings already activated.
To be able to log in as a group owner I have to unfollow and unfriend the group as user MattisManzel first. If I don't my login jumps back to user MattisManzel the moment I go on the group's soup page. Unfollowing and removing friendship for my groups mostly hangs on my FF3, so does refollowing them and recreating friendship - it's a little annoying. But trying often enough helps though.
Bravo soup! It's even more wiki-like than I first thought.
I’m happy

Inappropriate?I just don't get it! I've tried whatever these instructions seemingly tell me to do. At best and for whatever reasons on your end, you must understand from this end whatever it is exactly I'm supposed to do is not at all easy or remotely intuitive. I'm seemingly left with getting rid of the group and starting from scratch. Then I don't want to make my account the group and I'm scared I'll just start the process over again as far as the problem goes. Pretend I'm the idiot I am could you ask me what you need to know so I can get the 1,2,3 kind of instructions. It's a small thing literally but I hate us having the 'i don't care' kind of icon...no offense...you know what I mean. I'm very confused. I'll even settle for an explanation, if easier, on how to start over without problems if I just do away with the current group. Thanks.
I’m trying not to over react but I'm confused & lost
