Wherever on TUS your group name is being viewed, If you have set a flag for it, Its flag will be shown next to it (Or instead of it).
The symbol image will be viewed under the members name list on your group general page.
Your fanfare will be played whenever someone views your groups general page. (You must have Apple Quicktime installed)
Here is where you can send invitation to people to join your group.
You can invite as many people as you want in one shot by separating them with coma (,)
There are 2 ways for adding people to the invite field:
1. There's an autocomplete running there so if you type the first characters of someone's username, It will show you the rest.
2. Under this field there's a link called "Find Members". Click on it, An small window will open helping you find the username. You can use * characters in this field to search for the members. For example:
J* => Will give you all the people who's username or email starts with J.
When the results are found, If you click on a username, That username will be added to the field automatically.
There's a default text as in "Invite message". If you click on the "Invite" button the invitation will be sent to all the people you had selected. If you don't want any message to be sent, Just delete the invitation message field contents.
When the invitation is sent, The system will give you the result for each player.
If the the player is already in a clan/community or has been already invited to a clan/community the system won't send them invitation until they quit/reject their group.
Otherwise the invitation is sent and you will see your invitation at the bottom of this part (Under the Invite button)

1. Incharge member
2. Normal member
