*Just use this link:* https://discord.gg/papxh4W

In addition to the blogs previously set up, the G+ User2User-LIVE! Community now has a second home. Michael Daniels and I have, with the help of a few others, been testing Discord. What we have found is a platform that offers much of what we wanted in the original G+ communities. Some of the advantages of Discord are:

1. Customization of Roles
2. Pinning multiple messages (posts)
3. Multiple text and voice channels

If you aren't familiar with Discord, this short video will help you get started:

Tony, I'm totally stumped.

Tony, I'm totally stumped.

I wonder if the Internet Archives or Wayback Machine would be of any help?

Andrew Hatchett Heh Andy, I tried to restore an 8 MB Blogger backup today, just to confirm what Blogger would do with any embedded Google+ comments. It failed miserably: My "I'm not a robot" CAPTCHA prompt kept expiring every 90 sec. This happened in both Chrome and Forefox. I was also presented with a photo-selection verification a couple of times, but it made no difference. Have you heard of that before?

Another casualty. Just got this in email to the admin address of one of my G Suite domains:

Google logo
Hello Administrator,

We are reaching out to people who may have customized their Google Voice incoming call rules based on Google+ Circles. In light of the upcoming changes to Google+ and in the interests of our adopters, we will be removing call routing rules based on Google+ Circles on March 4 2019. From our analysis it appears that users in your domain have created custom call routing rules based on Google+ Circles.

What does this mean for my organization?

After March 2019, incoming calls to Google Voice phone numbers used by members of your organization will not follow any settings they may have had for callers in Google+ Circles. All other call routing rules, such as those based on members’ Google Contacts, will remain intact.

What actions do I need to take?

We recommend reaching out to the affected users and informing them of this update. Google Voice is not currently included in the core services for support and all configuration changes must be made by the users themselves.

We’re here to help

If you have additional questions or need assistance, please contact Google support. When you call or submit your support case, reference issue number 123541551.

Sincerely,

The G Suite Team

Removing the last Google+ features from YouTube

While YouTube and Google+ have been largely separated since 2016, there were a few remaining Google+ linked features that will stop working this month.

* If you shared a private video with a Google+ Circle, people in that Circle will no longer be able to view the video

* You will no longer be able to add a channel icon or cover art in the YouTube mobile app

* Google+ profile and page links will be removed from YouTube channel About tab and channel header

* If you are using a pre-September 2016 version of the YouTube mobile app, you will no longer be able to read or post comments
