Group FAQs

What is a Group?
A group provides the opportunity for people to read and discuss specific issues. Groups differ from Forum discussions in two key ways: one, they require membership to post and two, there will be several discussion threads within one Group; you can participate by posting comments, asking questions, and sharing experiences, as well as providing web links to related topics, photos, and other documents to share with the members of the Group.

How do I join a Group?
To browse the network's groups, go to the Groups sub-menu tab, found under the Community tab at the top of the page. If the group is public, there will be a link in the top right of the page where you can join the group.

If the group is private, you can send a request for an invitation to the group admin from the group's page.

Who can read my Group posts?
If a Group is set to public, anyone with internet access can read them. If a Group is Private, only the members of that group can read them.
