All forums are a part of some forum group. Pre-defined forums need to be created within some particular forum group and ad-hoc forums are automatically placed into the AdHoc forum group upon creation. A forum group usually contains forums related to the same topic. For example:
• | Computers (forum group) |
• | Announcements (forum) |
• | Technical questions (forum) |
• | FAQ's (forum) |
• | Web design (forum group) |
• | CSS (forum) |
• | XHTML (forum) |
Creating a new forum group

• | Group display name: the forum group name displayed on your website |

• | Forum group base URL: URL displayed when the user accesses the forum; eg. ~/MyForums.aspx |
