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
Go to CMS Desk -> Tools -> Forums and click 
New forum group. Fill in the following fields:
| • | Group display name: the forum group name displayed on your website |
| • | Group code name: the forum group name used in your code |
| • | Description: description of the forum group displayed on your website |
| • | Forum group base URL: URL displayed when the user accesses the forum; eg. ~/MyForums.aspx |
| • | Forum group unsubscription URL: URL of a page where users can unsubscribe from the given forum group |
Click OK to save.
