The idea that you must be in a Group to post to the Forum seems incredibly odd to me. All the above workarounds and solutions are messy, no? Why can’t we just have the forum behave like a forum, allowing anyone who has an account to post a thread?
I’d love to know the answer to this, too. I want my members to be able to use the Forums, but I don’t want them creating hundreds of groups just so they can post a thread.
(I don’t really understand why you have to be in a group to post in the Forum. Am I missing something?…)
