All public posts and articles are displayed in the main global forum here.

Click the Forums menu tab from the main menu.

The Forums tab aggregates all posts and articles from the mini forums hosted within Groups. Users can search the Groups directory looking for relevant groups near them or in a category they’re interested in. Anyone can create their own dedicated group page to advertise their services, which is free. One of the great features of creating a group is the ability to host a forum within your group page. Members can then join your group and participate in your forum. Members will also get notified of any new posts you create or events added into your group.

In order to create an article or post on EnjoyHolistic.com you either have:

• Create your own group page and post a topic into your forum.
• Or join another user’s group and reply to their comments or posts. You can also create posts yourself in another user’s group if the group admin has allowed it.  All members can post comments.
  

All posts are then displayed within the Posts/Articles tab of the group itself and published within the global forum as well, if the group is public.
