Forum Discussion
Mouth...are you a Cox subscriber? I thought you disco'd from Cox a while back. You previously said you couldn't create a post so I assumed Cox transferred your account to a non-Cox (general public) account.
Curt...I didn't talk you out of anything. I recommended to be consistent with your terms.
"Definitions. You should define and distinguish...or just eliminate...some of your terms: comment, forum, group, post, thread. What's the difference between a post and a comment? Also, you're using the terms forum and group interchangeably. What the difference between a group and an individual forum? KISS."
This entire website is the Forum. One originally joins the Forum. This Forum is broken into Groups: TV, Internet, Phone, App. In accordance with the settings, you can join a Group or leave a Group. That's the difference.

Bruce, take a breath. You're reading way more into an innocent comment than was ever intended. You gave me some notes to help me and I used them. I appreciate when people help me.
But to follow up, you're actually making my point for originally using "forum group" rather than just "forum". For accuracy, it's sometimes better to refer to a forum group. I opted to simplify to "forum" to avoid confusion. The irony of it all is that I was the one who caused the confusion with WiderM when I referred to "group" when the procedure referred to "forum". But, in so far as what a user needs to do, "forum" is fine. It isn't really necessary to know about creating groups and subscriptions. All the user cares about is whether they can paste a copied image and how the heck do I stop all these notifications I don't want?
Anyway, we're all good if you're all good.
