I stumbled into a Groups page yesterday. I couldn’t figure out how to join a group then, and I can’t even find the page today.

I’m dumb, but not THAT dumb. How do I get to the page again (I assume it’s buried somewhere in User CP), and how do I join a group?

There’s several threads about this. Groups are currently disabled.

It’s under User CP, under the “Networking” section.

Well, it’s not there _now_, but when it’s turned on (maybe) that’s where it will be. You will see a list of groups, but be warned, the Join Now button is very teeny tiny and toward the bottom. (At least it was during the 20 minutes (yes, back in the 60s :D) I found the groups and joined one.)
