There's another thread about this that I want to comment on as well, but I have to find it first which is hard now, since some things don't work for ME anymore.
Personally, I've always preferred the groups to the forums. When I joined back in 2008, they weren't on there. A couple of months later, they added them. I thought it was so cool that members could create and manage groups. And they had an option of whether they wanted to create a forum for the group or leave it as is. Some members added forums to their groups, which made the group portion "die off". I didn't add forums to my groups.
Then last December or so, they changed the format so you could start individual threads, like a forum. You could also "subscribe", like on a forum. Until they added that, you had to check manually for activity. I think people forgot they joined the groups since they didn't know if a new post was added. Then, since they didn't go to the much groups anyway, they don't know you can subscribe to them now......
But I noticed since that change, the groups have been even LESS active. They were never as active as the forums, BUT a few I belong to were moderately active, like the books group.
No more...I left a few, and I just check for activity once in awhile. I've given up on them.
Nammu, sorry you're having trouble too.   I thought it was just me. There are some things not working for me anymore either, hence I don't come here much anymore.... It's not the supportive place it used to be, as I came on here to socialize.
I miss you in the groups.I miss the conversations I've had too, when the groups were moving pretty well......
