You can see the new categories here:

And the Lobby has been updated:

For those who were confused by my (admittedly not very good) explanation of how we were going to "link" Topic Forums to the Group categories, here is an example in the Economy & Jobs category:

Unfortunately we had some trouble archiving the few Groups which were being retired, so they will remain off until we can come up with a fix.


What to do if you think your Group has been miscategorized

If you are a member of an active Group and you think you're in the wrong category, here's what to do:

1) Discuss the issue in your Group and come to a consensus about where you believe the Group should be.

2) Once you have reached consensus, send an email to one of the administrators with a link to the discussion and let us know which category you think you should be in.


New functionality

In addition to the reorganization, we have added new functionality to any forum or Group that can be added to your "My Forums" list.

If a forum (or Group) is NOT in your "My Forums" list, you will now have an option to add it right at the top of the page:



If the forum (or Group) is already in your "My Forums" list, you will have an option to remove it.



Thank you for your patience while we work on improvements to Democratic Underground.
