Also, please remember that *not all* of the groups were brought over here from the old GP.com. In case you don't know or have forgotten, these are the ones that were maintained, according to category:
a) 4 in Family Matters - MIL Anonymous, Grandparents without Grandchildren, Empty Nest No Longer and Grandparents Unplugged
b) 3 in Grandparenting - Grandparents Caring for Grandkids, New Grandparents and Grandparenting from Afar
c) 1 in Food - Grandma's Pantry
d) 1 in Just for Fun - General Gabbery
e) 1 in Love & Relationships - All Single golden grirs and guys wanted
f) 1 in Other - Grandparents' Visitation Rights
Some new groups have cropped up, already, also. But, new or old, they are all there in the Community section. :- )
... And if you've been looking for one or more of your old groups from the "old" GP.com, they're in the Community section. Yes, I said the COMMUNITY section! I realize that not everybody sees the word "Community" and automatically thinks, "Ahah! Groups!" But THAT's where we are!
Don't know how to find the Community section? Just go to the top of the page - the VERY TOP, actually - ABOVE where it says "Grandparents.com: it's great to be grand" (caps for emphasis b/c a number of people have told me they had trouble finding it) - and it's in the MIDDLE of that very top line. Then just click it on and you'll come to a page where the various forums are clustered according to category. For example, if you're looking for Grandparents Caring for Grandkids, we're under Grandparenting. If it's Mothers-in-Law Anonymous you're trying to find, just hit Family Matters.
