    Asking Questions Inside of Groups

    Inside of a group there is a blue button located to the right of the "Discussions" header. Before attempting to push the button and ask a question, make sure that you have logged into the community and secondly that you have joined the group. You can join the group by clicking the gray Join button located below the group icon image. If it is a public group you will then automatically become a member of the group. If the group is private, you must wait to be accepted into the group by a Group Leader.
