Joining groups to post
Joining a group within Sage City will activate all the functionalities within that group, such as posting to forums and comments for blogs.
To join a group, navigate to the desired group using the site navigation. Once on the group home page, click the orange bar under the group navigation “This group requires membership for participation – click to join”.
After joining the group, you will see the blue "+ New" button appear in that group:
Please note that you will need to join each group you are interested in participating in.
Creating a new post
Now that you've joined a group and you see the new post button, you can post to a forum in one of 2 ways.
1. Post to a forum from the group home page.
Clicking the new post button from the group home page will give you a drop down list of all the available forums within that group. You can select the forum from the drop down and the “Create/Edit Post” screen will open. Once you select to post, your question will go into that selected forum.
2. Post directly to a forum.
If you navigate to the forum within a group you would like to post your question to, clicking the blue “+ New” button will automatically open the "Create/Edit Post" window and post to that forum.

Reporting spam and abuse
Spammers and trolls have a way of creeping into communities so if you run across a spam post or a post that may be abusive to others in the forum, you can flag this so it gets removed. To do this, open the post and click on “More” on the original post in the thread. An option to "Flag as spam/abuse" will appear in the drop-down list.

On the Options tab, scroll down to the “Signature” section.
You will have size, font, and color options as well as the option to add images, such as a company logo.
