I have followed their instructions and a new heading called (funnily enough) 'Groups' has been added into the header bar. As yet, it is waiting for me to publish the webpage with this added. I don't understand what was wrong with the Forum we have, but as you can see, we have no option other than to use the new 'Groups' along with the same sub headings I will be creating. If you are reading this before I publish the new webpage it will likely not make much sense. I am merely drawing to your attention that from October 15th 2025 Wix will start to disable our Forum and in March 2026 it will disappear completely.
I am still playing around with the layout of the new 'Groups' and trying to find out if it is going to work the same as the Forum or if there are some changes. As soon as I am happy with what we have had imposed on us, I will publish the new webpage. This will likely be in a few days so please bear with me whilst I am having to learn what's new.
It is not what I wanted but looks like we are stuck with it. Please don't shoot the messenger!

Thank you for letting me know, I would just like to say that I have had very good feedback about this forum and how helpful it has been for many of my customers. Good luck with the changes.
