Q. How can I join a Affinity Group?

A. To join a Affinity Group, first find one you are interested in by navigating around the pages in the Affinity Group tab at the top of every Community Network page, or by using the search function's All Affinity Groups option. Once you are on the home page of an open Affinity Group you will see a link on the top right of the Affinity Group information, with a small blue arrow next to it, reading Join this Affinity Group. Click this link and you will be taken to a page that says Join This Affinity Group. You will be asked to select an email address to use (especially handy if you use more than one email address on the Community Network (see Can I use more than one email address on the Community Network?). Click the Submit button to join the Affinity Group, or Cancel if you've changed your mind. (You can also simply move on to another page and not join.)

See Can I request to join a closed Affinity Group? for information on joining an invitation-only Affinity Group.

The only Affinity Groups you cannot join are the "General" Affinity Groups, which are automatically assigned.

Later, if you wish to modify your settings on any Affinity Group, you can use the Email Settings link at the very top of any Community Network page (see Email Settings).
