The new WiX Groups system is less structured than the Forum used to be and is more akin to the way Facebook works. As part of the process of migrating the information what used to be Categories and Sub-category headings have all been converted to individual groups.
Using Roadshow Events as an example originally we had a top-level Roadshow Events category. This was split into separate years which contained posts and comments for each individual show for that year.
In Groups the top Roadshow Events level has gone and each individual year has become a group.
This is an example of the 2025 Roadshow Events group.

Click on the Group name to open up the Group
To view the comments associated with this Group click on the comments option and sort by, show more, like and reply options will appear.
Groups that you are already a member of appear on the top right. This shows the group name and number of members.
Clicking on it takes you to that group page.
The Show More option lists other Groups that you are already a member of.
Groups that you have access to but have not yet joined Suggested Groups appear lower down the list.

The Show More option lists other Groups that you are eligible to join.
Finding Things
As there is no longer a top-down hierarchical structure the best way to find something is to use the improved search facility.
Click Search - The Search Box (appears on the top right of the page)
Type the search criteria e.g. 2025
Select Posts or Groups - the search results will be different
Click on a search result and the relevant Group page opens.
Note: A new hierarchical list appears at the top of the page and this can be used to step up and down the Groups menus.
