new web site - social forums

I have just been looking around the new website and have stumbled across "social forums". There looked to be some interesting ones there, but when I went to look at the posts, it comes up with "private" or "you do not have permission to view ' or similar.
How do you see this stuff or is it all "top secret"?

 

You have to join most of them. You can always unjoin if you like.

 

I found the "social forums" bit, and now I've lost it! How do I get there?

 

Upper left side there's a tab that looks like three little torsos. Click it and you'll see it.

 

there are no social forums for me either.

 

If you had a list of social forums that you were a part of before the change then click on the far left tab that looks like a family tree type deal at the top and your watched social forums will be there. If you didn't have any before follow fourspeedwagon's post.

 

There are no threads to display.

(You have insufficient privileges to post here.)

I was able to look at the one I am signed up for, but unable to look at any of the other ones

 

@49ratfink Most of the social groups you have to join. To do that you need to click on "social forum tools" on the right side just above the black bar that runs across the screen. A drop down will appear that gives you the option to join that particular forum.

 

there it is!
