When you navigate to Forums on your club's website, you'll see forums you're subscribed to, forums you can subscribe to, and forums that might be read-only.
You can view all your forum memberships by clicking My Forum Preferences in Forums or in your Member Profile.
Automatic Forums are based on other factors related to your membership, like interests you selected, committees you're involved with, or even your member type. Look for the text in italics to learn more. You can't add or remove yourself from an Automatic Forum without changing the item it's based on, like removing yourself from a committee. If you need help, contact the Forum moderator or your website administrator.
On the contrary, Optional Forums can be joined and left at any time. Select the Join icon to subscribe to a forum, or the Leave icon to remove yourself from a forum.
