Why is the Add Question not an option in the New menu in my new group

Hi Alann. Sorry for the trouble. First, as this is the 9.x forum, are you actually using version 9, or a more recent release? Version 9 is somewhat old, and this setting might have moved.

In recent versions, you'll want to check that a forum application exists within your group. You can do this by going to your group's homepage > pencil icon > manage group > applications, and ensure that a forum is listed in the group's applications. If not, you can create one there. And then, when managing the forum, you can configure whether it supports discussion, question/answer, or both thread types. If it's configured only for question/answer, the group homepage's "New" button should then include an "Ask a question" option.
