    For the life of me I cant seem to join this group.  I didnt think I was computer inept, but maybe I was wrong.  I am a paying member so that should be ok. Any ideas?
    Thanks

    On the Cedar Rapids/Iowa City home page you should see a "Join Group" selection in the upper right corner. Is that showing up? What happens when you select it? You should get a club "notification" that you've joined the Group.
    To test it, I just joined the Waterloo group and it worked fine.
    If it's not working for you, we might need to get JB involved.

    There are 2 different places that you can click in order to join a group.  Note that you do NOT need to be a club member to join a group and you can join as many groups as you want.
    If you are not seeing these links, please post what Operating system and browser you are using.
    Option 1:  From the "Interests Groups" page (under the "Community" menu option)

    Option 2:   On the groups page

    I had this same problem. I think what fixed it for me was completing the verified registration. To do this, click on the link at the bottom of the initial registration email. Before I did this, I still showed up as a registered member but was unable to join groups. Hope this helps.

    Thanks Fragaphilic, I clicked on the registration link and when I signed back in I had the "join group" option! Thanks Fragaphilic!

    Yes, it should ask you to verify your registration and give you the option to resend the email (which it doesn't appear to be doing). I'm going to report this as a bug.
