Duplicate Studio forum + group is confusing

Since the new group 'Trados Portfolio' has been created, we find the 'Trados Studio' forum in two places:

This is confusing, especially in terms of the email notifications we receive because they have a different subject depending on how the person who wrote the post accessed the forum, see here:

I suggest this gets streamlined so that there is only one path to this forum.

    Groups and Subgroups (which are still Groups) can contain forums, wikis, blogs etc.

    So in your second screenshot you have opened the Trados Studio Subgroup and in there it contains forums for:

    1. General
    2. Trados Studio
    3. Cloud capabilities
    4. Multiterm
    5. Machine Translation
    6. Regex and XPath
    7. Autohotkey
    8. Subtitling

    So it hasn't suddenly been called a forum, it is a forum whereas it wasn't before and you are looking at two different things.  We organised the Trados Studio Group to contain forums for the things people ask questions about when working with Trados Studio.  Obviously one of the things they will ask about is Trados Studio so we have to have a forum for this, but we separated out things that came up so often when using Trados Studio they deserved their own forum.

    I hope that explains it for you?
