Using groups with discussion forums

I'd like to create a separate discussion forum for each group in my class.  Students in one group should only be able to see and participate in their group's forum.  Frankly, I feel kind of stupid because I'm sure this is easy.  Any advice will be gratefully accepted.  Thanks.

Make sure your course and your forum is set to separate groups. Use the standard forum for general use. You will get a drop down box to choose each group. For the first group in the dropdown box, add a new discussion topic and when saved, go to the next drop group in the dropdown box and do the same.. etc etc. For each group to only see their own group's posts you need to add a discussion topic for that group individually.

I think I've got it now.  Thanks for the tips, Mary! - Tony

P.S. IMHO this ought to be in a FAQ somewhere.
