# How do I view neighboring Forums?

## Explore conversations happening in neighboring communities

The "Nearby Forums" feature offers a streamlined way to catch up on news and conversations happening in your surrounding communities.

On the website and mobile app, visit the “Forum” page and locate the green “My Forum(s)” button near the top of the screen. Right next to it is the "Nearby Forums" dropdown menu. Click that button for the following options:

1. **View All Nearby**: Click the "Nearby Forums" dropdown and select the first option, "View All Nearby..." This option combines postings from nearby Forums into one convenient list.
2. **View a Single Nearby Forum**: If you prefer to read postings from just one specific community, click the "Nearby Forums" dropdown and select that area from the list. This will show you postings that originated exclusively from that single area.

#### **Dates and Archives**

Nearby postings are grouped by the day they were published. Click a date from the row at the top to see the conversations from that specific day.

If you want to look back at postings from a single nearby Forum *by issue number*, click the "Browse Archive" button from the row at the top, and scroll for the current month, or, select a different month in the past.
