What is the puspose of article groups?
I understand using them to organize articles but it doesn't appear as if the groups are used anywhere outside of account managment on hub pages. Am I missing an opportuinty to structure and present the articles better?
Apart from organizing your hubs, hub grouping also increases your hubs visibility. As visitor view or read one of the hub from the group, the other hubs from the same group will be listed at the bottom of that hub.
Maybe you're missing this? At the bottom of each hub is a bar, with the first line of "Vote Up", "Share", "Print", etc. and second line with "useful", "funny", etc. Directly underneath that is the third line and you might see a title of another of your hubs there with a L arrow, and on the right side of that line a title of yet another of your hubs with a R arrow. These two hubs are from the group you've put the hub in. One listed directly before and one after in your Group list. Therefore, by changing the order of the list in that Group, you can control which two hub titles appear on this line. Hope this helps.
Great explanation! I was seeing the articles but apparently it was showing my unrelated, ungrouped articles.
Glad it helped! I note that now that the hub page format has changed there is not all those things I listed still on a bar at the bottom.

I have been hub hopping lately and I am disgusted with the incoherent garbage that I am coming across - nothing but poorly translated articles of about 400 words, usually without even any formatting. I would say that more than half of the articles I randomly encounter are clearly nothing but spun...

Please note that we did not make any functional changes to Hub Groups (such as integrating it with About the Author)...

I have neglected to place many of my hubs (nearly 500) into Groups. When I go into the Managing Groups section I can drag each hub into a group. This works, however with 500 hubs and 20 or so groups, this is very difficult to do easily as I'm constantly scrolling up, and often place a hub in the...

As mentioned in a couple of forum threads recently, Hub Groups (the "More in this Series" module on Hubs) is officially being retired. Groups were created to help Hubbers connect Hubs belonging to a series (e.g., a Hub with multiple parts), making it easy for readers to access the other...
