I'm SO new to development it hurts. Why won't my menu item show up?

This is my code. I have no idea what I am doing.

using System.Drawing;
using Unbroken.LaunchBox.Plugins;

namespace LaunchboxPlugin

{
  
    class ForumOpener : Unbroken.LaunchBox.Plugins.ISystemMenuItemPlugin
    {

        string ISystemMenuItemPlugin.Caption => "Launch LaunchboxForums";

        Image ISystemMenuItemPlugin.IconImage => Image.FromFile("pirate.ico");

        bool ISystemMenuItemPlugin.ShowInLaunchBox => true;

        bool ISystemMenuItemPlugin.ShowInBigBox => true;

        bool ISystemMenuItemPlugin.AllowInBigBoxWhenLocked => true;

        void ISystemMenuItemPlugin.OnSelected()
        {
            System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("https://forums.launchbox-app.com/");
        }
    }

Look at the LaunchBox debug Log file and see if it indicates any issues with it there.

Also, you may want to make things "public".

I watched the video Jason did on plugin dev and it helped me do what I needed. I didn't understand it quite right , I can write TSQL but OOP is so much different.  I ended up making something simple to test, and I will go from there.  Thank you.
