In the Forum, you can post short statements in structured, question-answer lists. You can create as many forums as you like. A forum is divided into three structural levels. This should allow for the best possible structuring of the discussion topics:
3 Levels:
Forum: Superior title with short description
: Division of the main topic into sub-topics.
: Individual messages
It is also very helpful to inform yourself about Display options for forum.
Creating and editing a Forum
To do that click in the left column on the link add Forum. Then fill out the Input mask for the first level introduction (main topic). When you are satisfied with the Preview of the texts, dont forget that you have to publish the Forum. Subsequently, now you can create several topics, which can be discussed by postings.
The text of the main topic (Forum) can be changed at any time. The topics and the postings one can edit only in case nobody else have read them yet.
Creating topics/themes
Afterwards, to discuss on specific themes, you can create additional topics to the forum.
- You have already clicked on the title of a Forum, and a looking at the Forum description, and eventually at a list of already created themes/topics.
- You can see a small input mask after the end of the topics list.
- Enter in your text. Check the text carefully if its correct, before you save it.
- Click below the input fields on the button Create topic.
- Now click on the title of the topic that you have created.
- While no other user have read the new topic, you can still see to the right side of the gray field, the edit text link. Whilst you see this link, in case you have made a mistake, you can still correct them.
Creating Postings
The answers to a topic/theme are called postings.
- Click on the title of the posting, to which you want to reply (refer) to
- At the end of the page then appears a reply input mask, where you can enter your text
- Click on the add reply button to save your posting
- Click on the title of the posting.
- While no other user have read the new posting, you can still see to the right side of the gray field, the edit text link. Whilst you see this link, in case you have made a mistake, you can still correct them.
The answer form is not displayed if you have chosen the display setting, all items full texts.
Hiding topics/postings
There is a possibility that is available to the creator of a Forum (or to the write permitted users), to hide individual topics and/or their corresponding postings (replies). To do that, the ones that have the right for it, in the cell of each topic/posting can click on the hide-link that is to the rightmost, outside of the cell itself.
