How is message board content organized?
The content is structured as follows: • Categories: A category is a collection of message boards or other categories. Categories organize message boards into a tree structure so that members can find discussions more easily. • Topics: Topics (also known as “threads”) are the discussions, consisting of one or more posts displayed as a list, or in a tree structure of posts and their replies. • Posts: Posts are the individual discussion contributions made by community members. • Replies: Replies are posts made in response to other posts, and are organized in a flat, tree or threaded mode. How do I create a topic or post a reply in the forums? To start a new topic, choose the appropriate message board and click Post New Topic. Type your topic header in the subject line and type your text in the message box. Before you submit your post, you can spell check your text by clicking Spell Check. When you are satisfied with the text, click Preview to see how your post will appear when published.
