What is a Thread?
A thread is a grouping of one or more related posts. The first post becomes the thread and replies to the original post increment details on the thread, such as the reply count or last post. When I view a forum I don’t see any threads or posts. This may bed because there are no threads in the forum, or if filters on the forms have been applied and no threads match the filter. An example of a filter is filtering to display threads newer than a certain date, such as threads new in the past two weeks.
Memories or stories submitted to the Memory Board are called threads. The reason for this is that when someone submits a story to the board, other community members are allowed to respond to it. Thus, many messages become linked by a common theme, in other words they become linked by a common thread. Accordingly, memories or stories posted on the Memory Board are called threads. When you submit a story to the Memory Board, you are posting a thread.
