Contribute to Forum Discussions

Submitted by admin on Tue, 02/15/2011 - 10:31pm

Each group has a forum where active discussions can be started, commented on and viewed. A privilege of group membership is that forum discussions can be initiated. Group administrators may make discussions inactive. 

Forums provide a place where discussions can be tracked. These discussions come in the form of initiated topics. Forums can be made public or private within a group. A forum must first exist before a topic can be initiated because the topic must be placed inside a forum. After discussions are opened in a forum they may be commented on.
