Forum Management

Once logged in to your web site as an admin user, you will need to browse to the page which contains your forum. Using the

Managing Discussions and Forums

The forum module uses groups, which can contain multiple forums.
Each of these forums can then contain multiple discussions.
So, for example, we could have a Group named Coffee.
Under the Coffee group, we could have the forums "Coffee Cups" and "Coffee Flavors". Your users would then be able to create a topic under "Coffee Flavors" name "My Favorite Flavor", where they could discuss their favorite flavors of coffee.
