Introduction to Forums

Introduction to Forums

Overview  

Forums is your go-to space for meaningful, community-wide conversations in long form. It's where members come together to start discussions, share opinions, ask questions, and exchange insights and ideas. Whether you're posting feedback, a weekly blog, a business article, a community update, or simply sharing a personal thought, Forums gives everyone a voice. To keep everything organized, you can create categories so you can group similar posts together, making it easier for members to find and follow the topics they care about the most.

 

Who can create Forum posts?  

Based on the host's preference, everyone, specific people, only hosts, and specific roles can create forum posts.
Notes
You can access Forums only when hosts or super host enable it from community Settings.
