Notes for reviewers
The forum is a place for users to have group discussions. Admins create topics in the content management system. Then, within a topic, users create posts and comment on others' postscommunity conversations, structured by topics, posts, and comments.
Have topical discussions year-round
Unlike session chats, the forum is not tied to a specific piece of content. This means it’s a great place to interact between sessions or to have conversations related to the overall platform and eventyear-round.
In the forum, anyone can ask questions, share ideas, and tell stories about a topic. Conversations can happen slowly over time, as users contribute to a topic. Or they can happen quickly through back and forth messages.
Topics, posts, and tags
Site admins create topics using the front-end editor. Then, within a topic, users create posts and comment on others' posts. Forum tags can be added to both topics and posts.

To make sure attendees can easily find the forum, we recommend locating it prominently in your navigation.
You can also advertise the forum from your home page or another page. Our Popular Social Posts module lets you feature posts from the forum and/or social feed. Clicking a post sends users directly to the conversation.
