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.
