Forum

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' posts. Forum tags can be added to both topics and posts.

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 have conversations year-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.

The forum home page lists topics.

Users create posts within a topic.

The JUNO team will help you build the topics in the content management system. You should provide this information for each topic:

• Title (100 characters max)

• Abstract, which shows up below the title (250 characters max)

• Tags (These are optional. Learn more about forum tags below.)

Create forum tags

Provide the JUNO team with a complete list of forum tags to add to your CMS. Make sure to define which tags should be added to each topic.

Moderation

Attendees can edit or delete their own posts. As a site admin, you have control of all content. You can delete any post.

Planning a forum for a multi-site platform

You can add the forum to multiple sites. But note that the content will be shared across sites. If someone posts to the forum on one site, people on the other site see it too.
