Creating a new Forum

To create a new forum, you first have to provide a forum topic. If you want to make the new forum accessible for everyone, mark the radio button for Everyone. If you want to restrict access to the forum to specific individuals or groups of people, select the option Individually and set the permissions under the Read access and Write access tabs accordingly. Once you have set up a forum, you are returned to the table showing an overview of all forums once again. Normally, you should open the discussion by posting the first article at this point. When you edit an existing forum, you can select the Archive option. If you choose the Yes option, the forum is moved into the archive and it then disappears from the list of all currently available forums.
