forum

An Internet forum, or message board, is an online discussion site where people can hold conversations in the form of posted messages. They differ from chat rooms in that messages are often longer than one line of text, and are at least temporarily archived. Also, depending on the access level of a user or the forum set-up, a posted message might need to be approved by a moderator before it becomes publicly visible.

Forums have a specific set of jargon associated with them; example: a single conversation is called a "thread", or topic.
A discussion forum is hierarchical or tree-like in structure: a forum can contain a number of subforums, each of which may have several topics. Within a forum's topic, each new discussion started is called a thread and can be replied to by as many people as so wish.

Depending on the forum's settings, users can be anonymous or have to register with the forum and then subsequently log in to post messages. On most forums, users do not have to log in to read existing messages.

    Had reports of people directing members away from the forum via PM.

    Had reports of people directing members away from the forum via PM, and also via email before that. So those who have been reported so far have been blocked from using the PM system and their posts will sit in a moderation queue before going live. Keep the reports coming in newbies. Thanks...

    Express yourself with forum smilies :)

    Click the smilie in the main text area and you will now get a whole new menu at the bottom. It'll show your recently-used smilies first. And if you click the down arrow you can search for smilies too, to make sure you get the right ones. :) :tophat::briefcase::gradcap::eyeglasses::sunglasses:
