Creating a New Forum
New forums may be created through the Forums Admin screens by a member with administration privileges. From the Tool/Resource Admin page, click "Forums Admin" in the Tool Admin section; from the tool/resource pages, click the "Forums" menu link, then select a forum and click "Admin" at the top of the page. To create a new forum, enter the name of the forum with no spaces and the description of the forum; make the forum public (open to all users) or private (available only to tool/resource members); and indicate whether anonymous (observer) posts are allowed on the forum. You may provide an e-mail address to which all forum posts are sent.
Forums Admin
Members with full forum administration privileges may add new forums (see above), and members who have been granted administration privileges for a particular forum may update that particular forum. From the Tool/Resource Admin page, click "Forums Admin" in the Tool Admin section; from the tool/resource pages, click the "Forums" menu link, and then click "Admin" at the top of the page. Select an existing forum to change the forum name, add or change the e-mail address to which all forum posts are sent, and change the forum description. The page provides links to pages where you can delete individual messages (and responses) or delete the forum entirely.
| Note: If you want to view or change the observer settings on a forum, you must go to the Tool/Resource Admin page and click the "Edit Observer" button. Here you may change whether the forum is public (open to all users) or private (available only to members) and whether or not anonymous (observer) posts are allowed. |
