Create a New Forum

Before you can start writing forum threads and messages, you have to create.... a forum.

From the Menu:

  1. Select Forums > Admin Forums.

     Tip

    You can also click the Admin Forums button on the Forums listing
  2. On the Admin Forums page, click the Create/Edit Forums tab.
  3. Use the Create Forums tab to create a new forum.
    Create Forum page
    The Create New forum page configures the setting for this specific forum.
  4. In the Main details area, enter the following information in each field:
    • Name: Enter a name for the forum.
    • Description: Enter a more detailed description of this forum.
    • Show Description: Select this option. Now the forum's description will appear when users display the list of forums on the site.
    • Prevent Flooding: Select this option, then select 2 min. This requires users to wait at least two minutes between posts. This will help reduce automated postings from spammers.
    • Moderator Group: Select the Forum Admins group that you created earlier. Remember, you gave that group the necessary permissions to administer the forum.

       Tip

      As you type the group name, Tiki will attempt to find all groups that match.

    Leave the remaining options as their default.
  5. Click Save. Tiki saves the information and reloads the page. Your newly created forum is listed on the Forums tab:
    Your new forum is shown at the bottom of the page.
