Creating a Forum Thread

A "thread" is a group of forum messages about a topic — a post and its replies.

From the Menu:

Select Forums > List Forums.
Right now there is only one forum — the one you just created.
On the List forum page, click the forum name.
The Forum page lists all the topics (and their threads) in the forum. Since this is a new forum, Tiki tells you that there are no topics to display.

The Forum page lists all topics in the forum and allows you to create new topics.

Note
The Moderator Actions toolbar appears because you are logged in as the Admin. Regular users will not see this area.
Click New Topic to create a new topic (post) in the forum.
Enter the following information in each field on the page:
- Title: Enter a title for the post.
- Edit: Enter the body of the post here. Remember, you enabled the Use wiki syntax option earlier. You can use the regular wiki syntax, including the code highlighter, when writing a forum topic.
- Watch for replies: By default, the Send me an e-mail when someone replies to my topic option is selected. This allows you to monitor the thread. Tiki will send you an email each time another user responds to your post.
Note
You will learn about thread types later.
Click Post. Tiki saves the posts and displays the Forum post page.

By default, the following actions are available for each post:

Edit the post.
Delete the post.
Report the post to the moderator.
Stop watching (monitoring) the post. If you did not select the Watch for replies option, you would be able to select the (Monitor) icon to begin monitoring the post.

In addtion, the following actions are available for the entrie thread:

You can also Print this post or Print the entire thread.
