Discussion Forums
Within your neighborhood site, there will be a number of Discussion Forums. For example, "Welcome to New Neighbors", "School News Exchange", "Neighborhood Announcements" and so on.
Note: If you would like a NEW Discussion Forum to be set up, this can be done easily by your site administrator. Please contact them. If you want to look at a specific Discussion Forum, just click on that Discussion to see the contents. Alternatively, if you click on the Main Menu item "Forums", you will see a page that lists all the Forums as shown below.
How a Discussion Forum WorksWithin your neighborhood site, there will be a number of Discussion Forums. A discussion forum is a place for people to discuss TOPICS of common interest that are all related to that specific Forum. For example, inside the "Neighborhood Announcements" Forum, there may be a number of TOPICS all being discussed, such as "Block Party", or "lost pets". Someone needs to start the discussion TOPIC inside a Forum. Then, once the discussion TOPIC has started, anyone can make REPLIES. The collection of REPLIES to a TOPIC is called a discussion THREAD. This is how discussions progress - members make a REPLY to an existing TOPIC inside a FORUM. So, in summary, each Discussion Forum is made up of TOPICS and each topic is made up of one or more REPLYs.
