Chapter 57. Using a Forum


Using the Forums module is pretty straightforward once it's set up (as I described in the previous two topics). Users start out on a screen that looks something like Figure 57.1, showing the available categories (Recipes and Restaurants) and the available forums.

Figure 57.1. The main Forums module screen.


Also notice that this screen shows the number of private messages the user has waitingnone, in this example. Finally, links are provided to the in-forum search feature, the user's profile within the forums, and so forth.

Icons are used to indicate forums' status:

  • A white icon indicates that no new posts have been made since the user's last visit.

  • A yellow icon indicates new posts in a forum.

  • A lock indicates that the forum is inaccessible to ordinary users.

Keep in mind that the icons can be changed as part of a theme.
