To create a forum:When you create a forum, you also set up an account for the forum administrator. The administrator controls visitors' access to the forum tool by creating lists of user names and passwords. The forum administrator can also assign roles to users and create different forum categories.
To create a forum:
|
1 |
On the InterActives main page, click New in the Forum section. The Add Forum page appears. |
|
2 |
Enter a name for the forum. |
|
3 |
Enter the nickname for the forum administrator. This is the administrator's "display name." |
|
4 |
Enter the password for the administrator account. |
|
5 |
Enter the login email address at which the administrator will receive email messages and notifications. Once you create the forum, the log in information will be sent to this address automatically. |
|
6 |
In the Avatar address field, enter the URL to the image you would like to display next to your name in the forum. The avatar provides a "visual identifier" for you. (Note: Users can specify their own avatar when they sign up for your forum.) |
|
7 |
Click Save. The new forum displays on the InterActives main page. |
Before you can use the new forum, you must first configure it. For detailed instructions, see Editing a forum.
