Use this page to administer forums to allow users to converse and provide feedback.

To add a forum, click on the "Add" button.

To edit an existing forum, select the forum from the list and click the "Edit" button.

A forum will need a title and a description. You can set a forum visibility to OFF which hides it and all related posts completely, but obviously for a new forum you would want this ON, you can select this by checking the 'Visible' box. Similarly a locked forum can be viewed but not added to, so this should be OFF for new forums; again you can select this by checking the 'Locked' box.

Only non-administrative users can add topics to a forum, by adding a new post to the forum.

If you are an admin user and you need to start a topic, you will need to create an ad-hoc non-administrative user for this purpose.
