Discussions
Would you find it helpful to have organization managers and participants all communicating with each other in one place? If so, then you should take advantage of the Discussions feature. The feature is essentially a web forum for your site. Visitors can post topics. Other visitors can then post comments on each topic.
Creating Topics
Website admins and public visitors both have the ability to create discussion topics. To create a topic, someone needs to simply click the Create Topic button at the top of the Discussions page. This button is visible in both the admin view and the public view.
Making Comments
Website admins and public visitors both have the ability to comment on topics. To comment on a topic, someone needs to simply click the topic name, and then select the Make Comment button at the top of the Topic page. This button is visible in both the admin view and the public view.
Admin Ability to Manage Content
If anyone ever posts a topic or comment you do not approve of, you can delete it with just a click. There is a large red Delete icon next to each entry. In addition, if you would like to completely shut down the Discussions area for whatever reason, you can also do so with just a click. There is a Disable Local Discussions box at the bottom of the Discussions page; simply select this to disable the entire section. Nobody will be able to make or view posts if the section is disabled.
Sharing Your Discussions
To share a site's Discussions page with people, all you need to do is direct them to your website's URL. Once on your Home page, they'll see a Discussions icon, and can click it to access the area. If you'd like, you can even direct people right to the Discussions page, without them having to go to the site Home page first. Learn more about sharing information on a site.
