Using Group Forums

In a group Forum in BCshare, users can hold online discussions by posting comments about a common topic.

Any member of a Group can create a Forum while on a Group page by scrolling down the Forums tab to "Create Forum Post."

Navigating Through Multiple Forum Topics
If your group has multiple forum topics, you can navigate through them clicking on the Forum topic title in the section just below the Subject text (see below). As you mouse over the topic, you get the message "Go to next forum topic."
