  • Starting Your Forum

    Welcome to Your New Forum!

    Here are a few steps on how to get your forum started and getting the discussion flowing.

    Tip: You can open this topic in a new window/tab so you can keep reading while you're taking the steps.

    1. Start a few topics.

    It's a good way to set the direction of your forum and gives your members a starting point. Try 'Forum Introduction', 'Forum Rules' and 'Introduce Yourself' to kick things off. (Click 'New Topic' in the upper left side of the screen to start topics.)

    2. Update your forum details.

    They appear on your forum home page. Click on the 'Home' tab, then click on 'Edit Details' in the Manage Your Forum section. Fill in the form and then click 'Save Details'. Make sure your web address is correct so people can get back to your site.

    3. Customize your forum's design.

    You can change how your forum looks. Go to the 'Home' tab, and this time click on 'Edit Appearance' in the Manage Your Forum section. There are 3 options. (Easy) Pick a template. (Moderate) Click 'Custom Theme' and personalise the colours and background images. (Expert) Click 'Advanced Theme' and customise the CSS. Click 'Save Customization' when you are done.

    4. Link to your forum.

    On your website and blog, add a big link to your forum so all your visitors can find it. Call it 'Forum' or 'Discussion'. Images and buttons can get more clicks. Remember, if you hide the link, your forum won't grow.

    5. Invite people.

    You can bring people directly to your forum with an email invite. Click 'Invite Friends' in the top right. Click on the 'Invite by email' tab and put in your friends email addresses.

    6. Install the notifier.

    There is an optional desktop notifier which will let you know when you get a new message. Download it here: Windows  Mac  Linux

    Enjoy!

    P.S. Remember, the more you link to your forum, the easier it will be for people to find it, and the more discussion you'll have.
