Answer
The administrator of a project defines a list of forums in the Project Settings (authors and subscribers can not create forums). The forums allow users from a project to communicate with each others.
Each project can have one or more discussion forums. Each forum has the following properties:- Name: The text you want to be displayed to identify the discussion forum. This field is required.
- Description: A short description to describe the subject of the specific forum. This field is required.
To add a topic in a given forum, click on the forum name, then click on New Conversation. You can now enter a subject, a body and attach files to your message.
Two options are available:- sticky: if checked, the topic will stay displayed at the top of topic list, in bold
- locked: if checked, users can not add replies to the message
