Forums allow members to participate in discussions on a variety of issues by posting topics, comments, and replies. Forums can contain a number of topics. Members can post their thoughts and connect through the discussions in the community forums.

Forums come in 2 layers. The Forum allows you to post a general topic of discussion. The next level down is the "Topic" these are more specific posts, which users can comment and reply to. The forums are meant to organize topics and provide the user with a clear list of open discussions in which they may either read or contribute to, depending on their permissions.
