DISCUSSION FORUMS:
Discussion Forums is a simple concept where an admin
can create one or more discussion forums, under which multiple discussion
topics, or simply topics may be debated. Members can 'post' to those topic,
or, may create new topics. In a nutshell, a 'forum' may have one or more 'topics',
and similarly a 'topic' may have multiple 'post's posted on it.
If you click on "Discussion Forums" on the left-navigation bar
(LeftNav->DiscussionForums),
you should see a window similar to this: (left-navigation bar is always available on the Bora Applications page. It is advised
you should keep that page around in another browser window):

You should see a window similar to this:
These are all the topics under the forum 'Bora Applications'. The left most
column indicates the username of the poster, then comes a topic title and
a post date. Let's click on the second topic: 'Missing functionality in TT',
you should see it expanded in a new window:
What you see here is the content of this particular topic, and a list of
post titles underneath. Now, there may be numerous posts on a given topic,
however in this particular case there is only a single one, titled 'Ticket
status'.
'All Topics' link on upper-right corner will take us back to the discussion
forum and display all topics of the forum. So will the 'List Topics' button
at the bottom.
Let's click on the post title, 'Ticket status' for now; it will take us to
the content of the post:
