  • What it does

    Group Discussions adds a discussion board to each group. Members start discussions and reply with comments, like a small forum for the group. It needs Groups, Comments and Timeline.

    ACP > Modules > Groups > Group Discussions

  • Using it

    On a group page, members click + in the discussions section to start one. Members can do this by default. The group's owner can turn it off for a member in the member's settings.

    • Replies are comments on the discussion.
    • Members can follow a discussion to be notified of replies.
    • The person who started a discussion can edit it until someone replies (see Always Allow Updates).
