Create Message Board Topics (Groups)

If your group has been given permissions to have a message board, you will need to create a set of initial message board topics and descriptions that will encourage members to access and use the message board.  Members themselves can add topics to the message board but you are the only one (as Group leader) who can delete topics and replies, unless you delegate this permission to someone else.  Use the following steps to create an initial set of message board topics and descriptions:

1. Click Manage Message Boards under Content Tools.
   
   
2. Click the Post Topic icon to add topics to the message board.
   
   
3. Enter the topic in the Title field.  This text will appear in the topic list on the homepage and in the message board display once members open the application.
   
   
4. In the Description field enter any text that you want members to see when they access this topic.  This text appears in the message board application and is used to describe the type of dialog that you expect for messages and replies posted to the topic.
   
   
5. Click the Post button.  You will be returned to the topics page.
