Adding forums to get the discussion going
You can add more forums to your community to organize discussions around different focus areas. You cannot add existing, stand-alone forums to a community.
Forums that are added to public communities are available from the Public Forums page in the Forums app.
Adding multiple forums to a community provides your members with dedicated discussion areas where they can ask questions and discuss relevant topics.

-
From the navigation bar, click Communities and select the community you'd like to add a forum to.
-
In the community menu, click Forums.
-
Click the Forums tab, then Start A Forum.
-
Enter a name and description, and add tags to the forum.
-
If you want to know about updates to the forum, click the checkbox for I want to know when new topics and comments are made in this forum.
-
Click Save.
Community members can start to post topics and questions in the forum. For more information, see Getting the discussion going in a forum.
