1.1 Structure
When first going to the forum, it looks like a list of
categories:
A category is used to determine a topic of discussion Example: in
a category titled “Software” it would not be appropriate to start a
discussion about hardware and vice-versa. Once you have entered a
category, you will find a list of topics related to it. All those topics
are chronologically organized. The chronology is not based on the date
of the topic creation but rather on the most recent topic activity.
Consequently, the most recent active topics are listed at the top of the
list:
The list only displays the title of the topic When you click on
the topic title, you will be shown its entire discussion. This
discussion is composed of several messages organized by date of
publication. The messages listed at the top are the older ones. The most
recent messages are displayed below:
