Before you can start writing forum threads and messages, you have to create.... a forum.

Release 4.x, 3.x Release 2.x, 1.9.x

#From the Forum menu in the Menu module, click Admin forums.

On the Admin Forums page, click the Create/Edit Forums tab.
Use the Create Forums tab to create a new forum.

The Create New forum page configures the setting for this specific forum.
Enter the following information in each field:
- Name: Enter a name for the forum.
- Description: Enter a more detailed description of this forum.
- Show Description: Select this option. Now the forum's description will appear when users display the list of forums on the site.
- Prevent Flooding: Select this option, then select 1 min. This requires users to wait at least 1 minute between posts. This will help reduce automated postings from spammers.
- Moderator User: Select the user that you created earlier. Remember, you assigned that user to the Forum Admins group to become a forum moderator.
- Moderator Group: Select the Forum Admins group that you created earlier. Remember, you gave that group the necessary permissions to administer the forum.
Leave the remaining options as their default.
