Managing forums in TeamForge

Questions about forums in TeamForge.

• Can I control which messages get posted to my forum?
  If you are the moderator of a discussion forum, you can not only accept or reject posts sent to that forum, but also add users to the trusted users list, letting their posts bypass moderation.
• How can I stay informed about events on my CollabNet TeamForge site?
  To keep up with changes, you can be notified by an automatic email when an item you are interested in is updated.
• Can I move a discussion to another project?
  No. Discussions cannot be moved between projects.
• How can I monitor a forum or mailing list?
  There are two methods for monitoring a forum or mailing list in TeamForge: at the Discussion Forum level and at the My Workspace level.
• Can I subscribe to a CollabNet TeamForge discussion foum's mailing list through an email?
  Sure, you can subscribe to a discussion forum's mailing list to keep up with changes, via an email. When you subscribe or monitor a discussion forum, you are notified by an automatic email whenever there is any update to the discussion.
• How do I create a new forum topic?
  A forum can have any number of topics. A topic start a message thread to which other users can reply. Create a new forum topic to begin discussion of a new subject.
• How do I find the email address for a forum?
  The email address for the forum is displayed on the Topic Summary page. If a mailing list is not enabled, you will not see an email address on the Topic Summary page.
• How do I remove a user from a discussion?
  Unfortunately there is not currently a way for a SourceForge admin to remove a user from monitoring. You will need to have the user login and remove themselves from monitoring via the Monitoring button on the My Workspace page.
• How do I post a reply to a forum topic?
  To post a reply to a forum message, follow the steps below.
• I can see the message I posted to a discussion in the web UI, but I didn't receive any of the responses via email. Why is this?
  In order to receive forum posts via email, you must monitor the forum. You can do this by placing a check next to the forum you wish to monitor and choosing "Monitor Selected" from the Monitor drop down at the bottom of the Forum list.
• Why are some of the discussions threaded?
  Posts that are sent the mailing list address of the discussion will create new topics, and hence will not be threaded. Posts that are made in response to another post will be threaded beneath the original post.
