What is a forum?

[HW Techie]

We all have to start somewhere, so here's a quick guide on how to use the forum, and what all these "forum,thread,post" words actually mean.

Post
This is the message you add. When you find a discussion you wish to join in, or a question you can help answer, you click the "Post Reply" button. This will add your message or post to the posts already there.

Thread
This is the list of posts or messages, all started by one post. When you wish to post on a new subject, you start a new thread.

Forum
This is the confusing one. The HW forum is made up of many sub-forums, each with it's own theme/topic. This is the "Welcome Meeting" forum, the thread is "What is a forum?"
