How do I post to a forum?
Forums are organizational units that group topics within the site. You can post within a forum by opening a topic and posting your message there. Forums and discussion topics can be used to engage site participants in a conversation, to share work with site participants and receive feedback, and to give site participants a space to ask questions.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Choose a topic.

Select the title of a topic to access the topic.
Note: Topics are indented underneath the forum where they are located.
Select Start a New Conversation.

After you select the Start a New Conversation button, the message composition page will appear.
Note: You must have appropriate permissions in the topic to start new conversations. By default, students in course sites and members in collaboration sites can start conversations.
Enter a message.

You can use the Rich-Text Editor to format your message or add other rich text content such as links or images.
Note: The editor will keep track of word count in the lower right corner.
