Expanding my forum

by jeffcpr February 3rd 2017, 11:29 pm

I am wondering is there a way to open an new forum that is still attached to the current forum. We are running a fishing tournament that is really becoming its own thing. I don't want a whole new forum, I really would like a new forum page to house all the tournament discussions. Just wondering is this possible.

Thanks
Jeff

Hello @jeffcpr,
You can always add a new board on your main forum specifically regarding the fishing tournament. Is this something you would want to do then?

Cheers,
James

Yep I would like to do this the tournament will take up much of our forum and I think it is time to divide it.

That is fine @jeffcpr, just follow these steps to create a separate category / board for the tournament itself.

Step 1: Open Administration Panel
Step 2: Click on the General Tab
Step 3: Click on "Categories & Forums" under Forum
Step 4: Click the Green Plus Icon (+) and add a new category. You can name it what you want.
Step 5: Save the new category.
Step 6: Next, add a new board under the new category. Name it about the fishing tournament.
Step 7: Verify the permissions you want for that forum.
Step 8: Save!

With that, you should have a separate category & forum based specifically for the Fishing tournament where you can move all current threads and discussions into that board to keep things organized.

If you have any issues with this, just let me know!

Cheers,
James
