Message Boards are a useful tool allowing members to communicate with one another. The Message Boards operate on a hierarchy organized by "Board" -> "Topic" -> "Post". Boards can only be created by admin users and are used as primary categories for organizing topics. Topics can be created by any member and are used as primary discussion points. Posts (also known as "Replies") can be created by any member and are directly related to the topic.

There are a number of different settings and options for the message board module and those will be discussed in sub-sections of this help file.

NOTE: The rest of the documentation on the Message Boards is for the "New" Message Boards, implemented in 2012-2013. If you are not using the new message boards, you may switch over to it via MMS Configuration, Message Board configuration.
