| Why use Discussion
Forums? |
|
Discussion Forums allow users
to share ideas with each other in discussions on certain topics.
As opposed to "chat", where communications are dynamic, visible
only at the time the message was posted to the participating
users, and disappear after a few moments.
Forum posts remain visible for users to check back at a later
time, along with having the capability for users to search
and browse specific topics, as well as receive email notifications
if anyone replies to the posting.
