Forum type
By _Dr Azlina
Forum_Type
A single simple discussion - A single topic discussion developed on one

page, which is useful for short focused discussions (cannot be used with
separate groups)
Standard forum for general use - An open forum where anyone can start a
new topic at any time; this is the best general-purpose forum
Each person posts one discussion - Each person can post exactly one new
discussion topic (everyone can reply to them though); this is useful when you
want each student to start a discussion about, say, their reflections on the
week's topic, and everyone else responds to these
Q and A Forum - Instead of initiating discussions participants pose a question
in the initial post of a discussion. Students may reply with an answer, but they
will not see the replies of other Students to the question in that discussion until
they have themselves replied to the same discussion.
Standard forum displayed in a blog-like format

the users messaging settings preferences) of each new
posting
People can usually choose whether or not they want to be
subscribed to each forum. However, the teacher can
choose to force subscription on a particular forum

There are 4 subscription mode
options:
Optional subscription Participants can choose whether
to be subscribed
Forced subscription - Everyone is
subscribed and cannot
unsubscribe
Auto subscription - Everyone is
subscribed initially but can choose
to unsubscribe at any time
Subscription disabled Subscriptions are not allowed.

for the forum via a link 'Track / Don't track unread posts'
in Administration > Forum administration
On - Tracking is always on in this forum (so no link in
Administration > Forum administration)
