I understand the links are categories; then the bolded titles are all different forums — ie, The Community is a forum; Help is a forum, etc.?

This are /c-nnn/ containers ( = "single forum"s if you like this word) - relating to your site manager setup - where you have build ´"groups" and under them your "categories". You will find these groups here in the forum:start…

When you use the comments module on a page so that comments can be posted below, is there a way to categorize them as you post them?

All this comments are stored in "ONE category" : the "Per page discussion" in the group "hidden".
Click on the "hidden" button at the bottom of the forzm overview and you will get the 2 automatically existing categories "per page discussions" and "deleted" ..

All comments belong in one side to the per page discussin (forum category) and on the other side they are LINKED to the pages - where the "module Comments" is inserted or the discuss buttton is allowed.

About your question of the categorisation: all "page" categories ( the name part before the first ":" ) with a comment using the "discuss" button have to be allowed "to use this button" in the setup of the forum in your site manager at - "forum & discussions" - Per page discussions" :
here you have to switch on for every "category:" for your pages where such per page discussion is posible…
On this site manager page you will find for EVERY existing category of your site the possibiility to disable/ enable ( or use the default) starting with this explanation:

Do you want to enable "per page" forum threads? If so, every page from marked categories would contain a button at the bottom called "discuss" which leads to a forum thread dedicated to the discussion about the particular page.

Also note that page discussion/comments can be enabled independently (and embedded within a page) for each page using the Comments module.

When you use the comments module on a page so that comments can be posted below, is there a way to categorize them as you post them?

What do you mean by wanting to 'categorise' the comments?

They are sorted in chronological order, and you can determine whether you want that to be shown ascending (default) or descending (which I think can be done by the attribute order="reverse")

When you use the comments module on a page so that comments can be posted below, is there a way to categorize them as you post them?

1.) like on our community site - the left menu poin "Forum" ( http://community.wikidot.com/forum:start) on the page "forum:start" leads tpo the "OVERVIEW" of all existing Grouos and Categories.

2) to create a new post select by clicking on one of the existing categories - and than you are in one of the (numbered) category "containers" like "/forum/c-16/forum-questions"
( in our community = http://community.wikidot.com/forum/c-16/forum-questions )
Here you can create a new "Thread" - opening a new worm of posts - with one post by you.

3) by selecting of a category such a thread and all posts within are set UNDER these category.

Hope this helps?

Try deleting those pages, then going to Site Manager > Forum Discussion and click on the button titled 'activate forum'

I don't understand why when I click on Form (start), it taks me to the category page. I don't see how I can start a new post. If I click at the bottom of the page (discuss), I get the New Post link. That seems to work fine, but I don't see how to categorize my post. Don't you categorize at the same time you create the post?

In summary: 1) Are you supposed to go to the categories page on forum start; 2) how to create a new post from the categories page 3) how to set a category when setting a new post.

I would really appreciate any help. Thanks.

On my forum I would like to have ananymous user be able to create new threads and posts. I changed my permissions to allow anonymous; create pages, move/rename pages, upload files and rename files. BUT, if I then logout of my account and try to post or create a thread, "Opps…."

Any ideas? Can someone please test for me as well?

You can than change the Thread title and summary ( blank it out)

and MOVE it to "hidden" Deleted Thread" group.

NEVER DELETE a ThREAD - it makes holes in the numbering index of your forum…

Have a look on our community site hidden - deletd threads:

http://community.wikidot.com/forum/c-9/deleted-threads

You will see some (unblanked) old posts and a lot of (blanked out) spam if you click on the

order by: last post date | thread starting date

Actually I'm also want to be able to delete thread…
