Re: How do I even forum?

As the pro-forum user you are @taokat, did you learn anything new or have you worked it all out now?

 

Or, anything we missed you'd like to add? I'd love your tips.

I did learn something new @Ngaio-RO which is great. I hadn't actually clicked to see all the topics, so my viewing had been limited. 

 

One thing I do wonder about, is why next to some of the topics they have a red conversation icon, whereas most of them are black? What does that mean?

It took me a while @taokat but I found out.

 

What we finally worked out was the red speech bubbles are "Hot Topics" and hot topics have a certain number of posts. The black speech bubbles are just topics. Does that make sense?

Ahhh thank you so much @Ngaio-RO. Now I know! I knew there had to be a reason for it :-)
