Town Forum
The town forum is a place for town members to communicate. To open the town forum, click the "Town Forum" button located on the left side of the screen.
Creating and Editing Forums
In order to use the town forum a forum must be created first. To create a forum, click the "Manage Forum" link at the bottom right of the page. At the top of the new page, in the box labelled "Create Forum", simply type in a name for the forum and click OK. You may create multiple forums here, as well as manage and delete existing forums.
Town management may start surveys or label a thread as "Important", which will keep it listed at the top of the forum. They also have the power to edit and delete posts, as well as edit, move, lock, and delete entire threads. However, only founders can access the Manage Forum page.
Hidden Forums
Hidden Forums are forums that are only visible to the town's founder(s) and counselors. The button leading to the forum will appear to all members of the town; however, members ranked citizens will be lead to a page stating: "You cannot access the internal forums."
To create a hidden forum, simply check the "Hidden Forum" box to the right of where you enter the name. To make an already existing forum a hidden forum, change the Access from "Town Forum" to "Hidden Forum." You may also make hidden forums town forums in the same way.
