General
A forum is where users can create topics. You can create a forum inside a group or alone (see image above). You can change the order using the arrows, the order you see is the order displayed on your forum. The 🔒 opens the permissions manager.
To edit a forum, you have to click it. There you can edit the name, type, content and group.
Type:

- "Image Board" requires all topics to have an initial image, like 4chan or imgur.
