When you create a forum or forum thread, you may see the Compose page with options for Discussion and Question.
This means the forum is configured to give you the option of creating a thread in one of the two format options we support:
Do you just want to discuss things or get some opinions? If yes post a discussion
Discussion - The forum format is a traditional discussion format in which users see a Reply button when they are able to comment on the forum.
Do you need a definite answer? If yes post a question
Question - The forum post is presented as a question for users to respond to. The Question and Answer functionality is very useful because it provides a means of tracking whether or not your question has been answered. Users can post answers and you can award them points for helpful or correct answers.
How do I ask a question?
First use the ask a question widget or search to see if your question has already been answered.
How do I mark a discussion as a Question?
Enter your question title & Click the Mark this discussion as a question box.
Choose a space to submit your question
