Forum and thread types#

The basic structure of a forum is a container for threads, those being a collection of posts, but from version 2.2 onwards, XenForo allows that model to be extended to support a variety of different behaviours.

Forum and thread types include basic discussions, which can contain polls, articles where the first post in a forum is made especially prominent, questions which can have any number of answers and an accepted solution, and suggestions where users can influence the popularity of an idea with votes.

Caution when moving threads#

Care must be taken when threads are moved between forums, to ensure that any special behaviours can be retained at their destination.
