This module allows you to integrate full-featured forums into your web site. There are two basic types of forums:

 

Pre-defined forums - created by the administrator and then displayed on the web site.
Ad-hoc forums (article comments) - created for a single document when the visitor posts the first comment to the given document.

Subscribe to receive all posts added to the forum or thread
