Editing message boards |
You can edit message boards' properties CMS Desk -> Tools -> Message boards, on the Boards tab. If you click the Edit () icon next to some message board, its editing interface will be displayed.
The administration interface reflects the Message board web part's properties. When you add the web part to a page, you can set its properties in the web part properties dialog. When first message is added to the board, the message board is created in this section of the administration interface. At this point, changes made to the web part properties have no effects and you have to make all changes only in this section!
The administration interface for editing message boards is divided into five tabs:
