Create a new topic post

In Forumbee, a new post is called a "topic". Follow these steps to add a new topic. 

As a moderator for your community, you can either post a new topic from within the Community (the members area) or from within the Admin > Moderate area. Editing posts from within the Moderate area provides a few additional capabilities, so we will cover that in this article.

Create a topic

1. Go to Admin > Moderate and click Add Topic.
    

   

    
2.  Select a category to post into. Enter a title and a description.
    

   

    
3. To add images or file attachments, drag and drop them into the topic area.
    

   

    
4. To add video, click the video icon and paste the link to your video. Supported video services include YouTube, Vimeo, Wistia and Vidyard.
    

   

    

   

    

    

5. Save your changes.
   • Click Save Draft  to save what you have and continue editing it later. After saving the draft, click Preview topic to preview it in the community.
   • Click Publish to post the topic in the community. After publishing, click View topic in the side column to view it in the community.
