Elon Report Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 When creating a forum, I can make it as Discussion or Questions. Is there a way a single forum can have both? Otherwise, do I need to create a second forum for any topic I want to provide experts on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Stridgen Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 You cannot have a forum set as both. However, you can set a discussion forum to allow solved posts. That's actually what we have here for our support forums. Im not honestly sure on what you mean by "provide experts on". You are better to wait until things are released rather than trying to prepare for things without the knowledge of how they work, to be honest. For example, you dont 'give' someone an expert rank.

Solution David N. Posted April 29 Solution Share Posted April 29 Judging from the video, community experts are tagged in "Discussion" forums. I can't imagine why it wouldn't work the same way with "Question" forums. There's no need to create additional forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Silvester Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 Question and Answer forum mode does not exist in v5, it has been replaced by better solving tools and notifications such as this feature. Matt, Sonya*, David N. and 3 others 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm too eager. 😞 Let me do a couple out of context analogies so I can appear smarter while admitting you are correct: Should I stop dreaming about living on the moon now that I know we are going there? Should I stop preparing my child's room until I know what gender they prefer? Thanks Marc. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure I would recommend living on the moon, to be honest. I believe there arent going to be many good restaurants available, and the air quality sucks 12 hours ago, Elon Report said: Should I stop preparing my child's room until I know what gender they prefer? Not at all. In fact I think you should start by creating a giant slide leading from the bed, to a pool of balls below. Every kid loves a slide.

Someone from IPS should confirm my interpretation but you only need to create new forums where you want different experts. Experts are assigned to forums. Different forums means you can assign different experts. If you plan on having the same set of community experts, then you can build your forums any way you want. If you plan on having community experts that specialize in different areas (eg. Product support vs ideation), then you will need at least two separate boards.

Marc Stridgen Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 Yes, it will indeed assign experts based on forums, so that its showing experts only in that particular forum. So if you wanted to split this up, thats the way you would do it. Although, to be honest, I would suggest splitting forums up by area regardless of that feature, as that is essentially the idea of being able to create multiple forums. It would be worth having a read of this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
