forums vs group

[love2playgames]

Hi 7queen,

I’m kind of lost between creating a group and creating a forums???  I already have several group for people to make comment on, however creating the forums works similar for comments. I tested and try to understand it, but the layout  and some way is different feature wise.

By your expertise, What I like is to have people to input their own story for people to read. can you tell me which one is more appropriate for me to create if I want people to do comments?

Please help to explain the different between the GROUP and FORUMS there own usage.

Thanks

Hello, i would say Forums, because of the idea you have:
Forums:
– More organized topics
– Organized Replies
– Parent forums, category forums
– Easy to understand
– Favorite topics
– Topic subscription
Groups:
– Group members
– Activity can be like a chat
– Different groups for different topics
– Photo and cover image for each group
– Private feature

If you like both you can use Group Forums, is a feature available if you do not have this enabled check out your buddypress settings
This will add a checkbox at your group creation to allow yo to create a forum for that group, so it will be at the group as a new tab

Hi Laura,

Thanks for the information. I was hoping you say forum too. Because I was has been creating a lot of forums… I like the style of it anyway and also most people deal with forum in general for all types of websites.

Buddypress group is not everyone get into for their site! Although the Groups has their own goodies….

Thanks for helping.
P.S. wish the resolved button is down here not on the top. it be easy for us to click the resolved as we submit the button. 🙂 But is all good 🙂
