Differences between forums and subforums

Alicemirror

Hi,

I read that dinosaur breeder can became moderator of a sub-forum. What is exactly a sub-forum? I have always seen and used posts in the forum section...

Thanks.

To my understanding, a subforum is a specific channel like this "Beta Testing" or the "General and Desktop". The forum is the whole of all channels.

Thank you Andre, it was not obvious. I have always considered the subforums like forums ...

Cheers.

We usually use the term "Forum" to point to specific subforum when we're in a forum thread. "The forums" and "subforums" make more sense in the context of the whole DevNet website. Confusing, no? :-)

Thank you Volker, now it's all clear :)

... I am dinosaur breeder by few days so I have not yet understand perfectly how to help this great beasts :D

But is something that I should eventually ask or I will be "recruited" to moderate some subforum when needed ?

If you feel the need to help moderate a forum, then you should contact Alexandra.
