Forum Settings

To navigate to the Forum Settings page, use the following steps:

1. Click Site Actions, and then click Site Settings.
2. On the Site Settings page, under Social Squared Forum, click Forum Settings.
   

Use the Forum Settings page to configure the overall settings for any forum that is stored in the Social Squared database that the site is connected to. Therefore the configuration settings on this page need only be configured once for each Social Squared database, and not for each site that you connect to a Social Squared database.

Specifically you can configure:

• Specify terms and conditions, a relative URL, which is used when forums are not at the root of a Web Application; the number of topics and pages to be displayed per page.
• RSS
• Page Title: Specify words to be appended to the HTML page title
• Specify maximum upload file size and allowed file types
• Specify the voting icon to use. The choices are either Arrow or Thumb
• Allow Forms Based Authentication (FBA) registration, and enable Captcha in FBA registration.
• Enable Social Squared integrated search, sorting, post numbering, private messaging, original poster and moderator highlighting, chat,
• Enable tagging, specify the tag delimiter and allow both enterprise and term stores.
• Configure Profile Settings
• Enable reply via email for either or both, POP3 and Exchange Web Services
• Configure Reputation Scores

!You will need to be a Social Squared administrator to configure Forum Settings.
