Hi
I have installed Oxwall and played with its various parts. But I cannot figure out how to add a new forum type; at the moment, the only forum type seems to be called "GENERAL CHAT". That is, when I want to create a new topic, it asks for the type of forum to add the topic to, but it only includes "general chat".
Even right now, when I writing this question, I can see in this Oxwall site that I can choose the forum to which this topic is added. Among the options I can see are "General Questions", "Bug reports and troubleshooting", "Oxwall store", etc. But in my site, I can only see "General Chat".
Thanks for your hints.

Hi,
Welcome to Oxwall :)
Go to forum click on customize this page and then you can add a new section in there.
Hope that helps :)

Dave, I can now add a forum to a section, but I cannot yet add a section. Am I missing your points?

When in the customize mode. When you click on add new forum a box pops up with.
1. Forum Name
2. Section
3. Description
A.You can add a forum by typing it into the "Forum Name" box.
B. You can list it under a section in the list you create in the "Section" box, or create a new section by typing it there.
C. Add a description for the forum in the "Description" box.

By a section, I mean a something line "Support" section and "Community Exchange" section as the first two sections in the Oxwall site.
And by a forum, I mean "General Questions" and "Bug reports and troubleshooting" as the first two forums under the "Support" section in the Oxwall site.
Now, I know how to add a new topic in a forum. I also know how to use the "customize this page" as you mentioned to add a new forum to a section. But, how can we add a new section?
Thanks very much.

Here is a screenshot where I created a Forum called "Test" with a description of "Just a test section". I typed in the section name of "Test Section" to create a new section.
I then went back in and created another forum called "Another Test", and gave it a description of "Another test forum". I selected the "Test Section" I created from the dropdown list in the "Section" field, and clicked "add forum"
I then went back in and created another forum called "Another Test", and gave it a description of "Another test forum". I selected the "Test Section" I created from the dropdown list in the "Section" field, and clicked "add forum"

Sure, thanks. I have a question regarding android apps, but because it is different from previous discussion, I now create a new topic for it. Thanks.
