Create forum posts
A forum post is a user-submitted message enclosed into a block containing the user's details and the date and time it was submitted. Members are allowed to edit or delete their own posts. Posts are contained in forum threads, where they appear as boxes one after another. The first post starts the thread; this may be called the OP (original post). Posts that follow in the thread are meant to continue discussion about that post, or respond to other replies; it isn't uncommon for discussions to be derailed.
