• Manage and moderate the forum without republishing.
If you're on the move or working remotely, you can always monitor
and update this managed content by using Serif Web Resources. A
republish of your website is not necessary.
Inserting a forum
A forum can be added to the page like any other object, although you
have the option to present the forum in a full-size window as an offsite
link instead.
The forum has to be connected to a Site Membership Manager on
creation. The Manager is site-specific and acts as both a "hub" to store
Smart Objects such as forums and provides user access control to your
forum. You manage your Site Membership Manager in Serif Web
Resources.
To insert a forum (on a page):
1. From the Quick Build tab (Smart Objects category), click
Forum.
2. Drag the
cursor across your page to define the size of
your forum region.
3. If you don't have a Serif Web Resources account (or are logged
out), you'll get the Serif Web Resources login dialog. To sign
up, click Create Account under the New User? section.

If you're an existing user and are already logged in, you'll get a
Site Membership Managers dialog.
