Discussion+Tutorial

=What are discussion pages?= A discussion page is a forum where people can post and respond to messages. Each page on Wikispaces has its own discussion page. On a discussion page, you can start a new topic or you can participate in an existing one. For each discussion topic, you can see its author, how many people have viewed or replied to the message, and when the last reply was. To go to the discussion page, click on the "discussion" tab at the top of your wiki page. =How do I start a discussion topic?= To post a new discussion topic: To respond to a previous discussion topic:
 * 1) Go to the "discussion" tab at the top of the page you'd like to post on.
 * 2) Put in a subject and begin composing your message.

To learn more about this, see our notification help section.

You can sort discussion topics based on Subject, Author, Replies, Views, or the Last Message Posted. To do so, go to your "discussion" tab. At the top of the current discussions, there will be the five headings. Click on one and the messages will be sorted appropriately. You can also search for keywords of a discussion. Each discussion area has its own keyword search filter which allows you to search through previous discussion topics for specific words or phrases. Enter your search word(s) and press Enter. =Can I delete a discussion post?= As an organizer of a space, you can delete an entire discussion topic or an individual post within that topic. To do so, click on the discussion you wish to delete. You will see an option "delete topic" at the top of that page to either delete that entire discussion topic or an option to "delete" just a particular discussion post. =How do I add images, videos, or other content to a discussion?= In order to add images, media, or to format your discussion posts, you will need to use wikitext in your posts. =Who can post discussion messages on my space?=
