The difference
What matters in this module
- A post and a thread are one thingThe tree emerges from nesting. That is why a reply can be moved under another topic or turned into a topic of its own — you just change its parent.
- Who may post is decided by rolesA forum for signed-in users only, for paying members only, or for anyone — one setting, not a different module.
- Moderation happens in one placeComments under articles and forum posts are approved in the same overview.
