There are various encyclopedia forums on the Internet. Forums exist to facilitate communication between people, so they definitely need to publish content, but not everyone can publish content. Otherwise, they need to log in. Forums are not allowed to be posted. If there is a forum, there must be posts in it. Others can leave messages and reply to our posts. So the forum functions we will teach you in this tutorial are,

• Forum section homepage

• Post forum section
  

• Post forum section

• Post details section

• Reply post section

• User registration login section
