Setting up and Launching Forums with Website Tonight
With Website Tonight®, you can add a discussion forum to your website to allow visitors to add discussions to categories and post comments in discussion threads. When you add a forum to your website, it counts against the number of pages your Website Tonight plan allows. For example, if your Website Tonight plan includes 10 pages, when you add a forum to your Website, you have 9 remaining pages to use when building your website.
