Forum Discussion
Trying to create a user forum on a SharePoint Online site
The functionality within SharePoint that would cater for this is I believe called a Discussion Board but note that I don't think it works in Modern SP (credit to Rob for confirming this below). It really would depend on what version of SharePoint you're using as to whether this was available. An older thread is available within these forums that discusses this very topic, which you can access here.
Depending on how you're building the blog, a Yammer webpart might meet your aims better than the legacy discussion forum.
A video that looks useful for the discussion board can be https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K00wFH8-q8E.
Steven Andrews Sorry for not posting more about my environment in my original question; still very much a SP novice. If I'm not mistaken, I'm using Sharepoint Online Modern and I believe Yammer will work for my needs. I'll play with that and see how it goes.
Thanks all for the feedback and information!!
- No problem and do let us know how it goes. Some wise heads meander around these parts. Good luck.
