New Discussion or Edit Discussion

You can set or change the name and description of a discussion, view moderators, and close a discussion once it has been resolved.

To create or edit a discussion:

1. In the Name text box, type no more than 100 characters to name the discussion.
   
2. In the Description text box, you can optionally type no more than 1,000 characters to describe the discussion.
   
3. Next to Moderators, you see the names of any moderators for this discussion. You cannot change the moderators. Messages posted in moderated discussions do not appear to users in Discussions unless approved by the moderator. Moderators, however, can see these unapproved messages marked in red. The moderator will also receive e-mail notifications when messages are created.
   
4. If you are editing a discussion:
   
   1. In the Discussion Status drop-down list, select the desired status. To end the discussion, select Closed. To reopen a closed discussion, select Open.
      
   2. In the Discussion Resolution text box, when you end a discussion, you can optionally write a summary of the resolution. This setting is not available when you are creating a new discussion.
      
5. When you are done, click Finish.
