Structure
The Lee Forum has a hierarchical structure.

At the top level are categories of which we have several: village forums, HS2 plus one each for residents and non-residents of the parish. The major difference between the categories is who can see the posts within them – for example, whilst most members of the forum can see everything in the Village Forums category, only those living within the parish will see details of planning applications.
Below categories are forums – rather than a single forum with lots of topics, there are several each with a different focus. For example, within the village forums category, there are forums for Wanted and For Sale, Lost and Found etc.. There are two reasons for this:
- users will be able to choose to receive notification emails for some forums and not others, reducing the amount of mail for subjects in which they aren’t so interested
- it will be simpler to browse to find an old post on a particular subject
Within each forum are topics: these are the different subject threads that users want to discuss.
Finally within each topic are replies
In some parts of the User Guide, topics and replies are generically referred to as posts.
