Forums

Overview

Forums will add the ability to have discussions about a competition. Forums are typically used to communicate with competition admins about issues with submissions, but are also great for guides, community teamwork, and brainstorming.

• Should failed submissions link to forums, if forums enabled for competition?
• Do we want a tagging system to differentiate between "Troubleshooting", "Guide", "Discussions", ect.
• Notification System
  • Users
    • In created threads
    • Threads they have posted in
    • All or just popular threads for competitions they are apart of?
