What is a forum?
A forum is a group of people who gathers together for discussions or exchanging point of views. Typically forums form on the basis of topics and common interests.
An internet forum is an online version of a typical real life form. Basically it’s a discussion site that allows people to discuss or exchange views on the related topic. Internet forum is also called “Bulletin Board” or “Message Boards” or “Discussion Group” and “Web Forum”.
Internet forums are different from chat rooms and blogs. Chat room allows people to chat at the same time and blogs usually allows only selected authors to write any post. A forum allows all members to post or create posts. A forum also keeps all the discussion for anyone to view in any later date and members can post a reply to any post.
A forum is also different from social networking sites like Facebook or twitter. Social media only allows visitors to see post only posted by their friend or friend's friend. But anyone can see any post in the forum and could take part in the discussions too.
Forums are a good source of relevant traffic or visitor to web sites. Every forum has their own set of rules for their members and only members are allowed to post. There are four types of forums that could be found on the net.
Types of Forum:
1. Private Forum (Only members can see the posts and threads)
2. Public Forum (Anyone can see but only members can post)
3. Paid Forum (You have to pay a fee to become a member)
4. Free Forum (It’s free to become a member, could be both private type or public type)
I hope you’ve got an understanding about online forum. But if you feel that you need to know a bit more they you can try this

How to register on a forum?
Registering on a forum is very easy. I hope that you’ve registered for Facebook or twitter, forum has the same system for registration. Though most of them uses this system but some of the forum requires payment to get registered (paid forums).
Just find the Register link on the home page, usually every forum site has one. Click the link and follow the instructions, that’s it.
How to edit profile on a forum?
After the registration process has completed just come back and log in using your username and password. Then just look for the “edit your profile button” , follow the link and you’ll see all the options to edit your profile. Fill all the required information and then click save. You’re done.
If you can’t find “edit your profile” button then you can use “user CP” button. User CP means user control panel. From there you can edit your personal info including “forum signature”.

What is a
forum signature link?
Forums allow its member to use links in any post they submit. These links appear automatically every time a user posts , these links are called “Signature”. These signatures are a way of promoting a product or a site. Mostly to attract new business, forum owners let people use a link at the bottom of a post. And a lot of members find it very interesting,useful and attractive to use a link of their site or product they promote. This is also a very popular way of building back-links.
Forum signature puts a link automatically every time a post is made by a member. But the signature has to be activated first before it could be applied.
Forum uses a different sort of tags or code or language, used just as html. This sort of coding is called BB Code and they are widely used in forums for better performance. You can see in the image here a set of BB Code. For more information on BB Code you can go

How to apply
signature link?
A lot of people find it difficult editing links in
forum signature. I’ve also faced some difficulties in my early days, but let me tell you it is not difficult at all. When you know where to look for then it becomes really easy to edit the signature link.
Usually the signature link editing options could be found in your User CP. Just follow the link and you’ll find an option to edit your signature. Remember to use BB Code instead of HTML tags in signatures.
Normally most of the forums allow their members to use anchor text linking in the signature. But the recent Penguin update from the major search engine Google imposed a penalty in SERP for the excessive use of “Anchor Text”. So use this option intelligently.
How to create new threads in a forum?
Sometimes you’ll need to create new threads in forum. But for the newbies it’s confusing and most of the newbies fail to create a new post. Creating a new post is as easy as posting a reply. The difficult part is how to make the threads attractive and how to implement keywords in the thread property. This is a large topic to cover in this short space. I’ll create a new post covering this topic.
To create a new post, you’ll have to find the “create new thread” button. Just look for the button and I’m sure you’ll find it there. Just follow the link and follow the instruction. Submit newly created post and you’re done. I’ve added an image here for better understanding.
