Creating a SharePoint Discussion Board
The default discussion board called Team Discussion is created when you install MOSS 2007. If you need only a single discussion board, you can use the default board right away.
Using the Default Discussion Board
On your site, you can access the default discussion board by performing one of the following actions:
On Quick Launch, click Team Discussion, as shown in Figure 11-1.
Click View All Site Content and then click Team Discussion.
To change the default name for the board, click Settings and select Discussion Board Settings from the menu, as in Figure 11-2.
Under General Settings, click "Title, description and navigation," then modify the title and description fields with the desired content, as illustrated in Figure 11-3.
Click Save to exit the General Settings page, and then click the new name of the discussion board to return to the board.
When you return to your site's main page, you'll see links to both the default Team Discussion list and the new list in Quick Launch if you set them up to appear there.
