Folders

You must be logged in and have owner or admin powers in order to work with Folders.

Folders in a Yuku community hold one or more forums. Typically a folder is used to hold a group of forums that have similar subjects like "Cars" and "Corvette".

Typical Message board Folders

In your community you can have as many folders as you like and in each folder you can have as many forums as you like. You may find though, that carefully naming folders and limiting the number of folders on your community will make it easier for your users to find the right discussion for them.


Hiding and Showing Folders

To hide/show folders: Click the "[hide]"/"[show]" link on the right side of a folder's title area to hide or show the forums in that folder.

Please be aware that your hide/show settings are changed immediately upon clicking the "[hide]"/"[show]" links.
