======About SCP Forums======
The SCP Portal template includes an optional Forum or Discussion Board. Just like Internet forums, the Discussion Boards are an area where [[Members Members]] can have 'conversations' in the form of posted messages.
===**Forum Access**===
[[Access Access]] to the SCP Forums is managed using [[MemberGroups Member Groups]]. To have access to the portal forum, a Member must be associated with a Member Group which has been granted access to the forum. This permission can be reviewed in the [[MemberGroupsGrid Member Groups Grid]] on the Account Properties screen.
The SCP Forums do not allow anonymous entries. If you wish to participate you need to register and then subsequently log-in in order to post messages. You do not have to log-in to read existing messages. All messages need to be approved by a forum moderator before they are published.
===**Moderation**===
The [[Accounts Account Owner]] and [[Account Administrators Administrator]] are likely to be the Moderators of the forum. This requires a separate password, which is set when the [[PortalForumAdd forum is created]] on the Portal Properties Screen. The Moderator will set the forum topics against which the 'discussion threads' of messages are posted.
===**Forum Support**===
The fastest growing forum on the SCP servers is the [[http://www.secure-portal.co.uk/forums/ SCP Support Forum]]. This forum is common to all accounts and provides a valuable opportunity to tap the knowledge of the community of SCP users. Should you have a question about how to do something on your portal, or why something happens that you did not expect, please post it on the Support Forum.

======About Portals======
Portals are, as the term suggests, a gateway... a gateway to the content that you publish there. This much might be said of everything on the Internet, but there are two key features of Portals that distinguish them from custom websites and on-line databases: 'look & feel' and 'access control'.
===**Look & Feel**===
The pages of portals have a consistent presentation, style and format. All the pages have the same 'look & feel', as if they came from the same source. In reality, however, the content has been generated by multiple authors with different levels of technical expertise and using different software tools.
Consistency in SCP portals is enforced by the [[PortalTemplateChange design template]] that the [[Accounts Account Owner]] or [[AccountAdministrators Administrator]] has chosen. The template determines the layout, colours and fonts of each portal page. Using templates eliminates the need to sub-edit colleagues' work so that it //looks// like yours. You will still need to check that your editorial standards are being upheld, but you will not need to worry about how it is going to look on the screen. And if you think that your portal needs a make-over and re-launch, templates can be changed at any time without any loss of data.
===**Access Control**===
The other key feature of portals is the way that they manage [[Access access]] to the content. Portals present the user with only the pages that they have be granted access to see. Portal security manages access at all levels: it determines whether you can enter (log-in) the portal at all, and how far you explore its contents.
The SCP manages Access through [[MemberGroups Member Groups]]. Groups are associated with content, and Guests (or [[Members Members]]) are associated with Groups. If you belong to the group that been given access to a page, you can see that page. If not, you can't. Maintaining access groups is easier than managing individual Members. Changing permission to pages and attachments takes a few clicks. This is particularly useful if you clone your portal for a new audience and need to disassociate the old audience from the new portal.
