Let see here...
The basic description of a forum is:
fo·rum/?fôr?m/Noun
1. A meeting or medium where ideas and views on a particular topics can be exchanged.
2. An Internet message board.
The RCSparks Forum is laid out into "Categories", "Threads", and "Posts"
A) Here is an Example of what the forum looks like when you first arrive. (Minus the Yellow Lines)

The Yellow Highlighted area I did for you in this tutorial to show how the Forum is categorized.
Categories on the left hand side. These are important to keep an order to where people can share relevant information.
The "Last Post" on the Right hand side, is the Last Message that has been left in that particular Category. the last post will also show the Date and Time of the message.
B) Now, if you were to select a Category, because you want to read, or add information - you simply CLICK THE Category Title.
C) When you click the title of the category - it will open all of the "Threads" (another word for "Topics") threads are the list of Topics available in that particular Category. here is an example of what the list of Threads will look like

In this list you will notice different ICONS on the Left Hand Side.
The Icons depict what has been occurring with the threads (topics)
Some common icons are "Red='s HOT TOPIC", "Yellow='s Moved Topic/ re-categorized", and "Grey ='s New Thread"
Also, you can see in the above picture.. How many times a Thread has been read, responded to , and the Last Reply in that Thread
