Posting a message to a discussion thread 

For a detailed explanation of discussion threads, see “Working in 
collaboration through discussions” on page 135. 

Creating Web content 

To create Web content on the Qube 2, see “Developing Web pages” on 
page 38. 

Working in collaboration through discussions 

Threaded discussions allow groups of individuals to develop and 
document a body of information on a particular topic. The discussion 
feature lets users collaborate without having to meet face-to-face. This 
feature is especially useful for individuals who are geographically 
dispersed or who otherwise find it difficult to meet. 

Another key feature is the self-documenting nature of a threaded 
discussion: users can review postings to understand the who, what and 
why of a particular topic. 

Rules of discussions

Discussions are group-based and are automatically created for each 
group. Only members of a particular group are allowed to participate in 
discussions belonging to that group. These discussions are private; 
individuals outside the group are not allowed to access the group’s 
discussions.

Note:  

The Qube 2 Administrator is automatically a member of 

each group on the Qube 2. 

Description of a discussion thread 

When you join a discussion thread or start a new discussion, a separate 
browser window opens. The title bar of the new browser window 
displays “Discussion Group - <groupname>”. The discussion group 
window contains three frames:

•

The top frame holds the command buttons and the column 
headings. 

•

The middle frame displays the messages (if any) as hypertext links 
in a “nested” arrangement (replies are indented from the original 
message). 

•

The bottom frame displays the message of the highlighted message.
