AI Thread Summary
Creating new forums in the Physics Forums app is not possible; only forum administrators can do that. Users can create threads and posts once logged in, with specific steps provided for both actions. To create a new thread, navigate to the desired forum and click on the pencil icon, while posting in an existing thread involves using the 'Quick reply' option. Some users expressed difficulty in using the app and requested tutorials, indicating a need for clearer guidance.

Is it possible to create forums in physics forums app or is it meant only to read posts?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
You can create threads and posts, but not forums.

Nope!
 
Can anyone give me some step-by-step tutorial?Please:)
 
I moved the thread to "Feedback and Announcements".
Only forum administrators (=Greg) can create new forums. No idea how to make posts with the app, but I know it is possible because many users use that function.

I use the app on my Android tablet. Ensuring you are logged in -
-> to create a new thread in a forum: go to the intended forum and click on the pencil at the top. that will display a new page where you enter the title, and content of the first post, of the thread.
->to post in an existing thread: in the thread there will be an arrow pointing to the right (at the bottom of the page: it will have the text 'Quick reply' on the left hand side). Click on that and type the content of your post.

I have no clue how to do print screens on my Samsung tablet otherwise I would have posted those, indicating on the images what to click.

Hope this helps!
