Utilities: List Settings: Discussion Forum Interface: Conference

These settings determine how members may access the conference feature of the discussion forum interface. The conference feature allows users to chat with one another using the ListManager discussion forum interface in real time, and optionally send the discussion to the list.

Accessibility

Determines whether or not the conference feature is available.

By default, everyone may read messages posted to a list's conference, including visitors (non-members) if your list is set to allow them. If Allow Visitors to Read Archives is set to No (in Utilities: List Settings: Discussion Forum Interface: Message Reading), only list members will be able to access the list's conference.

To limit access to list members, change this setting to Members Only. If visitors have been enabled, they will still be able to access your list's archives in the discussion forum interface.

To disable all access to this list's conference, select Disable Conference.

Posting

Determines who is allowed to post to the conference, if it has been made available by the Accessibility setting.

By default, everyone may post messages to a list's conference, including visitors (non-members) if your list is set to allow them. If Allow Visitors to Read Archives is set to No (in Utilities: List Settings: Discussion Forum Interface: Message Reading), only list members will be able to post to the list's conference.,

To limit posting to list members, change this setting to Members Only. To limit posting to list administrators, select Admins Only.

Save Posts For

By default, posts are saved for one day. You may change how long posts are saved (from one hour to 14 days) here.
