How To Add New Discussion Board To Your Facebook Fan Page

Facebook brings different changes from time to time. The recent change of profile to Timeline is one such example of creating changes to the platform. One more similar kind of change for Facebook users, specially page owners is the removal of “discussions” feature which acted as a forum or a discussion board.

However, If you want to add a discussion board to your Facebook page, then here is a nice app that will come in handy.

Forum for Pages is a Facebook app which can add discussion to pages and it can be easily installed to a fan page. This app is also available in many different languages and has been recently optimized for use with the Timeline.

Installing this app is also a piece of cake. You don’t need to be a programmer to do this task, as all you need to do is to just install this app and follow the on-screen instructions.

Users of page can start creating new topics with text formatting as per their wish. Media (images and videos) can also be inserted in the discussion as long as it is available online. Embedding images and videos can be done by just inserting the link in your post.

This app uses Facebook’s Open Graph which means if you reply to a post on a forum, it will appear in your activity list. Not everyone will like this behavior but a user can always hide this app from activity list.

There is also a premium version of this app which provides more features compared to the free version. Try out this useful app from below link.
