This is a Discussion thread which is the classic form of threads
If you're been running a forum for some time, you probably have your node tree organised in such a way that you have questions, discussions and more all cohabiting in the same forums. In designing the thread and forum types system for XenForo 2.2, we felt it was important to allow you to continue to do this rather than forcing question threads exclusively into question forums and article threads exclusively into article forums, etc.
Therefore, unlike the previous examples, discussion forums can contain threads of multiple different types. A new set of options is available for each forum in your node tree to allow it to contain any thread types you choose, though some of the filtering and sorting benefits of having them live in dedicated forum types will not be available.
When creating a thread in a discussion forum that allows multiple thread types, you just need to pick the type of thread when you're creating it, which will update the thread creation page with the necessary controls.
