Need to create a forum in confluence

[Lance Gaunt]

We are rolling out some changes to some workflows and we need a forum where people can ask / answer questions freely and quickly.  Does this facility exist in confluence?

Hi @Lance Gaunt and welcome to the community,

Out of the box, no there isn't. But you can search the marketplace for an app which does that exactly. Do so here: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?hosting=cloud&product=confluence&query=forum

Thanks for the response.  I followed the link, found something and I actually ended up on this page - which looks like a solution itself!  Do you know what they use for this page?

It is essentially the page we are using for this Q&A.  Is this an available macro?

@Lance Gaunt the link you found is for an app called Community Forums by Adaptavist https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1211273/community-forums-for-confluence?tab=overview&hosting=cloud

[Lance Gaunt]

Yes, but it has no tags :(.  This page that we are using for this conversation looks like what I need.

You mean what they use for the page in the community?? 

[Lance Gaunt]

Yes - https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/qa-p/confluence-questions

This community is built on Khoros, but there is a lot of custom work behind it to look like this and to have the functionalities it currently has.
