&lt;p&gt;The global Forum &amp;gt; Options &amp;gt; Options page allows you to set forum post properties. You can:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Enable&amp;nbsp;RSS feeds and thread status tracking.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Specify the number of items to display on a feed.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Specify the number of posts to display on a page&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To set the global options:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Mouse over &lt;strong&gt;Management&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Click&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Administration&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Navigate to &lt;b&gt;Applications &amp;gt; Forum &amp;gt; Options&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Set the following properties:
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Enable RSS Feeds for public forums&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;check box-&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;Telligent Community Server generates RSS feeds for all public forums. A public forum is defined as a forum to which Anonymous users (in the Everyone role) have &lt;i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;Read Content&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;permission.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Enable Thread Status Tracking&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;check box - Allows the creator of a post to mark the status as not set, &lt;a href="/support/documentation/w/zimbra-community-8/39269.thread-type-question-and-answer-q-a.aspx"&gt;answered or not answered&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Default Items/Feed&lt;/b&gt; - The number of items returned per feed.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Posts/Page&lt;/b&gt; - The number of posts to display on a page.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Mark New Posts as Read (Days)&lt;/b&gt; - After the elapsed period is exceeded, new posts are marked as read. The result is that the forum will not show a post as unread after this number of days.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0;padding:0;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Click &lt;b&gt;Save&lt;/b&gt; to apply the settings.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
