  I am setting up a forum using P2. Can someone please help me to understand the differences in posting options? “Blog Post” makes sense because it adds a Title input (should be default). But I don’t understand why the others are included … “Status Update”, “Quote”, “Link”.

  Thank you,
  Keith

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  “Status Update”, “Quote”, “Link”

  These refer to different types of Post Formats. You can read more about post formats here:

  Post Formats

  For example, if you post a quotation, it will be displayed a little bit differently. Try experimenting with the different post formats to see how they look.
