You can find the Discussion Board Group within your online classroom platform, usually under the "Course Tools" or "Student Resources" section. You can post questions there related to the Discussion Boards or any other classroom issues, and your classmates or instructors can help provide answers and support.
Discussion areas here are for discussing how to answer a question, or why a particular change was made to an answer, its question, or its topic. Discussion areas get added to your watchlist automatically when you add its related question to your watchlist, and vice versa. The personal message boards, on the other hand, are for more personal messages, such as a "thank you" for a contribution or a question that isn't of general interest. The message boards can be watched without watching your bio.

Feedback can always be helpful if you know the knowledge or expertise of the contributor. You can't always know that from discussion boards like you can about people you know. When you get feedback from discussion boards, you need to have the ability to differentiate the good from the bad, the helpful from the junk.
To make plaster boards
Purpose of the Message Boards WikiAnswers has two forms of message boards: 1) Question discussion boards, and 2) Personal message boards. The role of question discussion boards is fairly clear to regular users of the site. Sometimes you need to discuss how a question should be answered, or ask for clarification about what the question is asking, etc. It's very handy to have a space for this separate from the answer space, which is not intended to be interactive.Personal message boardsThe role of the personal message boards is more fuzzy. It's a softer community reason. We want to enable WikiAnswer contributors to discuss anything they want to discuss with each other (as opposed to the question discussion board, which is merely for discussing one specific Q&A). A personal board can be used for pretty much anything. Maybe you want to thank a person for all their great answers, or ask them about themselves, etc. It's the most (only!) free-form space for users of this site.
