-====== Discussion groups ======
+====== Discussion threads ======
+Within book clubs and communities you'll find the ability to participate in discussions. There will be a discussion thread box on the page like this:
-This feature allows you to discuss anything - some book, video, popular topic or anything else.
+{{:connections:functionality:dt_view.png|}}
+It shows the various discussion threads created, and you can click through to each to read them and post your own comments.
+===== Creating a new thread =====
+In the discussion threads box you'll see the usual Connections 'add' icon, which you should click to create a new thread. Enter the title of the discussion thread when prompted by the pop-up:
+{{:connections:functionality:bc_new_thread.png?nolink|}}
+When you've entered the title and created the thread, you'll be taken to the thread itself to post the first message.
+===== Viewing and posting in a thread =====
+Once you have opened a discussion thread, you can read all the posts within it, or add a new message by entering it in the text box at the bottom:
+{{:connections:functionality:dt-viewandadd.png|}}
+===== Following discussion threads =====
+As part of a book club or community, you automatically follow discussion threads when joining that club/community. Therefore when new threads are created, or users post in threads, you'll see alerts in your 'My Following' box:
