The TV, Internet, and Phone forums contain posts related to those Cox services. The General Forum is used for discussions not related to a specific Cox service. Most posts are topics customers create. When a new post is created, it is made viewable to all forum members. Cox Administrators create posts that include important announcements. You or any forum member can respond to these. Posts that have the most responses will be shown under Popular Posts.
Understanding a Forum Main Page
When you access a forum, its main page displays.
A forum main page contains posted discussion topics. From a forum main page, you have the following options.
- Open and read a post
- Sort the posts in the post list
- Filter the post list
- Search posts and replies
- Create a new post
Post List
When you access a forum, you are presented with a list all posted topics in that forum. By default, the posts are listed from newest, meaning most recently replied to, to oldest, or last replied to. The post list is comprised of the following three fields.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Post | Contains the title of the post. Click the title to view the post and any replies to it. |
| Date | Contains the date of the last post reply and the name of the user who wrote the reply. If there are no replies, this field contains the date the topic was created and the forum name of the person who created it. |
| Replies | Lists the number of replies the post has received. |
Sorting the Post List
By default, the topic of discussions with the most recent creation date and time, and the discussions that have recently been responded to, are displayed at the top of the post list.
You can sort the post list using the list headers. For example, click Replies to place the posts with the least amount of replies at the top of the post list. Click Replies again to place the posts with the most replies at the top of the list.
You can filter the posts in the post list by clicking the tabs at the top of the list. The following table describes these tabs.
| Tab | Types of Posts |
|---|---|
| Questions | All posts that have been created for the forum |
| Unanswered | Only posts that contain no replies |
| Answered | Only posts with replies |
| Unread | Posts that you have not yet opened or accessed |
| My Discussions | All posts that you have created or replied to |
