Re: Problem in understanding of code of default dnn forum

That is a server control that renders many of the User Interfaces displayed in the module. This works in conjunction with the Posts/Threads/ModuleSearch vb files. In the Forum_Container.ascx.vb code, you can see it sets a variable Scope (maybe ForumScope) that determines which vb code to render (Posts/Threads/ModuleSearch/Groups etc.).
