21 After opening a forum course element, you will see the **topics overview**, i. e. a **tabular overview of all existing forum topics**. This table contains the following information:
22
23 * Topic** title**
24 * Topic** author**
25 * Information on the **last post** within a topic
26 * **Total number of replies** as well as **marked** and **new **(unread)** **posts.
27
28 The entries in the table are automatically sorted in chronological order with the most recent post at the top. Alternatively, you can choose a different sorting by clicking on the column header, which will then be saved for this forum.

30 Icons are used to indicate the **topic type**.
