I wish to run a structured forum where the major topics are locked down so as to avoid the same thing being raised in multiple places. Hence I wish to be able to upload all my topics under a category from a spreadsheet upload, eg 1 per every one of my products in the online store - which means all visitors get the ability to track all comments about the same thing against the same thread.
I will of course have a members free for all thread or somewhere they can request new 'official' topics, but an efficient way to get started and continue to maintain and add to the list of topics would be greatly appreciated
