Create forum threads

        ForumThread thread = forumsManager.CreateThread();

        thread.Title = threadTitle;
        thread.UrlName = Regex.Replace(threadTitle.ToLower(), @"[^\w\-\!\$\'\(\)\=\@\d_]+", "-");
        thread.Forum = forumsManager.GetForum(forumId);
        thread.LastModified = DateTime.UtcNow;

        thread.IsPublished = true;

        forumsManager.RecompileItemUrls<ForumThread>(thread);

        forumsManager.SaveChanges();
    }
}

## Creating a thread with a first post
 
To create a thread with a first post, you must perform the following:

1. Get an instance of the manager.  
    Get instance of the `ForumsManager` object.
2. Create a new thread.  
    To create a new thread, call the `CreateThreadWithPost` method of the manager and pass the instance of the forum, the title of the thread and the contents of the post as arguments. This method handles the creating of a thread and a post in it.
3. Save the changes.  
    Save the changes to the manager.

Here is a code example:      ```C#
using System;
using Telerik.Sitefinity.Forums;
using Telerik.Sitefinity.Forums.Model;

namespace Telerik.Sitefinity.Documentation.CodeSnippets.DevGuide.SitefinityEssentials.Modules.Forums.Threads
{
    public partial class ForumThreadsSnippets
    {
        public static void CreateThreadWithFirstPost(string threadTitle, string postContent, Guid forumId)
        {
            ForumsManager forumsManager = ForumsManager.GetManager();

            var forum = forumsManager.GetForum(forumId);

            ForumThread thread = forumsManager.CreateThreadWithPost(forum, threadTitle, postContent);
            forumsManager.RecompileItemUrls(thread);
            forumsManager.SaveChanges();
        }
    }
}
