Navigate Forums resources
Describes how to navigate from one Forums resource to another using the resources made available through the API.When you create an application that accesses Forums resources, do not construct URLs to Forums resources; instead write code to follow the links from the user's service document to the user's forums collection, and then to each individual forum.
