User View

Users can post public questions so all forum users will be able to view them OR select a specific category to post their question in.

If the user chooses a category, they can then choose to assign the question to an expert.

The Question Form

Note: If a category contains more than one expert, all experts assigned to this category will be able to view this question in their questions folder. The first to accept it will be able to communicate with the user.
