MESSAGE BOARD / BLOGS
Our message board is a web-based solution for displaying topics for discussion on your website. Using standard message structure (Forums, Topics and Posts) for internet forums.
Our entry-level discussion forum application designed with light to medium traffic load. Most forum applications available today are loaded with so many features and settings, not to mention
high costs, that most site owners just end up doing without discussions on their site. That is why we have designed our message forum to target their needs while still providing a broad feature
set.
The most requested feature was the ability to register members before giving access to the forums. We have added that in 2 ways: Forced Registration, which requires someone to register prior
to being able to post to the forum, and Forced Login, which takes that a step further and requires a login before being able to access the forum at all. Combine these with the ability to verify
a new members email address prior to activation of their account and you can now tailor the amount of control you wish to have over your forum members.
Your forum members now have their own profile area, which allows them to modify their personal information as needed. The profile includes several optional bits of information that they
can provide about themselves, such as their home page, biography, occupation, etc., that is visible on the member page. In addition, there are the optional member signatures and topic subscriptions,
which members may also manage from their profile area.
Also the optional use of moderators, which can have complete control over messages posted to your forums without needing to have access to the admin area. If you want to check posts
before allowing them to be seen on the forum, you can take advantage of the Approve Post function, and you can have your selected moderator receive an email each time a new message requires
approval. From approving posts to editing or deleting posts with questionable material, your moderators receive a complete toolbox for each and every post.
We have also gone back and improved many existing features. For example, the search function, has now been enhanced to be more accurate and much faster. You may search for multiple words
at the same time, look for posts over a given period of time as well as in all or in any specific forum. We have also added the ability to use HTML, in posts so that your forum members
may add a bit of flair to their posts, as well as adding URL's and email addresses, without the risk of using raw HTML.
The admin area for this release has seen dramatic improvement as well, mainly with the move to our frames-based menu system.
Here are a few available options:
- Use HTML
- Show Stats
- Show Moderators
- Track Views
- Number of Topics/Replies Per Page
- Forum wide Date/Time Display
- Allow Subscriptions
- Allow Signatures
- Use of Member Levels
- Allow Save Login
- Check Member Email and many, many more.
