There are many features available making your forum seamless to your own site.
This is a great way to offer customer support by hosting your discussion forum on our site.
Many web hosting services offer Matt Wright's WWWBoard installed on your site which
don't contain the many options we offer below.
Customizable - allowing your site name, logo and color scheme
We integrate the same look and feel of your site to the forum.
Your site's name, logo and color scheme can completely blend in with your own site's
format. You can also integrate advertising banners currently on your site to your forum.
And most importantly you'll be able to put your own META TAG description and keywords on
your board for maximum exposure in the search engines.
Offers Password Protected Board via Email Verification
For those wishing to password protect your forum we offer username/password
accessing. This prevents spammers and flamers from trashing your forum and keeps unwanted
email extracting programs from obtaining your visitor's email addresses from the messages.
This protects their privacy while protecting your board from unwanted posters.
Upon registration, email is sent to the the poster's valid email address containing their
username and password, allowing them to view and post on your board.
Customizable Message <TEXTAREA> Box Configuration
Offers word wrapping in the message field. Also allows for sizing of the
message box if you're placing the forum within frames on your site. Messages followups
can retain the original message quote or leave followup message box blank.
Archived Message Keyword Searching Feature
When your forum's subject page becomes too large and you remove messages,
you'll have the ability to save the original message for keyword searching of older
messages that have been removed from the main subject page.
Viewing of Messages Before Posting Feature
Instead of just posting to the forum your visitor will be able to see their
message before adding it to the forum. This allows them to spell check their message and
any other grammatical errors they wish to correct before posting
Viewing of Messages Posted Today Feature
For frequent visitors we offer the ability to view messages recently
posted. As you have seen on other boards, a recently posted message may be difficult to
find because it was a followup from an older message. The View Today's Messages makes it
easier for your visitors to keep current on newly posted messages.
Sends Posted Followups To Message Originator
Whenever someone posts a followup to a message, a copy of the message is sent
to the original poster providing them the URL to go and post a response to the followup.
Sends New Messages To Web Board Administrator
As the administrator of your board, you'll receive a copy of each message
posted allowing you to manage unwanted postings quickly without having to go to your forum
and view unread messages for content.
Customizable Look for Messages Posted
Just as with the subject page, each message can have the same look. This
includes logo inclusion, color scheme, META TAGS, etc.
Offensive Word Detection/Blocking
Nothing is worse than allowing someone to post "offensive" words on your forum.
You can elect to block certain words from being posted. If someone tries to post a word
that you find offensive it will display a CDA screen identifying the word and offering
them to go back and change their wording.
Denying of an ISP Block Feature
In a public forum there's always a bad apple that just keeps coming back over
and over posting trash. Without having to password protect your board you'll be able to
identify the ISP the poster is posting from and block future access to that person's
posting.
Compilation of Articles for Digest Subscription Processing
Not everyone who participates in your forum wants to visit daily. So they can
have the option of having all the messages posted digested into a single email that is
sent to them daily.
Administrative Features allowing many Management Options.
Most importantly, you have complete control of your board. You can opt to
include all or some of the many options available above, such as turning off having a copy
of each message emailed to you, the administrator, or change other options in your own
password protected control panel.
Message Board Management Utility.
Allows you, the administrator, to remove messages from your forum by message
number, date or author. Also allows you change your username and password in accessing
the administrative portions of your forum.
