Customizable: The discussion forum can use almost any color combination, include unique images and logos, and can generally match the look of customer's Web sites.
No Programming: Messages can be created without any knowledge of HTML.
Secure: The discussion forum can be set up so only approved users may access it. This feature provides users with the option to request a user name and password if they want to participate in discussions that require authentication of their identity. It also provides the person monitoring the discussion with the power to accept or to deny the request for access.
Discussion Threads: Discussions can be pre-defined or can be created by users. Main topics within each thread are grouped with their replies so that an entire conversation can be viewed separately from others.
Remotely Hosted: The discussion forum is kept on our server. This means no software installation; no maintenance; and automatic, daily backup.
Subdomain: The discussion forum can be set up so it may be accessed using the customer's domain name. For instance, the Web address would look like this: http://forum.yourdomain.org.
