The latest news on The Forums is that we're working on version 3!  The changes are absolutely night and day.  You think you're happy with the customization and abilities of The Forums right now?  Just wait until you see the new version!  We finally have the skins working great (way cool), and the biggest change in version 3 is the ability to set up user accounts with total control of those from many levels.  You can have full-control sub-ops and designate control of certain areas.  It's great! 

We are now offering The Forums free setup and support for not-for-profit groups and organizations as well as community and civic groups.  Just e-mail to let us know how we can help you.


The Forums is an easily customized bulletin board style message system.

It features several popular functions, such as a stout and robust directory system to keep all your messages organized in the best way.  It also features private messages, sent as "pages" from user to user.  Also included is a nicely laid out administration control panel featuring several ways you can customize and control your forums.  Featuring a modified version of BBCode called CCCode, your users can add HTML-like additions to their messages for formatting and linking and such with ease.  Also included is the ability to set up SubOps, so you can let your users take control of their directories and distribute the labor, so they can have a sense of ownership and you don't have to spend all your time maintaining their directories.  You will also find several statistics are at your fingertips, so you can keep an eye on just what's happening with your forums.

Just added is the ability for your users to get the five most recent posts in an RSS feed!  Also implemented is functionality with Mozilla's Live Bookmarks function.  This as well as many other options, is easily selectable via the main control panel.

As of v3.0, we're also adding future compatibility for Mozilla's release of Firefox 2.0!  Several functions have already been added and more are on the way!

With this easily added and almost fool-proof setup system, everyone can find the excitement of interacting with the public!

Now with our newly added "Auto Update" feature you can make sure that once you've started running your forums, your copy of the software will always stay maintained to the highest level.  No more searching for updates, once a day your software will automatically check for updates, download, and auto-install when they're available!  It doesn't get any easier than that!
