The default user interface allows Web users read-only access to forums. The lack of a single, unified setup wizard made installing the various components confusing. The administration tools are convoluted to use, though they are granular. Numerous menus of configuration options warrant better organization, and an automated message expiration feature can only delete outdated messages, not archive them.
Administrative controls are average.
You can permit users to register for forums automatically, and you can configure a forum as public, private, or moderated. There is no filtering. Creating forums is simple. To publish a discussion on the Web, simply drag and drop the forum icon onto the Internet folder. Customization requires editing the HTML templates.
