HT Discussion Software Find past Editors' Choice recipients and other award-winning products in other categories in our Editors' Choice Gallery . Editors' Choice Expressions Interaction Suite 3.0 Web administrators need to be of two minds when shopping for a discussion server. Of course they want a product that's easy to set up and administer, with a broad array of management tools. But they also need to consider a package that's customizable, with features and functionality that will make users want to come back time and time again.
Expressions has a wizards-based setup and rich message management.
The product's ability to add rotating banners and ads and to conduct Web tours of other sites is unique. Though it lacks Expressions' slick user interface and filtering capability, and it requires an HTML maven to customize, the product is inexpensive and easy to set up. Management tools are extensive, headlined by peerless archiving capability.
