For users who prefer to participate through a browser but want to know about new messages without logging on, WebBoard can send email notification of conferences with new messages once a day. The built-in SMTP mail server handles the incoming mail for WebBoard s mailing list feature. WebBoard requires an external SMTP server for handling outgoing mail. Searches can be limited by conference or date, or sorted in a variety of ways including by weight. Full-text searches make finding specific information even faster.
Registered users can read and post messages through their newsreaders.
For those who frequent newsgroups, this makes participating in WebBoard conferences comfortable and familiar. Users can page other logged in users, send private messages or invite the user to join a chat. The WebBoard administrator can broadcast a message to logged in users on all boards, for example, to warn of an impending system shut down. Board managers can broadcast to their board users. Inc.
