Heat And Serve FrontPage provides a unique feature called WebBots, which make it easy to create custom applications on your Web server. To create a discussion group with the WebBot, you must choose to add a new Web and select the Discussion Web Wizard. Then you configure the Discussion WebBot parameters, including the name of the discussion and its location on the server. In the main view of a discussion you see all posts, with responses indented below. After the page is saved and activated, other users can participate in the new discussion, create new topics, and respond to messages.
Users have no restrictions on the number of responses to responses in the threaded discussion.
Except for disk space on your Web server, there is also no limit on the number of topics users can begin. But FrontPage gives users no way to modify messages that have been posted, nor does it allow users to attach files to their messages. One of the best aspects of the product is the full-featured FrontPage Editor. Everything you type or insert in a page is automatically converted to HTML in the background, though you also can choose to view the HTML tags. The editor resembles a word processor and includes a formatting toolbar and a spell checker.
