Website Modules
Discussion board
Bulletin boards, or message boards, are a method of integrating a form of discussion into your website.
They are an easy way of creating communication between your site’s users and, can create a sense of community and keep your users coming back to your site on a regular basis. They are also more flexible than mailing lists as they are searchable, can be moderated, only show topics of interest to the user and are an easy way to inform large numbers of users of news quickly and easily.
Users can
- View information sorted by topic
- Search information by keywords
- Send private messages without giving out their personal details
- See new job vacancies within their organisation highlighted when they access the board - new since their last visit
- Choose personalised themes and colours
