Web Forums

What are Web Forums?

Web forums are one of the most commonly seen methods of communicating online today. They give your company an immediate, interactive online presence and help to involve your customers in the company and promote a sense of community. Because they are on the web, forums are immediately accessible by anyone, anywhere and with no technical knowledge required whatsoever.

Web Forum support in MPNews

All the forums you create in MPNews can be immediately accessed as a web forum with no configuration required. Out of the box, MPNews supports all the common and more advanced web forum features, including posting richly formatted messages, fast full-text search and e-mail alerts when new messages are available.

One of the best ways to see what MPNews web forums look like is to go to our support site, which is running a standard, uncustomized version of MPNews.

Customization

The way the web forums are presented by MPNews is controlled by an ASP.NET website, which is completely customizable and you are free to modify it as you see fit. Various themes are provided with MPNews, and you can add your own or modify the site entirely to make it match your corporate identity or personal taste.

Because the web forums use ASP.NET, the wealth of information and expertise available in this area online means you can customize the web forums quickly and easily.
