Your Team Website Now Has a Message Board
After much hoopla and fanfare, the Forum system is now active for your team’s website, which you can enable or disable from your administration panel. All forum, thread and post creation happens on the public-facing part of your team’s website. Just visit your team’s page and click on the”Forums” link in your left hand menu. Depending upon the privacy settings you have set up in your administration panel, users can create forums, threads within forums, and replies to posts within threads. Currently only website owners can delete threads and forums. Other users can only delete posts they have created.
In order to post, a user must have a FreeTeams accoung and be logged in and associated with your team. You must visit your Privacy Settings page in the administration panel to enable team-user associations if you have not done so already. To limit spam and give you more control over your content, anonymous posting is not allowed.
Owners have full control over the forums, and can delete any post, thread, or forum, regardless of who created it. Users can enter standard Bulletin Board Code to link to pictures, URLs, and include a few other formatting options. Here is a handy BBCode guide if you would like more information.
Please let me know if you find anything that looks like it shouldn’t be there, or if anything isn’t working as it should. I may add in some other message board features later, like moving threads to different forums, editing forum titles and thread titles, sticky threads, saving threads into a favorites section, etc. If you have any suggestions, please feel free to leave them in the FreeTeams Forums
