Chronological Discussion Topics.
Chronological, non-threaded topics are the most effective means of conducting online discussion. ZeroForum relies solely upon this layout format to facilitate on-topic and 'to the point' conversation.
Intelligent Search Engine.
ZeroForum offers a powerful and intelligent search engine for message content. Unlike other message board products, the ZeroForum full-text search engine can instantly search against tens of millions of messages -- while retaining site speed. This is the level of scalability necessary for large community discussion sites
Topic Ratings.
ZeroForum provides a facility for users to rate the value or quality of topics. This rating is represented by a graphical image, (such as 1 to 5 stars). Users may only rate a topic once, and ratings can be enabled or disabled per forum as necessary.
User Generated Polling.
ZeroForum provides a user friendly polling system. Poll results are displayed graphically with image driven bar graphs, while vote percentages and distribution are automatically calculated and displayed. Voting can be done with a single click, and users are only allowed to vote once per poll to keep results accurate.
Forum Subscription.
Forum subscription allows a user to receive periodic email messages summarizing the most active topics in a forum over a period of time. Forum subscription also encourages users to return to your site, while keeping them informed of any important or interesting topics that they may have missed. Forum Subscription messages are sent automatically by the system, and require no Administrator intervention.
Today's Active Topics.
ZeroForum provides an convenient way for your users to list all active topics within the last 24 hours. This list is available in a single click from the main forum page.
