Message Board

Having a message board can bring lively discussions to your website on all topics imaginable, whether serious or just for fun. The Message Board feature is very simple and requires little maintenance. It can have a life of its own, and the best message boards prove to be very popular and enjoyable.

Sometimes, emotions and comments on message boards can get very heated. This requires the need for maintenance features to delete single postings or entire threads. The IP address of each poster to the message board is stored, although the identification of the poster is not easy to discover with only an IP address.

You can edit the message board by going to the Board in Maintenance Mode and clicking on the thread you want to edit. This allows you to see all the messages in the thread, each featuring the IP address of the poster. By moving the mouse over a message, a red frame will appear around it with a red X in the upper left corner. A single message can be deleted from the message board by clicking the X on the selected message.

If you want to delete the entire thread, click on the red X on the first message of the thread.

Guestbook

You can also choose the less complicated Guestbook feature. With this feature, messages are not in separate threads; they are all visible stacked on top of each other. You can delete single messages by moving the mouse to the message you want to delete and clicking on the red X.
