4.2. NewBB

The NewBB module is a forum or bulletin board module. Depending on permissions set by the site administrators, moderators, registered users and anonymous guests can exchange posts and discuss topics. Forum management is done from within the Admin Control Panel, but assigned moderators can do from basic forum moderation within the forum itself.

Four blocks are available for display, usually in the front page: Most viewed topics, Most active topics, Recent topics, and Recent private topics.

Some of the features of the module are:
