Feature-Filled Discussion Forum Script

Most scripts make you upload files, CHMOD them and run complicated setup/upgrade processes. With WSN Forum, upgrading to a new release is one click in your admin panel (no uploading, no permissions issues). You can even use a tool to upgrade dozens of your sites at once. Initial setup is also super-simple: upload one file, fill in your database info and it'll install the rest of the files automatically. If you'd rather do nothing at all, professional installation is included free.

WSN Forum comes with all the community-building interactive features you want, but probably never expected to get: comments and ratings, an invitations system, saved listings, tagging, guestbooks, a calendar, ebay-style feedback, avatars, private messaging, buddy and ignore lists, member ranks and ratings, an advanced moderator system, instant messaging, a shoutbox, even a chat room.

WSN Forum takes full advantage of RSS, allowing you or others to submit feeds whose content will be automatically added every day. Of course you can also make feeds, from the standard whole-directory feed to per-category or any other sort of custom feed you can imagine.

Already have a bunch of members who signed up with another script? WSN Forum can integrate with most MySQL-based member systems, and the integration wizard makes it easy. Includes but not limited to all the WSN scripts, phpBB, vBulletin, Invision, Mambo, PHP-Nuke, SMF, WordPress, e107 and FusionBB. You can also match the visual look and feel of WSN Forum to the rest of your site using the stylesheet and templates system.

Take what you want, leave what you don't. WSN Forum features switches with which you can turn functionality on and off instantly. If you don't want something, just turn it off. The "simple" setup option defaults most switches to off so that those who want a no-frills site can have their wish... and activate a frill or two any time.

Thousands of options are at your disposal. Choose between thread bans, forum bans, suspensions and full bans. Assign warning points and check the warning point standings. Let member select to get automated notifications of moderating actions. Review the contributions of new posters in a convenient centralized location. Review logs of moderator actions. Select various requirments for posts and topics. Force people to write literate posts with the automated illiteracy detector. If you can think of it, there's probably an option for it.

Full support is free with your purchase. Get answers and advice from the script's developer via e-mail or the public discussion forum. The concise introductory manual gets you started. More than three hundred knowledge base entries, many helpfully linked in the admin panel next to the corresponding features, give you all the in-depth detail you want. If you'd like additional services beyond support, many services are available at an hourly rate.

Need an additional feature? Need a generic website template applied to the script to beautify it? Need your whole website designed? WSN can be your one stop solution. Web design and programming services are available at a rate of $50/hr rounded up to the next whole hour.
