New Topic ... Threaded Discussions
While I am immensely impressed with the speed and diligence shown
in these messages (particularly to new unskilled members) I do
wonder whether there is not much better software for
topic discussions where each thread has its
original title and the discussion of
each topic is separate using
dated messages, and
author names in
a clear format.
The message board systems I've encountered have this extra clarity.
Are there no free ones?
