ClubExpress includes a powerful discussion forums module, allowing members to participate in online discussions. Original messages and their replies are organized into threads listed within a forum. Forums, in turn, are grouped into categories, allowing a club or association to organize forums for different purposes.
Forums configured as an email list ("listserver") push messages out to forum members' email boxes and allow members to reply via email. The reply is posted to the forum and sent to every member. But these forums can also viewed online like any other forum and are fully integrated into the rest of ClubExpress.
Clubs have complete control over forum membership. Forums can be defined where all members have access by default, where members can opt-in, or where a moderator adds members manually. Clubs can also build forums around an interest group, a committee, or a member type, and ClubExpress will maintain forum membership automatically.
ClubExpress supports multiple views, message posting icons, forum handles, message attachments, user pictures, rich content within messages, and many user-configurable options. There is also a full suite of administration tools at the forum, thread, and message levels.
Forums can be configured to be moderated, where new messages must be approved before making them visible. Individual members can also be moderated so that only their messages must be approved. Administrators and moderators can also block members from posting without following forum rules.
Forums can be placed on the club's public site to make their content available to any site visitor. But in this position, they will be read-only; all editing functionality is disabled.
The AdministratAdministrators' Forum
Club administrators have access to a special forum available to all administrators across all clubs and associations using ClubExpress. It provides a place for admins to ask questions and share their expertise with administrators from other clubs. It will be shown at the end of the list of forums. To access the administrator forum, forums must be enabled on your website. You do not need to give members access to the module or even configure your forums to participate.
