I need to add a discussion board to my web site. I've looked at a couple of free ones but haven't found anything that I like. My requirements are:
Must handle multiple forums.
Must be private (ie a login process, but requests for new users must be passed to the admin first (ie they can't get access automaticly)).
Must keep track of what messages are new for each user, preferably in the database (ie no cookies!)
Some admin facilities to create new forums, delete old messages, add / delete users.
That's it! Most of the discussion boards I've looked at are either completely open so that anyone can post, or they allow people to sign up but then the user gets automatic access. Can anyone suggest a board that meets my requirements?
Failing this, I guess I could take a simple board and add the extra security I need. Can anyone suggest a nice simple board that allows multiple forums?
