Forumbee overview

What is Forumbee?

Forumbee is a cloud-based community forum creation solution which allows users to create public, private, hidden, and restricted-access forums for Q&As, discussion, feedback and idea generation, knowledgebase articles, and more. Forums are ad-free, independent of social networks, and can be customized with a built-in theme or users’ own branding, logos, and message.

Forumbee includes a range of moderation tools, giving users control over the content posted in their community and the ability to manage, suspend, and ban those who break community rules. Activity streams can be monitored in real time across the community, enabling users to identify new topics and comments which require their input or attention. Topics and posts can be filtered and sorted, either across the community as a whole or in specific forums, allowing users to find topics with no replies, unanswered questions, and feedback that has not been given a status. Posts can also be searched for with a full text search, and results narrowed down by post type, forum, or post status. Important topics or comments can be pinned or highlighted to be featured at the top of the forum or post, and users can also mark individual comments as the official response to a question or topic. Spam, inappropriate, or duplicate comments or posts can be removed, discussions can be closed to prevent further comments, and moderators can also restore any posts which were mistakenly deleted.

Forumbee also includes customizable user profiles, member activity tracking, user management tools, email notifications, support for embedded images and video as well as file attachments in multiple formats, and more.

Key benefits of using Forumbee

  • Professionally-designed themes are built in, and users can select from these with the ability to change the color palette, or apply their own styles by adding custom CSS.

  • User activity can be monitored in real time, and moderators can control content, close discussions, remove inappropriate, duplicate, or spam posts, and more.

  • Posts can be sorted by the most views, likes, or replies, and users can also filter topics with no replies, unanswered questions, and feedback with no status.

  • Important topics, such as announcements, can be pinned to the top of the forum, and the best comments featured within a topic, with the option to label them as official responses.

  • Members can customize their profiles with an avatar, location, bio, and links, and can view the activity and community response stats for other members on their profiles.

  • The dashboard shows key community activity, including recent postings, activity charts, maps of recent visitors, trends, and more.

    “For example, text formatting transferred from another document is not always retained. Additionally, the more our community/posts grow, the more difficult it becomes to search with accuracy.”
