ZUBB

by J. Atwood — last modified 2006-11-22 11:42

ZUBB is a threaded discussion board based on ZDiscussion and UBB (Ultimate Bulletin Board). It is written in DTML as a Python / ZClass based product and does not currently work with Plone.

If you want to see how it works, check out the ZUBB test board. There you can post away till your hearts desire. If you have a comment or suggestion post them in the comments and suggestion board. There is also a growing ZUBB FAQ which contains lots of answers and tips. All versions of ZUBB can be downloaded here.
