About JForum

Download JForum Now! Known issues and future JForum development

JForum Discussion & Private Messages is an easy-to-use, yet robust tool that offers industry-standard functionality to users. Instructors can set up unlimited categories and forums, moderate topics (move, edit, delete, lock, or unlock), read recent topics and mark them as read, watch and bookmark topics, communicate privately with users, and much more. JForum comes with built-in private messaging that allows site members to communicate privately while discussing issues or collaborating on projects. JForum has a familiar (popular phpBB) graphical user interface. Jforum offers support for private group work and offers powerful, yet flexible grading of discussion topics and forums.
