We were using a Lyris List server to manage the GUA discussion forums.
Lyris was not an optimal tool for:
• Creating a visible community on the web
• Managing both public and private discussion forums
• Accessing and searching the forum archives
• Managing security forum by forum
• Creating User managed profiles
• Growing membership
This forum is built on VBulletin – a best in breed solution to manage web communities. This tool will enable us to scale the forums as the interests of the community diverge. It is also a feature rich environment – which gives members more flexibility in how you participate.
You can:
• Create your own profile
• Choose your own signature
• Identify when you are talking to other members, Kodak or GUA Board members
• Identify when you are talking to other members what country they are from
• Subscribe to forums, or threads
• Select notification by email by thread, by day, by week, by month
• Identify new threads only
• Rate member posts for helpfulness
• Send private emails to other members
• Create a buddy list
• Change your password or email address
