Enabling The
Server's Self Signup Feature:
Post-A-Board comes
with a set of "Self Signup" Web pages that enable you, as
Adminstrator, to give potential Message Board Managers the ability of
signing up for their own message boards, a process which relieves you
of the job of creating message boards.
To enable the Self
Signup feature, click the "Enable Self Signup" check box so
that it is checked, as shown below:
You can view the
Self Signup pages by clicking the "View' button.
The Self Signup
pages are basic forms that will allow the Manager to specify the type
of board he or she wants, as well as other items that would normally
be specified by the Administrator when the "New Board"
button is clicked.
Link the Self
Signup page to your Web site, so visitors can come and read about
Post-A-Board, then sign up for a board themselves if they wish.
By clicking
"Self Signup Configuration" on the Administration
Control Panel, you can choose to display your own Title Image
and Title Text on these pages, as well as specify a return link that
will take visitors back to your main Web site.
