New Discussion Board Template

Saturday, March 5, 2005

The WSS Discussion board template is probably one of worst implementations of a threaded forum I've ever seen. Compare it to the typical Forums we see like phpBB, ASP.NET Forums, Snitz, etc. and you'll probably agree. However, finally, someone has stepped up and put together a nice alternative.

Thanks to Serge van den Oever who brought us the Macaw SPS Joust Menu for SharePoint 2001, he's now put together the Macaw Discussion Board, a WSS template that provides last-post first views, a discussion thread view, and SWYRO (See What You Respond On).

Great stuff! You can find the templates here for download and documentation here on his blog. Enjoy.

Hi Bil, spelled my name wrong;-) Still working on the stuff I promised you... but first had to finish the discussion board.
