AEForums is a really cool little Forum platform that is best described in this weeks video which is the first of the Series and can be found here.
The full name of AEF is Advanced Electron Forum. This bulletin board software is free software. It is written in PHP and MySQL.
AEF has a very simple and easy to use Administration Panel and installing this software is a piece of cake! You can install new themes, customize themes the way you want. The User Control Panel has a simple yet beautiful interface where users can set their preferences for the board.
This Bulletin board or forum software has all the general features that a forum software should have. It also includes features such as :
- UTF-8 Supported
- Search Engine Optimization Tools
- IP Ban
- W3C Validated
- News System with articles
- ShoutBox
- Threaded Mode for topics
- JS DOCK for easy navigation(A first from AEF)
- WYSIWYG Editors
- Customizable Themes
- Multiple Languages supported
- Time Zone Adjustment
- Automatic Updates
- Export Files and Database
- Suggest Framework for usernames while writing PM’s
- Domdrag for reordering Categories, Forums, emoticons (A new feature included for the first time ever in a forum software.)
Again the important thing to remember about some of the more obscure platforms we’ll go over in this series is that they are really quite cool in the way they are either administered (in lots of cases – not) and as such where they are quite old platforms then the links coming from them are usually always “do follow”.
Either way enjoy and the PDF/ List this week is made up of 10,000 Forum Domain / Urls which are a mix of vbulletin, SMF and phpBB so have fun.
