O’Reilly &
Associates recently released WebBoard version 3.5, the latest upgrade
for its collaboration, discussion and chat package.
This new version expands the abilities of administrators and visitors to
communicate with each other using new features such as real-time paging,

and SMTP server enhancement.
New features in the latest release of WebBoard include:

board visitors
- Broadcasting enables administrators and conference board managers
to make board-wide and system-wide broadcasts which instantly appear on
the screen of all logged-in users

users
from creating accounts using another person’s e-mail address
- Password reminder system enables site visitors who’ve forgotten their
password to retrieve it without the assistance of the administrator

on the same computer as another SMTP server
