Questions about features

The group I want to set up the bulletin board for is currently using Yahoogroups. We have some die-hard email users. All other boards I am looking at, if you subscribe to a thread, you only get an email notice containing a link to the thread. I need a forum that will send the text of the replies to the subsriptors (is that the right term) mailbox, and allow them to reply from email. That way the only time they would need to actually go to the board would be to start a new topic.

Also, is there a calandar function? If so can you have more than one- like a calandar for birthdays and one for activities?

Also can you put in pop-up announcements? And if so can you delay them. For example can I enter an annoucement today, that will automatically pop-up five days from now?

I appreciate anyone taking time to answer.

Hi Zoe,

We do not have integration feature with e-mail. our software is web based and not e-mail based.

The calendar function will be available in later versions.

Pop up announcement can be done by modifying the code. We have scheduled announcement available but it is currently displayed on the home page of the forum, but not pop-ups

Thank you
