We tear down barriers
Burning Board has been created as much accessible as possible! You will gain an increased amount of visitors comprising people with impairments! We banished old-style tables as design element and replaced them with an improved, semantic structure allowing a flexible, built-in search engine optimization. Burning Board features a clear separation between content and design, enabling you to style your board using CSS - a perfect symbiosis of web 2.0 and usability!
Package management could not be easier
Common web applications are hard to install and you have no clue why? We neither! We have developed a groundbreaking, satisfying solution for this - our installation assistant requires no prior knowledge.
All you have to do is uploading nothing but two files: The installation archive and the script containing the whole installation mechanism. Our software will extract and configures itself; The assistant guides you through the installation, requiring only various user credentials. Every step requiring technical understanding will be done by the assistant at self - you will never want to install other web software again.
Creating texts with an advanced layout
Remind these plain, impersonally texts in the past? Formatting enables you to create a personal touch and make your messages easier to read. Simplicity describes best our advanced post editor, allowing you to insert any kind of visual scope for design. The editor behaves mostly like common text processing software, e.g. Word or OpenOffice - the software will not limit your constructiveness!
Results in no time
No need for endless searches through unrelated postings! Burning Board contains a modern, context-sensitive search field on each page, empowering you to find the results within a precise context without burrowing through contextless results. Additionally you can use a full-text search including boolean operators which help you to connect search terms or to foreclose irrelevant terms. Save your time for reading matching results, rather than using an awful search-function!
Private messages
An inbox for private messages gives users the opportunity to keep track of their activity with other users. It drastically improves relationships within your community and increases their palatability. Burning Board introduces a brand-new user interface for private messages - providing every feature from our post editor: WYSIWYG-mode, BB-Codes, multiple attachments, smilies, quotes and much more!
Furthermore you may sort messages into user-defined folders and create rules defining an automatically processing for incoming messages.

The web underlies a continuous progress, forcing web applications to go along with. In general, updates are considered pretty much annoying, as they break things or revert own changes. We are glad to provide you an easy to use mechanism to deal with them:
