The main feature of WebBBS is that it allows a user to post messages as well as post replies to existing messages. WebBBS keeps track of which messages are posts and which ones are replies and displays them in a hierarchical tree-like fashion. WebBBS is also fully integrated with the user authentication library. Additionally, it allows a user to restrict the number of messages through a variety of query mechanisms. The user can also conduct a keyword search and select a range of dates within which the viewed messages were posted.
