What is Beehive Forum?

[ForumsHelp]

Beehive Forum is a free and open source forum system using the PHP scripting language and MySQL database software.
The main difference between Beehive and most other forum software is its frame-based interface, which lists discussion titles on the left and displays their contents on the right.
Other features which differentiate Beehive from most forums include:

• Targeted replies to specific users and/or posts.
• HTML posting, rather than BBCode, via WYSIWYG editor, helper toolbar, or manual typing.
• A relationship system, allowing users to ignore users and/or signatures that they dislike.
• Powerful forum-wide and per-user word filtering, including a regular expression option.
• A flexible polling system, allowing public or private ballot, grouped answers, and different result modes.
• A built-in "light mode" that allows basic forum access from PDAs and web-enabled mobilephones.

History:
Beehive Forum was started in 2002 by a group of ex-PC Format forum members (known then as NPCFF - Not PC Format Forum) who were upset when Delphi forums decided to cripple the service for their non-paying members. The first release, labelled Beehive Forum 0.1 beta, was released on the 27th June, 2002.
The latest stable version, Beehive Forum 0.7 beta, was released on 4th October 2006, and includes a variety of improvements and fixes from the previous 0.6.3 version.
The latest bleeding edge version is often used and tested at the new haunt of NPCFF members, now known as Teh Forum, from where free unofficial support may also be found.
