Key Features

Getting Started
Determine if your WebBoard is closed (private) or open. If it is a closed board, new users will not be able to login and you will have to use the "Add Users" wizard to add users manually. Determine a name for your board, for example, "Cooking Board." The name will be displayed on the welcome page and in the e-mail welcome message. Decide on a unique alias for this board, for example, cooking. The URL would appear as http://webboard.ltc.arizona.edu/~cooking. You can also decide what Web address to use when users sign off the board. They can be sent to your home page, for example.

To request a WebBoard account, complete a Service Request Form.
