Email enhancements: Significant enhancements have been added to the way that WebBoard interacts in the email environment. While "watching a topic" via email, the entire text of the message is contained in the email (not just notification that a new post has been made).

Security: New security settings are available to ban users by IP address, enhanced processing on filter words,
Single SignOn: It's easier than ever to integrate WebBoard into a "single sign on" scheme that lets your users sign onto your site, then seamlessly interact with WebBoard without having to use WebBoard's login page.
External Authentication: Most sites will be able to integrate with Active Directory or NT Domains by just a "check box" in the configuration.
Statistics: A rich variety of useful statistics on how your WebBoard is actually being used is now available.
Ranking and rating: User "ranks", which are completely customizable, are available to identify and recognize the most valuable contributors. Message ratings are aggregated and averaged up into a rating for the entire topic.
UI Improvements: a "My WebBoard" home page is now available for quick access to favorite boards, conferences and topics. Topics "percolate" active messages to the top for quick access. Users review the original message while composing the reply. A "WebBoard Home" page shows the list of boards messages from the administrator, "hot" top
