Private Topics
This feature allows members to create private discussion, and invite specific members to participate. This differs from Private Messages in that members can have multiple participants in a discussion, rather than just one.
Private Messaging
This feature allows members to send private messages to one other member in the community. These messages are only viewable to the participants. This is a one-to-one type of private communication, whereas Private Topics can be one to many.
User Defined Message View
This feature allows users to choose the view in which they want their messages displayed. This can be accomplished in two ways: by choosing a view type within the user profile or by selecting a view type in the community interface. Selecting it in the user profile results in the view chosen as the default view. If the user selects a view from the community interface, it will only be temporary. The next time the user views a topic, the user's view will be the one chosen in the profile.
Simple Chat (Using Flash 6.0)
This feature allows members to chat with other members in a seperate interface. A new link will appear called "Chat Server". Clicking on the link will allow a member to enter a chat session with other members.
Dashboard
This feature allows users to manage their forum by keeping track of hot topics, latest news, most recent posts, subscriptions, bookmarks and attachments.
Quick Reply
This feature allows users to post a reply inline within the thread view.

This feature allows members to bookmark topics and add them to their favorites list for easy viewing at a later time. The favorites listing are located within the dashboard page and listed in the side menu (if enabled).

Guests Tracking
This feature allows the administrator to track the number of users who have not logged, and are browsing the forum.
Signature Blocking
This feature allows members to display or hide the signature blocks within each post. Hiding the block would shorten the length of the post.
E-mail Scrambling
This feature allows the administrator to insert a block of text to the member's e-mail address when it is displayed in the community. This prevents "spiders" (scripts that browse the internet without human intervention) from capturing e-mail addresses from FuseTalk. When an individual wants to send an e-mail to the address, simply remove the text block manually.
