Ever seen one of those social-networking sites that have a spiffy-looking message board for each user, and perhaps even lets users send picture messages to each other?
How about one that can also double-up as a picture gallery? Even better, one that doesn't require page reloads to send messages/upload pictures/refresh?
Now you can have one at your site too. CB Buzzboard 2 is an advanced Community Builder plugin that does all these.
It allows every user to have his/her own message board on his profile. It can be restricted to viewing and posting only to people in the user's connections list, or to every logged in user. On top of that, the user can also upload photos that he can then use to send along with a message to other users.
CB Buzzboard 2 makes heavy use of AJAX technologies. This translates into a smoother user experience. No longer do your users need to click on a Send Message button, wait for the page to load, type a message, wait for it to get sent and see an acknowledgement page, then click on another link to go back to the initial page.
Features
- Promotes interactivity between your site's users as well as providing them with an image gallery at the same time.
- Allows users to leave messages on each other's Buzzboard.
- Users can leaves messages either by visiting other users' profiles, or by choosing the recipients if Community Builder's Connections functionality is enabled.
- Users can give ratings to each other, and Admin can see each user's average rating on the Administrative interface.
- Showcase (Image Gallery). Each user has a Showcase where they can store pictures which they can then use to send as messages. Users can also view each other's Showcases, which functions as an Image Gallery.
- Users can choose to restrict the viewing and/or posting of their Buzzboard and Showcases to only those in their Connections list.
- Ability to control the total number of pictures allowed per user, as well as the maximum file size per picture.
- Users can be banned from using CB Buzzboard 2 via the Administrative interface.
- Users can choose whether or not to receive notification via email when others leave a message on the board.
- When typing messages, a richtext editor is available for the users to use.
- Admin can create his own language files and they can be easily selected as the default language.
- 3 colour themes to choose from for the tabs and accordion.
- Very comprehensive Administrative interface. It uses a sortable grid interface which shows the following:
a) All the Showcase pictures on the system.
b) All the users on the system and their average ratings and Ban status.
c) All the Admin-uploaded pictures on the system.
- Admin can upload pictures for users to include in their messages. This is separate from the Showcase system, so even if a user had not uploaded any picture himself, he can still send messages using the pictures that the Admin has uploaded.

I am a complete noob at Joomla and website building. So, when I read the documentation for buzz board 2, I was resigned to the fact that I’d have to learn a lot more technical things before attempting to install this product. However, about a week after purchasing BB2, I was contacted by Eric, asking if I was having any problems, as he had noticed that I hadn’t used the licence key yet. I thought this was a really nice touch and showed that he cares about his product and his customers.
I explained about my lack of technical know-how and Eric basically walked me through every aspect of installing the buzzboard. The time and support he gave me is second to none. He answers any questions almost immediately and shows great patience to tech noobs like myself. Also, rather than just telling me what to do to resolve a problem, he explained why - in simple terms that even I could understand!
As for the product itself, it’s an absolute must for anyone wanting to build up their community and give members a very cool addition to their profile that will enhance their experience of your site. It really does encourage members to interact with each other.
When purchasing BuzzBoard2, you are getting a very professional looking package for a very agreeable price. Just the buzz board is worth every penny; The photo gallery is the icing on the cake! Combine this with the amazing support and you have a winning product that I would recommend to everyone.
I have already purchased another product from FlameForge, which is proving a big hit with members on my site and I will be following Eric on twitter for any future products.
