Website Toolbox
The overall platform has worked well for what we needed. I did have a period of time that users were unable to login and our forum was inactive for about a month. Besides the few small glitches I have had, it has been a great product and the customer service works hard to solve your issues.
Avantages
The customer service is amazing. They're always quick to respond and handle your issues.
Inconvénients
Functionality can, at times, be unstable if you embed into a Wordpress site. You cannot use your theme builder to change the page or the code will be damaged. All design of the page must be handled through Website Toolbox.
This may not be an issue for other site builders.
Réponse de Website Toolbox
Thanks for your wonderful comments! We definitely do strive to have amazing customer support!
Thanks for reporting the issue regarding not being able to use the WordPress theme builder without it damaging your embed code. I've escalated that to our Quality Assurance team for investigation. Can you contact our support team regarding this at https://www.websitetoolbox.com/contact so that they can discuss with you if they have any difficulty reproducing the issue? Thanks!

A Solid Forum Platform
The forum is a place for our users to share ideas and ask questions about how to use our product. It works really well for that.
Avantages
Website Toolbox is easy to setup, easy for users to interact with and is a very reliable tool for hosting our online forum.
Inconvénients
Some of our users struggle with more advanced features like adding in photos but this is typical of all forums that I use.
Réponse de Website Toolbox
Thanks for your review! It's great to hear that your forum was easy to set up, is easy for your users to interact with, and has proven to be reliable over the last 2 years you've been with us!
We're constantly looking for ways to make the forum even more easy to use. We'll investigate how we can make photo uploading even more user-friendly. Thanks for your feedback.

Easy to use, quick setup, affordable
I have been using Website Toolbox for 4-5 years and have been very happy with it. The few times I needed customer service, they were responsive and fixed the issue. I highly recommend this software and would make the same decision to use it again.
Avantages
I love how quick and easy it was to setup my private member site using Website Toolbox. I simply could not believe it after I wasted a lot of time trying various plugins for my WordPress site.
Inconvénients
I would love to see Website Toolbox integrate additional payment gateways and options for paid memberships.

Issues with email receiving
Useful but too many issies
Avantages
Ease of use and set up. Setting it up and customizing it was easy.
Inconvénients
A large number of people i forum do not reveive emails, and no fix is offered. Fixes are offered only on individual basis when tech support is contacted reg a certain user.
Réponse de Website Toolbox
Thanks for your review Petra! I'm glad that setting up and customizing the forum was easy for you!
We've recently worked to make any email delivery issues very transparent to the user. If the email isn't received due to a returned email from the email provider (full inbox, non-existent email address, etc.) , we show a message to the user informing them of that when they log in to the forum.
In the next few weeks, we'll also be making a change that will show a notification in the forum Notifications menu if a user is unsubscribed from any type of email due to the email being returned as spam either because the email provider returned it as spam or the user marked it as spam.
This way it'll be super clear why an email wasn't received by a specific user.
We're also constantly monitoring email delivery to email providers to ensure that your forum maintains the highest possible email reputation score to ensure successful email delivery.

Use it a lot!
I'm glad you have a tool like this - but I'm sure I'm using uniquely.
Avantages
I like that it helps me to create a forum for my teams to share ideas and communicate what they are learning in trainings.
Inconvénients
Can be wonky log in and stuff and the price jump from the first year I used it to now is a lot..
we only use it for a forum - for intercommunication - so the price we pay is high for what we are using. I understand that it can do much more than we use it for - but I wish there was tiered pricing that was more in line - or that we could have been grandfathered. The issue is that because I use with one team for 6 months and then close it out and then have to open another to use with the next training - it's frustrating for pricing and set up.
Réponse de Website Toolbox
Hi Cathie,
Thanks for your review! I'm glad it has been helpful for communication among your teams.
I'd like to clarify that we do have tiered pricing. We have a Starter, Growth, and Pro plan that each serve a different size forum. You choose your plan when subscribing and can change it at any time.
Your situation is definitely unique! If you're starting with a new team every 6 months, you can keep the same Website Toolbox account and just ask us to erase the content of your forum. That will allow you to start from scratch and still keep the same pricing due to grandfathering.

Great customer service, but limited functions (payments, social media).

Ease of use makes the site an attractive option.

Would like to see more social media interface.

Good basic forum function for my site
It a helpful, basic tool that improves the online classes I offer without adding a lot of costs.
Avantages
Is tool enables my students to connect with me and with each other in one location, cutting down the number of emails associated with online classes and making the classes a more enjoyable and rich experience.
Inconvénients
It is difficult to customize the look and feel of the forum, the way the topics are organized and presented on the page. It is not possible to generate a share a link to just one reply or one topic, as far as I can tell.
Réponse de Website Toolbox
Thanks for your review Melissa!
I'm surprised that you you found it difficult to customize the look and feel of the forum. We have many different themes to choose from. The themes have a built-in theme editor with live preview functionality and the ability to set your logo, header image, primary and secondary colors, announcement, custom CSS, etc. I'm not aware of any other forum builder that has such a great theme editor.
If you need any custom design changes, just let us know and our designers will be glad to make some changes for you.

Forum
We just use it as a conversation and communication tool.
Avantages
Able to have different topics and subjects.
Inconvénients
Not easy to get a list of users so a mass email can be sent.
Réponse de Website Toolbox
Hi Jeff,
Thanks for your feedback! I'm glad Website Toolbox has been useful for your group.
You can email your users through the admin area by going to the Users -> Email section. If you click on the View Email Addresses link, it'll even give you a full list of the email addresses in case you want to use a different email system to email the users.
Alternatively, you can download your entire members list in the Content -> Export section of the admin area. You can open it up in a spreadsheet program or even in a database.
Let me know if you have any questions or concerns regarding this process.

Hi Jeffery,
Thanks for your review! It's lovely to hear that Website Toolbox has been easy to set up and maintain and that you think our customer support is outstanding! :)
We do build the platform for split second page loads, so if the page is loading slowly for you now or at any time, please contact us and let us know (websitetoolbox.com/contact). The issue could be caused by custom HTML that you may have added to the header/footer of your forum or by something else that is interfering with normal page loads. We'll be glad to investigate it for you.

I feel okay about it. I've seriously considered changing
Avantages
The ability to choose themes and ease of matching my website theme.
Inconvénients

- Bigger variety of custom themes
Réponse de Website Toolbox
Hi Halima! I'm glad you've liked being able to choose themes and make them match your website!
Thanks for the great feedback regarding wanting more themes and for categories to list the topics from their subcategories. The good news is that we have 2 new themes ("Lights Out" and "Compact") currently under quality assurance testing, so they'll be launched soon! Other themes are under development. We plan to launch many of new themes over the next several months.
The second great news is that the change to make categories list topics from their subcategories is already developed and in the final stage of quality assurance testing. It should be launched within the next one to two weeks!

Better than most forums, but still not ideal
Good, quick support. Annoying that the last few things take so long.
Avantages
Ease of set up, ease of use, easy navigation - the forum scrolls to the right post for you. Way easier to start using than forums like Phpbb, both as an admin and as a visitor. Editing tools are very complete, posting pictures and video is super easy. Messaging works great, too. Lots of features that I don’t even use - like sharing from the forum to social media.
Inconvénients
That necessary adjustments to the code sometimes take a long time to get fixed. I have had several requests that were met quickly, which was great. The last few seem to go unresolved. But they are important too.

Hi Kitty,
Thanks for all the wonderful comments! It's awesome to hear how Website Toolbox is working great for you.
The process of making changes to the system does take time sometimes due to it having to be thoroughly tested to ensure that there are no unintended consequences to the forum. Feel free to give us a little nudge by replying to your support ticket and we'll update you on the status of your request!

Connection
I am using Website Toolbox to network people around Australia who are running similar projects to one that I piloted. It is helping us to help each other, answer frequently asked questions for everyone to see and give the opportunity for engagement and to develop best practice.
Avantages
It was easy to use. I'm middle-aged with moderate computer skills and was able to set up a forum without any external help. Creating categories and inviting others to join the forum has been very easy.
Inconvénients
I don't think I know enough about this software or forums to be sure if its got things that can be improved. It does everything I need it to do for now.

Thanks for your feedback! It's great to hear that your forum has been easy to use.
You can definitely modify or remove attachments once they're attached to a post. If you're using an old theme, click the "Full Editor" button to see those options. In the new themes, the quick inline editor will also have the ability to modify or remove attachments without having to go to a separate full editor mode.
