X5 Features

Xsorbit Admin Features

X5 was designed by a team with over 50 years of combined knowledge on message board administration. Each page, feature, component and function was evaluated by our management team, senior developers, advisors and our beta tester’s to insure a universal user friendly environment.The core of our admin is a set of four major modules which control the entire message board environment. Those 4 modules are the Wizards, Managers, Administrators and the Dashboard Reporting Center. See below for a brief overview of the features they provide.
