The main difference between Beehive and most other forum software is its frame-based interface, which lists discussion titles on the left and displays their contents on the right.

Features

Other features which differentiate Beehive from most forums include:

Beehive is used by the popular UK technology website The Inquirer on the Hermits Cave Message Board.[1][2]

Security and Vulnerabilities

In May 2007 Beehive Forum was selected as one of the most secure forums from a selection of 10 Open Source software tested by Dragos Lungu Dot Com.[3]

On 28 November 2007 Nick Bennet and Robert Brown of Symantec Corporation discovered a security flaw related to Beehive's database input handling. The vulnerability could "allow a remote user to execute SQL injection attacks".[4][5] The flaw affected all versions of the software up to 0.7.1. The Beehive Forum team responded very rapidly with a fix released, in the form of version 0.8 of the software, later that day.[6]
