A bulletin board management system includes an information registration portion for an information sender to register bulletin information and designating information including members to be provided with the information, choices of answer and an expiration date, an information changing portion for making a change to contents of the bulletin information registered by the information sender, an information list display portion for extracting bulletin information and displaying a list thereof by a terminal device of a member who logged in, the extracted bulletin information being designated to be provided to the member, a read state monitoring portion for monitoring a read state and an answer state of the bulletin information and members, a reminding portion for sending automatically a notice by electronic mail to a member who has not answered the bulletin information yet in accordance with the answer state of each member obtained by the read state monitoring portion, and an expiration date extension confirmation portion for sending automatically an electronic mail urging the information sender to postpone the expiration date if there is a member who has not answered the bulletin information whose expiration date is coming soon. When a change is made to contents of bulletin information, the information changing portion extracts members who have already read the bulletin information before the change from a result of monitoring by the read state monitoring portion so as to send automatically an electronic mail urging the extracted members to check the change in contents of the bulletin information, and changes statuses of the extracted members indicating “already read” to statuses indicating “required to check the change”.
