I’d buy it.

This is great news!

I reckon there are too many social media sites in my footer now 😂

BBpress was the first one I’d thought off, but I’d do some research first. Would be pointless going to something else not supported!

I’ve just converted one of my smaller XF sites to Wordpress. The forum wasn’t used much anyway, and I was mainly using it with Bob’s AMS and some custom code. If I do decide to add on a forum in the future, I’ll just use BBpress. I’m seriously considering in doing something similar with my...

I mean other people may have different experience. To give an actual example, my forum is about perfume. And there's a forum to discuss men's fragrances. - Theres a handful of people really into men's fragrances that smell like pine. Having the group allowed them to really geek-out on pine...

When we used VB we used their groups functionality and most of the groups were public. It allowed members to really dive into certains subjects that would maybe overwhelm the main board (perhaps something most people weren't interested in). There were some private, or invite only ones, which in...

Reddit is probaby everyones biggest competitor in the forum space right now. It is essentially a massive forum for every subject imaginable. Whether you like reddit or don't like it, it really makes sense for forum owners to spend a decent amount of time there and find out what makes it tick...

It is if you're a member. It shows you posts from the forums you are subscribed to, people you follow, and occasionally posts outside of these it thinks you might be interested in. If you are not logged in, it shows you things that are currently popular. When VB3 was at its peak, you could...

Kind of, but more orientated to what the user wants to see. What's New / Latest Activity could be made so much better I'll give you that! Members can buy awards other members for insightful posts Yes it sounds like mayhem, but something like a group functionality has been requested for a long...

430 million people don’t think that Reddit is garbage. I read various Reddit forums every day. There’s a lot Reddit does right that traditional forums could take note of. (Eg, feed, upvoting, awards, user created forums )

I think I’m in a similar boat to you. (Including starting with WWWboard!) and the part I have bolded is basically how I feel but couldn’t word it as succinctly as this

When are we allowed to start being impatient? 3 years, 5 years, 10? I'm not so eager to have 2.3 drop - just to know what it is I'm actually waiting for. I know I'm not entitled to that, but I have to base decisions for my business on the information available, and at the moment with regards...

to be honest this is starting to feel like the vBulletin end times. As someone who stayed on VB for far longer than necessary before moving to XF 18 months ago, I’m not keen on repeating the same situation. It would be nice to have some idea of what is happening in 2.3 and beyond so I can...

Are you using the attribute rel="me" in the mastodon link ?
