Best features for photography forum ?

[Faust]

Hello. A bit off topic question.

I own a small photography community . And would like to know what features should you recommend to have on the forum ? Or you might think could be useful for photography forum.


Cheers.

Any photography forum needs to have a gallery with personal albums to display the users photos.

That's already in. And i don't think there will be a forum without media page.

May be you tell us what addons do you have already installed?

So we have a photography community as well, we have a classified, video gallery, of course the resources and some improvements to attachements.

I have over 120 addons installed on my forum. Plus lots of css code and modifications.

Trying to figure out what else will be good to have.

If we don´t know what addons you use, how can we tell what is good to have.

To many to list. Is just interesting to know what others has on their forum.

But that's not what you asked. Without us going through and guessing, it's an exercise in pointlessness.

good content.

a high number of addons doesnt mean its a better forum.

content is ALWAYS king.

@Faust maybe you want to show us your Forum. It's maybe more easy to give you the right input.

Agree, my forum is very small niche. Is not about general photography. is focused on one category. There is content already. And is not very active honestly.

I keep the forum private, I believe is easier to manage it like this.

I looked at a few other forums.
Two of them had some kind of tutorial section.
Workshops or tutorials were posted there.

A sell and buy section might also be something.
