Re: [NigelGordijk] Forum software recommendations, please

By Jason - September 11, 2012

Hi Nigel,

There are quite a few different forum scripts out there. I'm not sure about ease of implementation on any of them. Does anyone else have any experience with 3rd party forum scripts?

I'm not sure what you're timeline is like for implementing this, but we are currently working on a forum plugin that we're hoping to have a beta of soon. It was announced in our latest newsletter:

Hope this helps

Hi Jason,

Do you have any update on the release of your forum software?

I have three sites that could use this so am keen to see what you've come up with.

Thanks, Paul.

Hi Paul,

I've just checked in on this, and development is still underway. We are hoping to begin beta testing this plugin in about 2 weeks. I will keep you posted.

Thanks

Hi Jason,

Thanks for the reply. Do you have anything like a feature list for this, something I can use to try and sell the concept to a prospective client?

I've essentially got to get a proposal to them this week and it would be really useful to be able to put something in there about the forum.

Thanks, Paul.

Hi Paul,

We are looking at pretty simple functionality for a first release.

Here's the functionality we are currently looking at:

-flat threaded posts,
-polls,
-email notifications,
-admin users,

Hope this helps,

Hi Jason,

Do you have a better idea of when you might be releasing the beta version of the forum software yet?

I have a customer who's really keen on this so I told them I'd get back to them in a couple of weeks so they're looking for an update from me.

Thanks, Paul.

Hi Paul,

The Forum plugin is still under development and we hope to have a beta out soon.

Please let me know if you have any other questions, or if there is anything else we can help with.

Thanks
