Hi, i dont want to be badazz or nothing, but i have been waiting from 2007 that the Forum Module would come more user friendy, with simple way to handle the themes etc. But havent seen any progress on this.
It seems to be some kind of “shhh” when ever i have tried to ask about it, so wondering does EL even have future plans with it?
There was 2 reasons back in 2007 when i first bought ExpressionEngine and the Forum Module for my community site.
1. only one account for both
2. ” You can even easily change the look and feel of your forum by simply applying another “theme” to it.”
But that second has never got better. It is still very hard to start making it a) responsive, and b) to fit to the sites look and feel. At least for me.
There is way too much Forum ONLY tags and parameters and you can not find (i havent) any list of those from anywhere.
The member themes are also a pain.
it isnt even near of “easily change the look and feel” as far as it goes for me. This is shown as the lack of any themes out there.
Anyway, i would love to use the forum module in future too, but as i have now updated my site to be mobile friendly also, i still run forums that are good for basic computer screens.
I so hope that even some of the promises would be collected since even the patch for gallery module never came out….
