While there are definitely a few things I'd like to see added to the forum software, I hope that you stick with the general philosophy of simple display technology. Some feedback from me is that the things that are important to me are security, ease of use, and ease of finding information, and not stuff that other forum software has like private messaging. In fact some of the frills like private messaging are actually a negative in my opinion, because one has to learn about them and configure them properly in order to set up forums, even if only to turn them off.
Gunnstein Lye	Thursday 23 October 2003 8:42:08 am I agree. BTW, you should be aware that the way the forums are on this page is not the only way eZ publish forums can be. This is just one possible implementation. You can add extra forum features if you need them.
