Agreed. :P
I don't see why people couldn't theme a forum like this, too. Perhaps also some sort of data migration tool.
Forums just kind of need a revamping!
- zalew 16y ago> Forums just kind of need a revamping! That's absolutely true, I was happy after punbb appeared and later vanilla, but I know how hard it's to make even simple updates when you have a big community. I help run a 7yr old huge automotive forum and even a phpbb2->3 upgrade caused riots, I have no idea what happens when someone would switch a huge community from bb or invision to an exotic platform :)
- Skywing 16y agoPerhaps we can find out.
- zalew 16y ago"Challenge accepted"? :) If i was to reinvent the forum, besides RT I'd include/change such features by default: - simple wysiwyg B, I, U, Quote - stop all this bbcode nonsense - js oembed or similar (automatic embedding images, videos, etc. from links) - scaling too big images - easy partial quoting - marking posts/threads as favorite/follow - openid/fb - mobile version (what currently tapatalk does) probably some more I can't remember right now.
