So I tried the answers thing, it's okay, slow and no way to ask followup questions it seems and assure they get seen.

http://www.dnnsoftware.com/answers/ci...

There is the question I asked for reference.

I'm a bit more confused than every now unfortunately. I'm looking for some insight from someone with experience with any of the 3 forum modules.

• DNN Core Forum
• Active Forums (codeplex version)
• Yet Another Forum

One of the posters providing an answer to my question post recommended YAF, stating that it had some advantages and yet some issues still; however without providing any specifics that information is useless.

Can anyone offer any insight into the pros/cons of these in a comparative manner. I see that Evoq social has "Discussions" listed as a selling point, what are they using for discussions in that?

I'm not looking for point systems, or recommendations or ratings, I do need a decently strong forum system though as I expect it to be used quite extensively. The ability to do posts with polls would be nice, but is not an absolute must have. What I do need:

• Categories
• Sub-categories
• Sub-forums
• Decent moderation (We're not gonna touch SMF or MyBB, I know, but something understandable would be nice)
• Image posting (Auto thumb-nailing/resizing would be nice, as would lightboxes when clicking the thumbnail)
• Code blocks (I doubt there are any with syntax highlighting, but if so great)
• Avatars

Thanks in advance for any information.

I don't mean this in a rude or disrespectful way, but they are two separate questions. By the look of the features in the Answers section, it appears to be a way to ask simple questions (What is ____, or How do I ____). My question here is more of a discussion of the pros, cons and comparisons of several modules. That type of discussion seemed more appropriate for a forum. I only linked to the question I asked for reference to what my original question was and what information I already had prior to this post, which I was hoping could be a more in depth discussion of the different forum modules strengths/weaknesses.

It's okay, sometimes things get misconstrued/misread when dealing with the internet. I'll probably be trying out Active Forums and Yet Another Forum. YAF has a somewhat detailed features page and appears that it will/can be a good match. However, I will try them both and try to make a comparison to post back to here so that there is something more cut and dry for newcomers to look at.

Thanks again.
