From playing with the forums here there seems to be just 2 aspects I'd like. That being the ability for members to upload a avatar and a rank system based on # of posts.


I  was under the impression that the next version has Avatar support, and it is in Beta 2 testing at the moment. There is a ranking system of sorts- you can assign stars to X number of posts, but you could change these images to be names like "Spirit Walker" or "Balrog" if you wanted ;)

I use DigitalPoint a lot (essential if you are a webmaster) and there whole site is built on that very advanced Forum (in PHP I think), but this is obviously a very mature product... I plan on sticking with the core purely because I know how hard Crispy and the team are working on it and that it is improving all the time...

Sounds as if the core module will fit my needs given enough time. I am assuming the upgrades are smooth with DNN? With Xoops it was a russian roulette at times, as sometimes the upgraded module code changed its database format and the only way to get it working was either reset the db (and loose your previous data), be a MySQL dev and hack the files or simply never upgrade.

I am assuming (hoping) with DNN this isn't a common issue? If not then I'll prob stick with the core forum and simply wait for the next revision to be released. As it sounds as if it has the features I am looking for. :)

You might look at:

Do not know if anyone has a new version out, but it is open source and free.

add  yetanotherforum.net to the list

eta:  I cant stand forums that dont have an actual  previous next page links.    yetanotherforum.net doesnt ..   presstopia does...        I will ask YAF whats up with that.



I was looking at YAF and it seems however that it requires it own separate login accounts from the main site. Not a fan of that so I passed on installing it. Aside from that I did like all its features.
