Good Day, I'm from South Africa and I'm a new user of dnn applications. I'd like to run a forum on one of my websites:

http://forum.manufacturing-engineering.co.za

Well I still have to do my set up in detail - I hope I made the right choice...

At present I'm still learning and I would to run it at least at a performance that applications like (basic) vBulletin/phpBB can give. Navigation is a key issue for me, since I assume that this is important for my upcoming users - People from Manufacturing and Engineering.

So I'm looking forward to new features, which I still need to have a look at. The aim is in the end to get it running for new customers of mine, but that means that my forum must work for my users.

What I also provide at the old site:

"DNN does have some positive features. That's why I decided to give it a try. I would like to see more features that are somehow similar to stuff I've seen at vbulletin (which I considered as well). I'm thinking here of the User navigation for forums, threads and user control panels. I personally believe that one should emulate some of the useful features or better: improve on them. This will give DNN a competetive edge in the feature. And all users will then be able to benefit from the synergy."

Btw: ...Where can I get the DNN user manual. Any location, where one can download this? Need to study this? before I start experimenting....
