Well, I first needed to know which feed he was looking at but you are right it really doesn't answer the question. Right now your best option is to use the WhatsNew module I wrote, as RSS is not setup for this right now. Right now we don't have time to enhance this part of the module. Realistically, I would like to use the What's New Module I wrote as the core answer to this but also find a way to basically expose another RSS feed which What's New will be actually reading from. This would allow a few things doing it this way:

  • You get the ability to put the Whats New anywhere on your site.
  • Depending on how we write it, you could essentially build your own What's New RSS Feed.

As a user of another forum site (and also an admin), I was using ubb and we converted to phpbb. (It's more of a linux community, so no DotNetNuke option there ;) )Spending some time as an admin/user on there has shown me that this module already has many options which these others don't. Things like what you want are things I would like to add but its really a matter of free time and prioritzing what is most important.

What's that you say?
DNN forum module offers options that phpbb does not?
:agog:

If not the gold standard, phpbb is at least a standard that this module still should aspire to- in as much as users, moderators, and forum admins go- IMHO.

Thanks, Crispy - any idea when this will become available ?

And to y01nk : Just because phpBB is a standard, it doesn't mean that other solutions cannot have features which are not included in phpBB. A standard is not necessarily the best

Freddie, I am not sure and think it is at least 4 months away as its not road mapped yet.

y01nk, I don't disagree that phpbb is a good forum system by any means, I am simply stating that we offer things that it does not. As for usability, I think this module can improve but don't think phpbb is any more useable for an admin or moderator than this one. As for users, I don't see this module as any more difficult to use than phpbb. That said we will continue to work on usability as releases come out.
