Features Wanted

It would be nice to have modern forums.

Something like/similar to phpbb.com

Daily digests, subscribe to posts, etc.

This is not for the Thirdlane product but for the people on this site.

I think more modern forums would facilitate more active forums.

Hello Matt,

We just integrated Drupal's Advanced Forum to our website, and as far as I can see, there's a way to add subscription/notification and digest functionality to the existing platform. I will set up and add it on the next website update.

phpbb is a huge spam liability. As an ISP we don't even let users load it on the cpanel servers. Its claim to fame was doubling as a website homepage for MMO Guilds. Slashdot, now thats a great forum ;-)

Not at the moment as switching to different forum while preserving data, all history, and providing single sign on is a bit of work - and there are other priorities.

We are working hard on the next release of the platform and connect - hopefully this weekend,
