My SMF 3.0 Dream
Fustrate:
We've both rationalized it to ourselves and said we won't make it a part of SMF, so we've covered all the bases :)
igirisjin:
Search function does not let people know they are searching in the section they are in and not site-wide. I would even consider this equal to a bug.
Laguages install automatically but on most templates the language switcher doesnt - these days no other software is as bad as SMF in this respect. Manual edits to template files to include function calls should not be necessary.
Should be a pruning feature for private messages. At the moment there isnt even a mod to do this but it is standard on many boards. Another pile of garbage building up.
4.| Add a BBC manager and a Menu Manager.
Agree - Menu manager needed. Most SMF portals do not have this unfortunately.
6.| Remove most of the profile fields in profiles and let the custom profile fields do the work. If the admin wants them, he can create them.
Agree, and all field types should be searchable - not just the text fields.
22.| Scrap karma system for users and add like/dislike system based on posts.
Agree, Karma - outdated, let it go.
24.| Profiles need a make-over, add more information and ditch the old YaBB look. Be sure to add page views a profile, and show what the user is currently viewing.
Agree, they dont look very interesting.
26.| Allow multiple polls per topic.
Agree, waste of time adding a topic for every poll.
mr.Curiosity:
A lot of great ideas,well done

Good morning,
I have seen some forums built by XenForo recently. Since that time I dont know is there an accidently but I feel that our new applied modifications is reducing. We have new 9 mods through 2 months, any way, I visits some forums by XenForo and Xen is really pretty, and I think SMF should come up to 3.0 very quickly and should have some utilities like in XenF such Gravatar intergrater, consider to use fb, g+, so.cl, twitter or any new social networks appears later for user's profile. Search by google or siteself is available and Google Analytics is in Core 3.0 this should have good bridges to Joomla base.
Thanks.
Arantor:
Given what has been stated previously about SMF 3.0 and smCore, it isn't going to be for at least another year, possibly even more before SMF 3.0 as such emerges into something that could be called stable.
I would note that adding social networks to the profile is very easy to do through custom fields should one be so inclined.
As for search with Google, I couldn't possibly encourage that. There are privacy implications to this that I'm certainly not comfortable with and would encourage all forum owners who use such things to be very mindful of user privacy and the implicit sharing of that data with Google, primarily for Google's benefit in being able to sell more expensive ads.
