Wow! What a great feature list! Really looking forward to that, particularly the new Moderator section. (Every so often I get spammers or those who post porn images/links, etc.)

Followed all of the tips posted so far on dealing with THAT annoyance, and have come up with my own workaround for time being which has eliminated most of that. (Adding the Custom Profile Field mod has also turned into a real nice support feature for managing our user group membership records!)

What I have is a new membergroup just for newbies. They are given posting rights only in a hidden board open only to that group. If they post something appropriate, it is then moved over to the normal public discussion areas. If junk, it goes off forum and they get banned.

good idea, especially the smiley pack idea. I would love to see Webby Smiley set in the default distribution

insane360

indeed! because at the default smileys the text

more packs will come soon or something like that,

its standing there for ages already lol :P and graphicly seen the current smileys are really 100% crap :P

Joshua Dickerson

I would like to see more users come up with more smiley packs. We've seen them before, but haven't seen any new ones in a while.
Come work with me at Promenade Group

Hello.
Cool to hear that all new things will be added to this great software. But I have very important question about this... If there will be so many good changes, SMF will still be a freeware software ? I hope you dont create somthing like simple(free), pro edtition(payed) versions ....

Indeed SMF will always be free, and for those who want to know more information, see for yourself why free is better.

If SMF did go like IPB then alot of mods, themes and staff would vanish, and the credibility of SMF would go down, smf have said from start they will be free.

Besides for being better in its own ways SMF is unlike IPB as they will stay free.

Nope, not like IPB. With that, Matt Mecham was really the only official person saying anything about being free. Look at the boards here, almost all the staff members here have committed to keeping SMF free. Those in the LLC are dedicated to keeping SMF free, the coders are, all the team is. Because of the license, there will probably always be someone shouting "IPB!", but that just makes the team more dedicated to showing why it won't go that way. (But please don't do it too much, it gets annoying after a while.)

The software naturally advancing means it's like IPB... how? I don't see a connection.

IPB was free until version 2.0 was released (although 2.0.0 was up for about a week under an "unlimited trial" before the download was pulled). The only similarity I can see is that SMF will be having a 2.0 version, but that could be said of a lot of software (phpBB had a 2.0 too, as did Firefox, Gnome, Debian Linux, etc.)

Yes, exactly my point. ;) :)

I don't understand why anyone is comparing it to IPB, specifically in the sense that IPB went paid. Why, SMF happens to be forum software and the next version happens to be 2.0? Sorry, I don't see a connection. ;)
