    I'm using Vanilla for this forum. It's nice and lightweight but requires extensions for almost all forum functionality. Let's keep a running list of feature requests, suggestions, bugs, etc and I'll get to them one at a time.

    ETA-And apparently I can't use the quote function...is it not enough just to hit the quote button, or am I just challenged in some way?

    You have to make sure that when you post the reply, it's set to format as html at the bottom.

    Just click "Start a new discussion" up in the top-left of any page. Clicking it while browsing a specific category will default the thread to that same category, if not you must select one yourself.

    Really minor:
    So, if you look at where I quote Dram in the Nietzsche thread, the space before the emphasized word (there in the original post) is gone in the quote. Also saw it where Dram quoted Flanked in the Mass Erect thread: just before a link a space dropped out. Dunno if it's a Vanilla thing you've got no control over...

    Is there a way to get notifications of new posts for individual threads/discussions? I see I can get notifications for threads I start, but I'm wondering about getting them on other ones.

    Request:

    Look down at the bottom of the thread. See that Back to Discussions link? Could that "Back to *insert threads category here*"?

    I guess I'm just used to vB/phpBB style boards. Thanks.

    I dont think I can change that, but I will look. in the mean time you can use the category drop down in the sidebar to navigate quickly.

    The "Friendly URL's extension is breaking the PM's. I tried to turn off Friendly URL's and it broke the settings page. Now I can view the setting or approve new users. Im just getting deeper and deeper.

    Still working on it.

    Actually I corrected my stupid ass mistake. Private messages are still borked, though.

    @Arcys
    if you want to help, I need to know how to get the Vanilla Private Messages extension (which transforms "Whispers" into real private messages) to work with mod_rewrite Friendly URLS.

    Might be able to force html on comments but not on the PM's. PM's is a hack for Vanilla and doesnt currently support the quicktags, HTML or deletion.

    Click the Discussions tab at the top. That will list all discussions in all categories that have received comments since the last time you looked at them.

    I don't know if something like this addon would be useful to you. It cross posts between Wordpress and Vanilla. I don't know how well it works. This way a forum thread could act as the comment thread for a blog/comic post.

    This is by no means a show stopper or anything but I keep getting this when I post.

    A fatal, non-recoverable error has occurred
    Technical information (for support personel):
    Error Message
    Unable to send email. The SMTP server reported the following error:
    Affected Elements
    Email.ServerParse();
    The error occurred on or near: 530 5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first. l31sm6285653rvb.2
    For additional support documentation, visit the Lussumo Documentation website at: lussumo.com/docs

    My Post goes through just fine. But I thought it might be something you'd like to be aware of.
