Work is underway as you're all already aware on a new version, whilst we dont have a release announcement just yet, as far as I'm aware it's more of a bugfix version and a migration to the new common framework which fixes alot of issues, along with some neat tweaks and additions in places, however there will be no major feature additions or enhancements until the version after. Keep your eyes peeled for updates from Ryan in the near future for more detailed information. Sorry I dont have anything more substantial for you.

When do you guys think we will see an update to the forum? I have not made any modifications to my forum because I was hoping that some of the suggestions myself and others have made would come out in a new version. Some of the things that I think would really make this forum work much better are:

1. Add the ability for the user (in their control panel) to have the options for subscriptions to forums (Topic Subscription Notification Type). For example, have it where they can always receive e-mail once they create or reply to a topic. Currently you have to remember to do that EACH time and it's crazy.

2. Ability to ban e-mail domains. With the disposable e-mail systems out there, it's too easy for someone to create a login and verify it. Banning domains would allow better control and not make it where admin approval was the only option.

3. Better browser support for Firefox and other browsers. (file upload, increase size of message box etc)

4. The PM system is a little hard for users to understand. Add the ability to permanently delete messages or move to deleted items.

That's just a few ideas.

Thanks,

Chris
