Revainrating 5 out of 5

This is a very easy to use forum software.

The user interface is intuitive and responsive. It's flexible enough to make use of any design style. I love the drag and drop functionality for setting up a new theme and the back end dashboard has excellent overviews. All features work well together and everything fits into place perfectly.I like how the forum software supports multiple languages.I love how well supported the forum software is.It has good security features.All the documentation and videos are available.Support is awesome! A great community-driven project which makes it fun to help develop and maintain such an active open source application.The developer/community relationship is really great - they listen closely to feedback and take action quickly.Very useful feature set (and lots more).Great documentation & training material.Good search capabilities.Excellent mobile applications.Lack of testing tools though (not very helpful).Lots of little bugs.

Pros
  • It is easy to use with great user interfaces
  • It provides many different ways to do things
  • There are several add-on modules and plugins
Cons
  • No GUI controls like visual controls or tables to manage queries
  • Some modules don't work with some versions of Apache/MySQL and others may require additional software
