It's easy to use. The community manager plugin makes it a breeze for me to manage users, groups and rules. I've been able to customize everything that I need. I dislike that you can't see all of the topics in one place. That makes finding things a little harder if you don't know where to look. But since there are so many features to explore, it doesn't bother me too much. I would recommend this product to anyone looking for a simple forum package. You will be happy with this product, as long as you are willing to learn how to use it. I am setting up a blog community, where members will be posting their blogs.
