Review on Vanilla Online Community by Higher Logic by Demetrius Holt

I'm sorry to say this, but it's pretty terrible. For starters, the installation process was horrible. I downloaded the zip file and tried to install, but it wouldn't install because it was corrupted. I contacted support and within minutes, I was given instructions to download the installer again, and this time it installed without any problems. Once the installation was complete, the initial setup wizard was awful. You're asked to choose a username, password, database, and administrator credentials. All of these fields were required, and you couldn't skip them. After choosing everything, you were taken to another screen where you could enter additional information. But if you skipped a field, you weren't allowed to continue past that point. This means you're stuck waiting while the wizard tries to figure out whether you filled in something incorrectly or not. There's also no way to view any error messages. So if you did fill in something wrong, you'd have no idea why.
