You're a star.  Just the updates that my users have been itching for.
I'll see if I can pop 0.9.3 on and have a go.  In terms of upgrading, am i likely to lose any current posts etc if I install it?

I'm game, I'll upgarde my sandbox install and test it out...

no, upgrade add a column to topics and recreate forum table in treemanager
BUT backup first and save new settings!

Alby,

I upgraded from Forum MadeSimple 0.9.2 to 0.9.3 in CMS 1.6.

When i do so, my website don't work anymore (front-end and back-end) and i get a message that says something like:

Could not get acces to necessary module: FrontEndUsers

I changed it back to 0.9.2 and everything works ok again.

Which version of FrontEndUsers?
I have update requirement to 1.6 (minimum) for use new features of FEU (ex: login with email)

I love the FMS because it's clean and easy to use...

I have a question - is it possible currently to display new posts to a user since their last visit?

I saw in the images there is actually an image for that and wonder if it's an option I've missed.

Thanks;
Bob

No, in this moment there is not a time store for user necessary for new post per user

Thanks for the quick response... I have only one more silly question...

How about subscribing to a thread? Is this available or something you may add later?

Thanks again;

Available no but possible with UDT
Maybe later ...

Just a suggestion (not sure where you prefer to have it: here or in forge)

I have created a page with page alias "forum". On viewing my forum I have the url:

Code: Select all

http://mydomain.com/forum/forum/forum/2/1/21

A little bit too much forum for my taste OK, I can remove the first forum by changing the alias of the page to e.g. community then I have

Code: Select all

http://mydomain.com/community/forum/forum/2/1/21

Probably you can solve it by renaming the first or second "forum" in board, e.g.

Code: Select all

http://mydomain.com/community/forum/board/2/1/21

Or omit the page alias at all.
Or replace the first "forum" with page alias.

It is nothing about functionality, just about "people friendly URL"

[alby]

Code: Select all

http://mydomain.com/forum/forum/forum/2/1/21

I know Sonya 
but it's because we have: site_url/alias/module/current_action/id/pagenumber/returnid
with alias=module=current_action=forum

How you say I can think to rewrite current forum action display in "board" but module is "fixed"

Or it would be perfect enough, I think

One question: is there any reason for not having XML installation file? So that the last version of the module can not be installed from Module Manager?
