In forge there is a new version.
I put a tar.gz only because I hope that someone can test this.
Next mounth I release 0.9.4 with bugfix and xml file also

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!

  could you see the blank/confused look on my face as you typed that.....
I might leave it up to Jeremy with the testing 

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

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?
