Hi Sam, thanks for your

Hi Sam, thanks for your offer to help. I'ld like to stay with Drupal forums for a while. Reasons for staying with the Drupal-based forum include:

  • single signon to the site and forum
  • single search facility for the whole site
  • single, consistent way of posting content to the site
  • integration of eg block of latest/active discussions on the front page
  • single, consistent look
  • lower chances of things breaking when either the website or the forum needs a (security) update
  • lower chances of causing security holes by opening connections between two systems/databases

What are the specific features of phpbb you are missing in the current forum? We can probably 'meet halfway' by implementing these features in the Drupal forums.

Is there a way to thread

Submitted by cheathamlane on Fri, 2006-08-18 00:25.

Is there a way to thread things by date posted, rather than having comment replies go under the specific comment? To me, that would make following a meta-discussion easier.

Also, is it possible to get notified when a comment or reply is posted to one of my posts?

If I've missed it, feel free to shake me down.

:)

threading

It should now possible to change the comment display options from a threaded to a flat list.

Email notification is currently a bit more tricky, we are 'shopping' for a better host, with decent support for mailers.

Ah, my little brain can stop working so hard now...

Thanks Aldo, for making the threading option possible!

phpBB non merci, but a topic

Submitted by Mickael Therer on Fri, 2006-08-18 00:51.

phpBB non merci, but a topic subscription would be nice together with a consistent threading as Patrick suggested, I'm in for that as it would make it easier to follow up discussions (I'm a punbb admin if you care to know ;-)

subscriptions

Submitted by Aldo Hoeben on Wed, 2006-08-23 11:31.

It's a bit experimental, but members can now subscribe to topics, as well as blogs, and 'categories'. These categories are basically the forums you have access to.

Well done so far. Still a bit more detailed forum structure would be great. Directing me to a LSP forum section is excellent, but the other sections are less clear. I have to wade through the single threads there.

Yours,
Michael
