I'm running it local now, and I'm impressed by the simpleness, yet powerful software. I'm having a few issues. When I install an extension (the attachment one) I can't get it to work on my forum.. In the settings I tick the box to enable it, and then it says it's installed.. There's no documentation on the site or in the .zip.. Anybody know what I'm doing wrong? -------------------- My Portfolio, Blog, Project and Twitter.

It's not going to be a webdesigners/seo/geeky kind of forum, So I'm not sure if my target audience will like the Vanilla interface.. -------------------- My Portfolio, Blog, Project and Twitter.

They just want a place where board members can meet up and talk about certain decisions and get their agendas and whatnot. -------------------- The Squeeze Store is now OPEN!

It's a great software for a small group of people to be in touch and talk. -------------------- anttisimonen.com - .NET developer anttis.wordpress.com - Blog

It's a great software for a small group of people to be in touch and talk. That's another thing.. How does Vanilla handle big amounts of members/threads? My dutch site alone has thousands of threads, hundreds of thousands of posts and more than a thousand members.. Can Vanilla cope with that? -------------------- My Portfolio, Blog, Project and Twitter.

There is an SEO-pack available that does a very good job SEO'ing SMF.. This is, I messed up while installing it on my new site, so I'll have to fix that. Anyway, back on topic to Vanilla! -------------------- My Portfolio, Blog, Project and Twitter.
