My hat off to the developers of this fine piece of open source forum software.

This release sports a large number of improvements and functional additions. Based on my tests with v3 beta installations personal favourites include:

  • general usability enhancements
  • improvements to default forum style
  • creation of subforums
  • password protected forums
  • admin can now set global moderators
  • multiple group leaders for usergroups
  • banning by IP address (previously possible by applying a hack)
  • active topics search
  • disallow non-registered user memberlist viewing (previously possible by applying a hack)
