    General Changing up the tools

    hate Microsoft Word, but y'all do not need that rant for the myriad reasons why. Just... while plenty of people tolerate Word for writing, we actually have a whole fleet of tools for writing. I know this because for reasons far too convoluted to get in right now, I have a bunch of different...

    Customization Platform pain points

    If you're here, you're either running a community or looking to get into the game of running a community. That implies use of (phpBB/SMF/MyBB/XenForo/Woltlab/Invision/insert other forum platform here), and possibly something or somethings alongside it (WordPress being my obvious suspect) You...

    Case Study Writing a Writing Community

    You may have noticed that I write a lot of words. I like writing. Whether I'm good at it is another debate. But I like it. The it-must-be-six-figures-by-now forum posts I've written over the years will attest to that, along with the three completed novels, the ongoing roleplay collaborative...

    Case Study The Roleplay Forum Life

    I have lived an interesting life - very much "hello from the other side" - the roleplay life. So I want to talk about that experience, that journey and how I came to build StoryBB and why it mattered the way it did. There were some interpersonal tensions at its genesis that happened, but they're...

    Themes Gallery of SMF themes

    Random thing to share... I have a collection of SMF themes (premium ones, many no longer available) that I turned into a gallery at some point so I could look them up for reference. Might be a source of design inspiration for some folks. https://smfthemedemos.levertine.org/index.php?media/...

    Conflicts The lack of feedback, and whether it is appropriate

    Let me tell you a story. Imagine a forum. A decently sized forum, mostly ticking along reasonably happily. There's a few malcontents but nothing too serious. They also have a healthy collection of active participants who will be fairly shouty against the malcontents for daring not to be...

    Customization Invisioneer

    I don’t know if people have seen this, going to assume not, but there is a pretty interesting directory of Invision customisations on Invisioneer. https://www.invisioneer.org/marketplace/ Interesting reading for sure.

    Plugins Feature requirements help please

    So I thought I'd put this out there because I'm having a hard time nailing down exactly what the scope of the project should be. I have two concurrent projects, both interrelated. One is a forum with side content (articles, resources, reviews etc.), the other is, well, the CMS to power the...

    Does .com really matter?

    I have a domain - well, I have more than one - where I own .org and .net but not the .com. Certainly the traditional wisdom is that you needed the .com for maximum visibility but I'm no longer sure that's actually true given how many people just mash the brand name into Google and hit whatever...

    Plugins Comments *and* Discussion?

    You’re using AMS for the articles, right? Why on Earth does it have discussion (= a real topic) but also comments (under the article, not reusing the topic)? This continues to baffle me and every time I see it, I feel like this shows a flaw in thinking because it creates two places for comments...

    Domains you don't know what to do with?

    I have collected domains over the years, and some of them I have some weird sentimentality for because despite not using them, and the original project with the name it was bought for long since evaporating for various reasons... I still have domains I don't know what to do with. Firstly, is it...

    Themes Please recommend me a theme designer

    I'm looking for a theme designer. I don't care which platform they design for currently, since I'm really looking for a design that doesn't fit an existing platform, and whatever platform they habitually design for should be fine - porting it from another platform is no concern to me, but we are...
