ForumPress Ice Lolly

Hi guys,

I am currently developing forum software for WordPress. I'm hoping to achieve a powerful forum software similar to the stand alone forums out there.

I'm designing it so it can be:

• easily themed/skinned
• added extensions
• more control
• easy to set up out of the box
• no coding knowledge needed to make it do what you want

BBPress is very well written but it just isn't good enough compared to other forum software out there and when you want a solution inside or connected to your website/blog the options just suck.

I will be needing tester, so if you are interested let me know. Also please share your ideas and wishes!

You can watch as I build here.

This looks like an amazing project and one that looks like it will be a huge success as and when you get it released. I know many people who have been looking for forum software for WordPress that is much like the forum software out there and this would be right up their street for what they are looking for. I will be keeping an eye on your progress!

Update:

Forums are now working, although in a basic state, very little security and validation; but they work!

Next steps: Validation -> Forum User Roles -> Admin/Options

I would suggest giving us screenshots and explanations of the various parts of it all.

You've missed my point: That if you post screenshots, it gives reference of where you've come from, and the continued development on it.

Any recent updates? I'm definitely following along.

I'm afraid not but I plan on its initial release in a couple of weeks, just have to sort some security and a decent update platform for automatic updates. Unfortunately I am juggling a lot of other things and this being a free project has to come near the back of the queue.

This looks like a great project! I wish you all the best with it

This looks cool. Goodluck with your project.
