Charles Capps said:There's also the whole feature consideration going on... as stated many times before, the 1.0 release won't have much in the way of new features. It borrows the best from both Classic and Threads, so each side will get a few new things... but nothing really, honestly new.[/]
Some things that are missing which come to mind:
- Paid Subrscriptions, with "privileges" based on membership level. Like many folks, we need to monetize our forums.
- More granular group-based permissions for things such as sigs, avatars, posting pix and to help with the item above.
- Integrated Gallery (even if the Gallery is extra $$$).
- Better PM management - ie CC, To: many people, limits based on group.
- Time-out/time-based ban.
- Topic preview.
- Statistics!!!! I hope these find their way back into UBB.New V1.0.
These are out-of-the-box features in other software that come to mind.
If you know something the rest of us don't Allen, do share with the class so we can have a more enlightened discussion. Otherwise we can merge the existing Classic/Threads featurelist and compare that to their competition and make up our own minds.... errrr I meant to say "speculate".
