Textile 2.0 as used in the newest Textpattern release is up on Threshold State here: http://textile.thresholdstate.com/

File: http://textile.thresholdstate.com/file_download/2/textile-2.0.0.tar.gz

Some nice additions in it that would be great to see in aC.

Wow, holy misplaced commas batman. I can't seem to edit the post either.

This new forum software is certainly striving for, umm, minimal.

Fixed, thanks.

Btw, it is minimal because I don't have time to make anything fancier. Give me some time ;)

I like that minimal style (the old Bauhaus philosophy: form follows function).

The only thing I am missing is the user pictures which makes the forum a little more personal.

BTW: the time stamp is wrong and I can't find any option to set the time zone (no showstopper but somewhat annoying)

Hah, you coded your own forum software in between working on ac and redeveloping the site?! Wow, you really are something else Ilija. Nice work!

Also, if we're going for Textile in aC, why not keep it consistent and have the formatting in the board done by Textile as well?

Yeah, I know. Avatars and timezone settings will be added when I find some time to work on it. The most important thing is that everything is working... We'll work on the details later on.

Making the forum is part of the website development. User database and accumulated content are stuff that needed to be integrated with the website. Other just followed...

I've left UBB because there is >4000 UBB coded messages in the old database. Maybe I write a script that will "re-code" UBB to textile or cache old posts as HTML. We'll see.

Btw, I think that most users feel UBB natural for forums. Maybe Textile will confuse them? Other possibility is to kill Textile and use limited UBB in the comments too. Its all about consistency...

Thanks for clearing this up, I was just wondering too...

Especially the "my subscribed threads"-page, e-mail notifications and the forum search function are the features that I'm missing the most.

But as with other optimizations here before, I'm waiting patiently and believe in your vision of creating an open source community around aC. I like your idea of integrating the different sections into one page, one can feel "a great whole" coming up step by step.

power to you dude,
Gabriel

Search is added (report back if you find any problems with it).

Subscriptions will be added site-wide when I find some time to work on that (you will be able to subscribe on forum topics and comments). Users will be able to subscribe for instant notification (as soon as comment or post is added) or on digested version (sent once a day, at 8:00 at users local time).

Or something like that :) This is just me thinking out loud.

Good idea, I'd love to see that as well...

when you are working on the forum redesign: actually you will be redireted to the home page after log-in.

Can you please change that to the last page you were before log-in (this will be nice when you use a bookmark to the forum and save you some clicks to return to the forum).
