Is this working without any edits ?

downloaded + uploaded + configured = awesome..

This rocks dude.... I suspect I am going to have fun and games re usernames, but given the proportion of my members who actually contribute, i can live with the chaos

Thanks. -- Rik

Rick, set your forum cookie domain to '.yourdomain.com'

@dadel80, i would do the same and it should be fine.

Ok, I've gone through the entire feature list of this product and it seems awesome. The only thing that is stopping me from installling right now is the inability of the forum to automatically create links to articles from text people post in forums, blogs, social groups, etc.

This would be an awesomely powerful addition... plugin?

Thanks Bepe!

I've already searched for a way to do it by ID, funny thing is that now with the final of 1.16 it looks like it is possible... I'll look into it

If you do find a way to do it via ID, please let me know. If we could get a reliable link going between our forums and wikis...that's a solution we'd pay for.

I have multiple forum styles on my site. All but one of them the text color is fine. Is there a way for me to check the text color for just that one forum style.

EDIT: Disregard I figured it out.

[Grimsqueaker]

Has anyone experienced the following when trying to upload files into the wiki ??

Sorry! We could not process your edit due to a loss of session data

I have another wiki, same version, on the same server which operates with no errors so it is not an issue with php.ini

EDIT: thought i had a solution but not

[bferrell]

Yes, I had to log out and back in, then it processed fine.
