@Dan Dascalescu been trying out Vanilla Forums for the last few hours since it won some prizes recently and I need a nice forum board that integrates with my website nicely and supports some oauth stuff (facebook/twitter/google), but this must be one of the crappiest forums I’ve ever tried tbh. Nothing works properly with it and it’s full of fail.
