i agree, very nice looking theme.. and it works great too. the colors are perfect and i love the way it adapts to the screen (would be even better if it was fully responsive) thanks for the release and continuing to improve it! gonna try to think o…

I found this theme at Vanilla Skins that they say is responsive, but there is no demo link so I haven't been able to test it out.. I think having a responsive forum is very important due to all the people on smart phones and tablets these days.. if …

I installed Wordpress, then created a folder titled "forum" and dropped my Vanilla install into that. Then all you have to do is theme the forum to match your Wordpress theme, and your all set from an SEO perspective

I am using a customized version of Public vForg on my real estate forum, take a look it's pretty clean and appealing http://talkbcrealestate.com/
-
I like the VanillaPress2010 Theme (works with latest version of Vanilla) and the Public vForg Theme (needs updating)
-
I love the fact that it shows the file type.. I was trying to modify the original to do this as well
-
maybe @ddumont can help, he has it on his forum http://forum.canofsleep.com/
-
yeah, it still works with the latest version of vanilla though.. not a lot of themes to choose from bro :P
-
thanks for this.. how do i define the page that search results appear on? default setting doesn't work
-
way too many questions dude.. why not just try out vanilla and compare for yourself. i switched my student forum from vb to vanilla and ppl were quite upset about it. they said it didnt feel like a forum anore but i really hated how slow and bloate…
-
this is awesome! definitely reduces the need to integrate vanilla with a seperate cms
-
It's just a Vanilla theme designed to match with the default Wordpress theme. See it here. I don't like to use embedding because then the forum threads don't get indexed properly with the rest of the site. Go with Wordpress/Vanilla or Vanilla/Nilla…

Thinking out loud are we?

for demo purposes you can now see it on my student forum, which is running vanilla 2.0.17.8 http://talksfu.ca/forum/discussion/8067/chem-121-tutor-wanted
-
i like the fact that we are having such a productive discussion over a seemingly minor detail.. another reason why Vanilla is head and shoulders above the competition

nice looking theme :)
-
i think spam and abuse should be rolled into one link that is simply "flag" that way it will clear up one space for "reply" that should do that trick. @Douglas_Thor thanks for pointing that out!

@zippylistings There are a lot of businesses on campus, and the plan was to approach them to advertise on the site, but I graduated before I had the time to do that. So now I advertise my own services on there for the time being :) If you are worki…

@Todd I'm not sure why it happened, but I did it when the importer was first released. It was a bit of a tradeoff at the time, but search engine traffic is strong now so I'm guessing it was some sort of pagerank issue on Google's end.
-
@Anonymoose I've thought about that, but there are a lot of prospective students that visit the forum as they are researching which university to go to, so they wouldn't have a university email yet. Especially those students who come from out of pro…

@x00 the tricky part when you first start a new community is the classic chicken and egg question. First you have to get people to visit the forum, and then you have to get them to participate in discussions. If your forum has no members, then they …

@Douglas_Thor I use a website called Twitterfeed, which is really easy to set up and use with Vanilla. Twitterfeed lets you post any RSS or Atom feed to Twitter automatically.. I just used the default RSS link that every Vanilla forum comes with ht…

@Todd I didn't know you were from Vancouver?
-
@Todd 1. initially i spread it by dropping flyers around campus, and optimizing my forum for the keyword "sfu forum".. once ppl started using the forum and creating threads, those threads got indexed in google and the long tail started bringing in …
-
@candyman I was using vbulletin since 2006 (at the time it was the most popular and most feature filled forum software available, but over the years it became outdated). i switched to vanilla in 2010.. the clincher for me was the mobile functionalit…

Can't wait
-
not worth the effort in my opinion
-
the default theme may seem kind of weak, but the easiest way to remedy that is to embed it in any other html theme of your choice.. instant gratification
-
there is a plugin that allows you to enable anonymous posting.. i am currently using it on talkSFU
