So it’s been about a year now with the new forum, any comments, complaints ?

I think it’s pretty good, certainly an improvement on connect. I still miss NNTP when I’m working away from the internet, but I’m sold on it. The search is pretty good too which is important.
I think this forum is great. It is easy to use. Although it would be nice to be able to put tags, could do better searches and queries with tags.

Done. Now all I need is suggestions for tag names: this tagging plugin doesn’t let normal users create new tags, but it does let people tag.
Each command of the languages can be a tag (case, if, let, var, await, … ),
also the following words: bug, visual studio, oxygene, c#, android, net, iOS, silver, objective-c, delphi, feature, cooper, echoes, …
Yes, it’s a nice forum. Much better then the old RO Connect.
A bit better it could still be, if the where optional choosable sub-categories for each category.
(Elements > Oxygene, RO C#, Silver, OSX, iOS, WInForms, ASPX, Android, Java …)
(Oxygene > OSX, iOS, WInForms, ASPX, Android, Java …)
(RO SDK > OSX, iOS, Windows, Delphi, .Net, Java …) and so on.
If that sub-categories were visible in the Topic lists, I could (for example) directly open the “elements - iOS” topics and ignore anything with a Java sub-category. Currently I open them all and skip the Java related topics without reading them.
I’m hoping the tagging plugin can help with this. Atm it doesn’t show in the main overview but I think that’s probably a good feature to have.
I would like to remove some categories. I have several muted but that doesn’t seem to go far enough.
Otherwise I like it.
