Locking threads, etc.

We also need a private messaging system for our forums, if we don't want to give out our E-Mails.

We also need bbc code, and smilies

hey Jeffreycat, thanks for all the feedback, there is a Private Messaging (PM) system in place. Just click '0 Unread Messages' link across your forum Header (next to About) From there you can click 'send message' to send a PM to somebody. Soon, you'll have the option of sending a PM directly from a profile.

if you click 'switch to the visual editor' just above your reply box, you can use smiley's by pressing the 'emoticion' icon (looks like a smiley face.)

We may offer support for bbcode in the future, but between our two editors, you don't need any code. The 'smart' text editor automatically detects images and videos while the rich text editor allows you to fully markup your post by clicking on the icons.

as for locking threads, that's something we'll offer in the future.

For admin forums, at the moment, you can create another forum on lefora just for you and your admins.

Sigs are limited to text at the moment. Ranking will be available in the future. We'll be working on banning features in the future as well.

Thanks for the feedback, we're continuing to build out lefora a few pieces at a time to make sure we create a simple and easy to understand interface.

OK thanks for all the responses.

Do you have any time frames? Or is it completely up in the air? Thanks!

It's not up in the air, but we'll mention time frames on our blog as features become available.

OK, good to know. (I put the post above this one, but for some reason I wasn't signed in.)

I'm so in line with Jeffrey on this one. As an admin I would really love to be able to edit, move, and lock posts from members to keep my boards tidy. Right now they're posting all over the place and things are not where they should be, but my only 2 options are to leave them or delete them. Hoping this will change soon.
Thanks much!

We are working on the ability to move posts as we speak, we figure it should be released in a few days if all goes well. Locking posts is also in the roadmap.

I hope that these things are implemented soon. I will be very happy when that happens.

In that Vain How do I set the forums so they are visible to members only?

well then how would poeple become a member?

By being invited and accepted by one of the moderators of our board.,We wish to use this as a guild message board for one of the games we play and as such certain parts of our teams strategy must be unaccessable to the general public and only to members.

as for 'visible' to only members, that's a feature we're currently working on called 'private forums'. We're constantly building out new features.

thanks, we'll be offering fully private forums soon.

Is that going to be an option?

yes, in the future.
