Officially Impressed
I've been playing with the Agora forum for Joomla, and came up against various issues including the usual IE6 layout foulup.
I posted on the forums and the response has been amazing. Actual developers have taken the time to query me about the nature of the problems, and one of the founders has just suggested what appears to be a perfect fix for the IE6 issue. What lovely and talented people.
Once they get it finished, the final product will be fab. I will need to restyle it / retext it quite extensively because it is pretty cryptic if you aren't used to forums - and my users will mostly never have used a forum in their lives. For example, words like index, topic etc. won't mean a thing to them, and they need a big obvious button saying "New Message" instead of a little one saying "New Topic". But this is all stuff I should be able to do. And the functionality is all really good (user maps, profiles, groups etc).
