Question [Merged topic] Kunena Web Site: What Joomla extensions are used at this website (Kunena.org)?

I have plans to add something like that, but go even further with it.

Sorry to drag up an old post (I came late to the party...), but if I can offer some input to any thumbing extension you're planning to add, as I ran a website which used thumbs up/down a couple of years ago, and it got a bit messy. Some users used the opportunity to simply thumb down any post by a particular user if they disagreed with them on anything else in the forum, and little squabbles would break out just over the thumbs. Eventually I removed the down thumb, and then enhanced the 'up' thumb to show a list of which users had marked a post as 'useful' (in a roll over toll-tip, as it happened). This allow me to do extra stuff with the data over time, like have a separate view of the post 'useful' posts in a category. It turned what was developing into an ugly situation of in-fighting into a positive benefit for everyone on the forum.

There's also a nice extension to the Vanilla Forum called 'Thanks' which has some similar features, but also then on a user's profile page, it also showed the number of 'thanks' they'd received from other users, which has a nice overlap with the idea of Karma.

I wasn't thinking about Karma, more like rating individual message (1-5) with some additional features. I don't like karma for the similar reasons: people are using it for wrong purpose. And to make result better we can always remove few votes from both ends. So if the post gets 2x 1, 2x 3, 4x 4, 2x 5 we could remove 2 votes from both ends and get 2x 3, 4x 4 = 3.7 where it would have been only 3.4. So the biased votes would be discarded.

Thanks would be also nice feature to have.

Take a look in here:

Thank you very much! SVN = "subversion" (in the sense sub-version, not the other meaning - to subvert something) - version control ...

Jargon explained! Excellent. I can monitor progress there, too!

Probably a quick answer, but when I select the "Community" Tab, what software it that I'm seeing. Is this part of CB/Kunena that I'm seeing all tied into one. Is this part of the regular Kunena install that I can use.

No, this is not part of the "regular" Kunena install. This question has been answered many times before. What you see at www.kunena.com is how the site developers designed the site. If you want something similar at your site, you'll have to build it yourself.

Not true at all carterx,
Here in kunean site we use the extension jomsocial for our community, is a paid extension, you can pick it in www.jomsocial.com

Maybe what sozzled was refering is this is not a default template in jomsocial,b ut not that close from it, is the default one, that we tweaked colours to match ours
