Important Kunena 1.5 - Joomla 1.5 native - Status

I just try out Agora 3.0 Olympus and i have to say is pretty good, is using joomla 1.5 native. It have the much more function for a good forums, Quick Post, Grouping with control, Multi Image & File Attachments, User Personal upload folder with diskspace control, Search plugin for Joomla search, Polls, integrate Social Bookmarks and more. Their installation is slim and easy with easy to understand admin interface.

What Agora 3.0 is short for is jomsocial integration, it can only link back to your jomsocial profile from forum, no jomsocial PM with the forum and i unable to get jomsocial avatar to link up and there also bugs for the current Agora 3.0 versions.

Personally i have much faith on kunena native, given that it only start working from the old fireboard in a short period and the 1.0.8 is good enough for most users, Looking forward to the next native version.

Jomsocial integration is on the way for Agora 3.0 so that will no longer be an issue once that happens.

Agora just look bad, I simply don't understand why nobody made a good template. The template which they use by default is pure crap (and i'm talking about olympus here), it looks totally unprofessional and looks bad in many many joomla templates. Of course I can create my own but it's not the issue here.

No more Agora posts please. Any second it will turn into a Kunena VS. Agora discussion. Frankly it has nothing to do with the topic and I just don't want to hear it.

On viewing the SVN and the ongoing work into bringing the component to becoming 1.5 Native, I am happy to wait for a good working component with no bugs. Rather than finding out that the job has been rushed and the Native result is laden with bugs.

Allow the devs the time to work on producing a smooth, reliable and bug free Kunena 1.5 Native component, which hopefully will allow the current and future dev team to consider improving some of the features within Kunena.

Kunena 1.5.0 Alpha went into testing tonight. As soon as we get some feedback and a feeling about its stability we are planning to release a public Alpha/Beta of it.

Have a great day!
