SocialEngine Development News

We're pleased to announce the release of a fully integrated forum plugin! Forums had been one of our most requested plugins and this addition adds to our extensive lineup of plugins designed to encourage interactivity and discussion to your social network.

Forums are a great way to generate more return traffic and interactivity within your social network. The plugin allows your users to interact with each other via threaded forum topics; users can create new topics, post replies, and attach files such as images. In addition, moderators can be appointed to help manage and organize the discussions.

Current clients will find the product available for purchase from their client area (http://www.socialengine.net/clients), while new clients can select it as part of their SocialEngine package from the order page (http://www.socialengine.net/order.php). The new plugin will be sold for $40.

You can view the plugin on our demo at http://www.socialenginedev.com/forum.php

As always we welcome any questions or comments. Please let us know if you find any bugs or have any suggestions for new features!

Thanks,
SocialEngine Team
