I'll say I spend more time here on the forum reading than I actually log into the client, but it's incredibly difficult to have a great experience here. This what I assume to be zendesk forum isn't very user friendly. Would enjoy it quite more if we had Invision Community. I mean, even Second Life got it. I'm sure many users will agree it'll be a great switch.

Macronomicus It would be nice eventually, though im not sure invision community is the best option, maybe it is, I dunno. Personally id build a custom drupal 8 thing, but thats me lol. The SL forums were a huge improvement, it is nice, but everyone has that system, so its not as shiny I guess hehe, at least the Sansar thing feels custom, that to me feels better, even tho it needs more features.

nebulae If a switch is to occur, I vote reddit.
-
Daddy Sansar can always have a reddit alongside for users who use reddit, but for the platform here itself, switching to a proper forum would be nice.
-
Macronomicus yeah, I wonder, perhaps this forum they're using already has more features they could enable? Its possible. There are a ton of other options out there too, its no easy task to choose lol.

Daddy Bumped once again as this is something I feel is needed.
-
Agustine If you all interested really serious contact me on discord. Just maybe I may setup a VBULLETIN community forum...
-
Gindipple Any forum system would be better than this one
But please move the documentation part to a proper wiki....
-
Agustine I recall someone did start an unofficial wiki at https://sansar-creators-tips.fandom.com/wiki/Sansar_Creators_Tips_Wiki ....and I know Oldvamp has his own resources... there's really resources scattered everywhere and the easiest thing that can be done is put them all in a links resource page sticky on discord and Sansar website. As for forum am guessing people want a more organized community with sections directing users to the information they are looking for with easy way to search...
-
Daddy I'll say Invision is far better than vBulletin in all my years of using both, but even that would be better than what they are using now. Would be easier t customize and a better experience.
-
Agustine ....the only issue am concerned is whether users will really use it cuz the wiki someone made no one uses it to fill more information into it...many creators have their own preferred platform to upload tutorials and guides. so, so, the best thing Sansar can do is collect, index, sticky all those scattered resources onto discord and their website...

Gindipple Talking about something like this http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Category:LSL_Functions
All information in one maintained concise spot that is well organized.
Scattered resources is what Discord is, it's what this forum is.
-
Daddy Don't think scattering resources on Discord is a good idea. Not everyone uses it. Many would be kept out of the loop with certain things.
-
Andrew Lawrence I agree, Gindipple and Daddy, I've been hoping for an official Sansar Script wiki for the last 2 years.
-
Agustine ...a nice professional forum like Invision/Vbulletin costs money so the question arises how will it sustain itself, pay for itself.. have ideas? .There is possibility that discord can be embeded into the forum as well..
..

Daddy In whatever they're doing it with the Second Life forum. They're using Invision there, so don't see too big of an issue getting that started. Far as I know.. what they're using now, zendesk, it's not free as well. Correct me if I'm wrong with that.
-
Agustine ....theres more discussion about it on Discord.... Gind suggested they should add a Sansar section at SL forum and I think thats more economical for those of you wanting a forum... or checkout: https://www.virtualverse.one/forums/forums/sansar.20/

DGMurdockIII these forums suck and we need a wiki see how useful it is for second life why not here
-
Daddy Almost a year later and I am now bumping this once again. This current forum still sucks.
