Hí,
I'm currently evaluating and looking into about 5 different Forum systems and got to say I'm really impressed by yours. Though, I miss a few features and would like to have some more info.
 
Would it be possible to implement a "My Forums" feature? Where users can,
 - Threads I have been active in and that's been updated since I was online last time.
 - Only show Forums I have marked as interesting for me.
 
Moderated users - need to have x posts approved until they are then auto approved.
 - I'm running a support forum for ITPro's and unfortunately a lot of homeusers posts questions in the forum. So if I could say that the first 5 posts need to be approved by moderatos and a user can then post freely it would be of great help.
 
Group icons - Icon under your name in posts if in a group.
For example, a member of Support-Group will get a Support icon below his name when he posts.
Or if member of Expert, gets an Expert icon.
Sysadmin configures the group-icons of course and an icon only shows up if one is configured for the group.
 
What's the formula behind the rating system?
If a highly rated member rates a lower user, will he get a higher boost then than if a low rated member rates another low rated member?
 
When choosing the Offset to the TimeZone, it would look better if it showed the different times in the TimeZones, so a member could chose his current time, instead of adding/removing numbers(hours).
 
What are the plans for version 3?
A Blog feature would be very nice
So would nntp support
and not to mention RRS Feeds! :)
 
And finally, I think it would make sense to allow registered users access to the Mod and Language forums, at least read. I'm interested to see which mods are available and to see if for example Swedish exists as a Language Pack already. Since I can't get the forum without paying for it I can't see why you restrict access to those areas, it's not like a nonpaying user will have any use of the files. Right?  
 
Thanks,
Markus
 

Thanks for your message, Markus. Let me answer your questions one-by-one:

1. My forum feature is available in the current version. You can take a look by going to your profile. You will see a my forum link at the top
   
2. this is something I will consider for version 3, thanks
   
3. group icon feature is available in the current version
   
4. the rating system works by accumulating the ratings of a user's posts. Say if A got rated for his posts, he will receive corrsponding scores and the total scores he receives can be used as one of the factor to determine his rank (in addition to total post count or independent from total post count - configurable in the admin control panel). You can assign different rating permission for different user groups, and by this I mean you can allow one group of users to rate posts while disallowing another group of users to rate.
   
5. Timezone - yes, this will be in version 3
   
6. version 3 - a rough idea of what version 3 will be and when it will be available can be viewed here: http://www.aspplayground.net/forum/m_383470/tm.htm More info will be available later.
   
7. I will enable read permission to the language file forum / mod forum. Swedish language file is available.

Thank you for your prompt and good reply Samuel.
I have seen and read a lot of reviews of AspPlayground and all of them have commented on how good the support is and how fast you answer, I can only agree with them.
 
Sorry for asking questions and requestiong features that obviously already is in the product, thouh I was playing around with the Demo Forum for some time and was trying to read all info I could find, and still didn't notice those feature.
Anyway, I'm a proud owner of AspPlayground in a few seconds.
