Hi

Like some you I stumbled across FUD and I'm seriously impressed!

I'm about to test FUD, but have some general questions:

1. For a relative newbie to forum software/php is FUD going to be too daunting, for example if wanted to customise aspects of it?

2. How easy is it to integrate into a portal?

3. In terms of support, it seems like the development team is relatively small and the software relatively new? Just wondering about if there are plans to expand the support team? What if the main developer decided to call it a day, or their circumstances changed etc? Hope this question isn't taken the wrong way Razz

thanks

Most common template (forum.css.tmpl, header.tmpl and footer.tmpl) and pretty much CSS and HTML respectively and are very easy to customize.

Depends on the scale of integration, if you just one a single-sign-on then quite simple using existing tools.

The development team is small, which ensures highest possible code quality. FUDforum is hardly new, it's been around for nearly 3 years now. We provide commercial support for paying clients as far as free support on this forum, usually you get a pretty quick response from myself, other developers or users.

Hi again

The more I look at FUD, the more I think, WTF! why didn't I discover it before?

And actually, that's my question: given it's been going for 3 years it doesn't seem to have a big user-base, and doesn't commonly get cited in other places compared to other forum s/w.

Is it just a case of taking it easy and let its popularity develop over time at its own pace? Cool

Or perhaps needs a bit of push on the publicity side?

regards

Query for "powered by fudforum" on Google returns over 700,000 results, so I wouldn't say it's unknown Smile

Google's database is old and has outdated caches. I hate to say it but msn and yahoo searches are far more up-to-date atm.

msn search

yahoo search
Results 1 - 10 of about 458,000 for "powered by fudforum" - 0.47 sec.
