Hello,



I've installed Kunena Last night (worked till 6 o' clock in the morning)on Joomla 1.6 on a Linux Ubuntu 11.04 Server and it Installed and Works like a Charm Man!

I've been testing and playing with the latest versions and I can see that you people have made great improvements to the script..



In One Word: Fantastic!



You saved my Life.

I've been waiting so long and especcially for this App.

I've also installed the Kunena Discuss plugin which communicates with the Forum and it works great. It creates such a great communication facility.. I'm telling you!



You know, Words are not enough to express my gratitude, for I know how much time, energy and love it takes to create this peace of digital Art!

Not a Million, but a Kabilion ThanX for this Creation!



Keep up the Good Work my Friends!

Respect!

God Bless You All!!!

Stay in Touch!

I remember when I first started using Joomla a year or two ago and I could never really find a forum that would 'just work.'



I would spend -hours- trying to get some kind of bridge, edit or 'fix' to allow my site users seamlessly hop back and forth between the site itself and the forums. It was impossible.



Then, out of the Darkness, came Kunena. Kunena is hands down, the easiest, simplest, most feature-rich-bang-for-your-FREE-buck you can get!



I love it! Never again will I toil with other, complicated forum 'solutions.'



I know next to nothing about CMS, Joomla, web-design or anything of that nature and this extension is definitely newbie friendly. V1.6.4 is faster and sleeker then 1.6.3 - I noticed immediate and distinct differences in speed and execution. Pages are built and displayed faster and support is excellent.



If you are new to this kind of thing or an old hat at it - and you use forums, you need Kunena, you need it today.



Feel free to get in contact with me regarding any questions or concerns.

Very easy to setup, integrates well with CB, I strongly recommend to install it from URL (I've had some issues installing it from pc)

There is no other word for this great component, i'm really amazed with such a program, so enhanced and so easy to use and configurable, you can almost configure any thing, i saw nothing like this in hole joomla site, there is only one more forum componet in this site for J16 and compare to this( is really not compareable), i recommend this to every one who wants a proffosional disscussion forum,

and here i want to thanks to hole development team for a great great job,

and it's free too, for such a component you have to pay around 1000$ ( i think, just comparing with some commercial plugins)



Thanks again

i had a problem with my joomla template, which broke the template of the kunena default template.



the support team of kunena helped me to get a solution for my joomla template and made the template work. For a free Component, they have one of the best support teams. In some other payed components the support is much worse.



Resumee:

The best board component with friendly, fast and compentent support.

I needed a forum that was a)simple to install and configure, and b)private - only registered users may view and access. This extension was perfect!

The documentation is well written and thorough. The forum for their forum is thick with developers' and users' input. I received a quick response to one inconsequential issue.

THANK YOU KUNENA!

This is a GREAT extension. I had do manually add some CCS coding to my main CSS file (color changes). But did so with the help of the forum experts!! Great extension and great support!!

Thank you!!

Kunena offers everything you can expect from a forum application, with seamless integration into Joomla.

The back-end admin panel is very complete and offers many options to configure and run the forum.

I had to migrate a site developed in Joomla 1.0 (yes it was time!) using the Fireboard component forum. I first used the migrator component with the Fireboard migrator plugin to backup the old content. When I've installed Kunena in the new site, it asked me if I wanted to restore the Fireboard content or proceed with a virgin install. And voila done!

Well... Almost ;) There is something that's not clearly explained in Kunena docs. It needs Mootols 1.2 to install and run properly. Which means that you have to enable the System - Mootools Upgrade (mtupgrade) plugin in Joomla plugin manager. Without it, the Kunena installer will end up with an awful php error :(

Apart from that little trick it's definitely a 5 stars component.

After experiences with ccBoard and Agora, I found myself without Joomla native forum options but Kunena. And it is a very powerful, impressive forum system: highly configurable, avatars support, etc.



But Kunena lacks support of user groups. After looking at its support forum, this seems to be the major complaint for some years now. The forum users are classified according to the quite-limited Joomla . I hope this choice can be re-considered someday.

Absolutely excellent! Faultless so far and coupled with 'ArtofUser' a perfect solution to control access to selected forums.



The efforts of the developers is greatly appreciated.
