I have been using this APP for more than 4 years, and the customer service support is usually relatively fast, but recently I have encountered several problems that have not been resolved. I can't receive the email verification email; because the forum started to receive a lot of spam posts, I had to turn on the 'Prevent unverified users' function, but this function only works for new users. For old registered users, they need to re- Send an email verification email to activate the user. But when I tested "Send verification email", I couldn't receive the verification email at all, and I still couldn't get a solution after calling customer service. This actually brings a new problem: for old users of the forum, once I enable the 'Prevent unverified users' function, all old users need to resend the email verification email to activate, but it is not included in the user's profile at all. For the "Resend Email Verification" entry, only administrators can perform this action. The best approach is to allow users to "Resend Email Verification" themselves. Once I address these few issues, I will revise this review to 5 stars. === I received a response from the support team and the "Verify email" feature was added to the profile, 5 stars!

This forum development is completely abandoned as is the shopical app from the same developer. Support doesn't exist and these apps are no longer developped. The app would be a winner but right now it is just a basic bulletin board. It does it's job at a basic level but don't expect too much. I would have given 5 stars if support and development existed

We absolutely love this app and cannot fault the first class customer service from Chris! I would highly highly recommend this app to anyone looking to build a community chat space right on your website and free from the "social platform" black holes. Try it and you will love it!

Support is too slow. One has to keep figuring out how to use the app. My customers are not able to use the app seamlessly.
