Toby Is this the main beta 7 release? Are there release notes?

Nothing on Git? ?

      "A web installer is also planned for the stable release"

      This will be a game changer ?

        knat No doubt about it. It'll definitely hit the Internet big time.

          Pilvinen The biggest flaw right now seems to be all the missing features that would actually make Flarum usable:

          User management

          +1 for this.

          Beta 6 is very stable and useable. However, if you want to manage a community, control who signs up and search and delete users easily, you'll have problems.

          But it works, thx for the beta update.

              This is awesome project! Keep going guys, i see lot of useful and functional platform here. ?

              We all look forward to beta 7, keep up the good work guys! ;-)

              edco For the time-being of course. Once Flarum is stable there will be many more features that are deemed necessary for a forum. ?

                Really looking forward to the next release with installer. It'll be huge! ?

                I really like the look of this forum - and the way it works come to that. What are the pitfalls of using in 'live'? Should I use it then what would be the best way to manage it? Avoid doing what? I'm not really interested in building up a thriving community but just to post stuff and get replies so keeping it simple will work?

                No worries. Found the info I need above.

                  AFAIK the biggest hurdle right now for going live is the lack of user management tools - there's no way to see who has registered to your forums until they post. You can ban them after they have posted but before that - there's no user list where you can select, delete and edit users.

                  Then there's nothing to prevent forum spam.

                      MarkJones there is a plugin that is able to do all that. Also had the same problem in my forum but later on I snooped around and i found extensions that made flarum into something cooler.
