Hi there Sozzled
You've been very helpful with your advice on the Joomla Forums,
and I discovered your Forum after researching issues I was having with the Kunena
on their forums, anyway, I know you are the right person to offer me some good advice,
I was reading your 2015 post 'A Tale of 2 Forums' and it made me ask the question myself
if maybe I should look for alternatives in the first place which could solve my issue - I was unaware of any alternative forum products
Q1 - So if you were to do a quick review of Kunena 6.0.11 (the latest) also running Joomla 4.3.1 (also the latest)
would you recommend I stick with Kunena or is Chronoengine still comparatively better ( judging by the scores you gave them in 2015 ) ??
one main issue that seems to be a problem with Kunena is
when I'm online the Profile status does not seem to update
I'd like users to know if other members are online - it can look like a ghost town despite many 'guests' online
I'm not sure why the Joomla 'Whos Online' module correctly displays # Members + guests online,
but yet the Forum will display differently - ' 0 Members & # guests online ' which seems inaccurate
this may make sense as maybe because they are not currently in the Forum section of my site
except that when I am viewing the Forum section it still will not change my status
and my profile will say 'Offline' ... even when I try to choose 'Online'
I really wanted to integrate the Kunena user profile/info with the Joomla user component
and in some way I have, I do not want to have to choose between either, I'd like both
which is a shame
Q2 - is there something I'm not doing right regarding Forum member online status, is there a solution?
(I'm not committed to Kenuma if there is a better alternative - I've disabled my 'privacy badger' in case but still no joy )
- Thanks in advance
