Support is unfortunately a little infrequent if I'm honest - Nao and I between us do support (though I don't know it nearly as well as he does, of course) but we're both very busy with real life at the moment, and of course the SMF fork is taking a lot of time too.

I don't remember there being a button for YT videos with Aeva 7, that it just autoembedded from the URL without need of a button.

You mean like a mutant version of SMF API and SSI?

I never saw the plugin, but it can't be good for the server if you have a lot of stuff going on.

And really, if you have an issue with SMF itself, this is not the place to ask (as the board description says). It sounds like SimpleSEF has really done a number on your install, SlammedDime should be the one to help you.

Well said indeed - there's just one thing I want to pick up on.

Once SMF 2.0 Gold is released, you could just make a special patch, that would incorporate all your efforts into a single bundle. We could just use it via the package manager and also maybe add your own Package servers to the existing list, so that we can easily browse and use your updates.

Well, it would have to be a totally unmodded 2.0 gold with no custom themes in order for it to work and it would be modifying every single file in SMF and adding numerous more. We're not a small change on top of SMF, we're a colossal change, with so many changes it's unreal.

Without wishing to point fingers, I have to say I'm honestly curious to see what SMF 2.1 or 3.0 will look like since they are firmly campaigning to be a forum and not anything else, which does make me wonder what new things there are to add, because virtually everything they could look at is really a social feature rather than a discussion one.

Oh and in answer to your question about password protecting a gallery, edit the album in question and enter the password in the last option in the privacy section (near the bottom)

Nao, sure that's true to a point: mostly what we're adding right now is stuff we've thought of and wanted to do, some tweaks of that have come from friends of ours, though.

Certainly for 1.0 we're building it exactly how we want it to be, rather than because anyone is telling us it *must* have something. The only things it *must* have are things like boards, topics, posts, members, because without that you don't have a forum. Everything else is a bonus, and some people want more like a CMS than a forum, and to be honest, that's not the direction I see us going down. It gets away from the forum/blog/social direction we're going in.
