It's clean and it works well for my store, www.artatler.com and art marketplace, especially if you are looking to build a light forum like mine. But I don't think it's robust enough for a heavy/extensive forum.
If I may recommend, function to login/sign up should stay within the forum itself (currently it redirect people to the store) and once signed up / logged in, it won't redirect back to the forum.
Also I feel it needs to have sort / sequence function. I needed to click the item one by one to move the sub-forum / category.
Also, ability to quickly edit the formatting i.e bold / italic/ underscore is not present (this made some consistency in input from different moderators)
But overall, this is a useful app, I use it for an add-on function for my store, not for the main function due to its limitation. It does well for a light forum.
Thank you for the app!

Thanks for the review! I'm looking into the possibility of integrating a login section (perhaps as a dropdown) into the forum itself.
For the formatting, everything is done by Markdown format. I'm looking into creating some sort of "editor" section that lets people format the posts easier. This isn't close to being released, but it's definitely in my mind for a future release.
It doesn't showup on google. If your purpose is SEO, then this won't show up on google. The main forum page will but not the inside pages or Q&A and all etc.
This forum app is very good. It is simple and easy to use. It works very well and the price is reasonable. I am giving it three stars because there are some improvements to be made including: 1) do not allow the adding of backlinks (my forum is getting spammed) 2) The image upload is not working and it would be better to have an internal image service (hosting images is not that expensive!), when a user posts anonymously, they cannot see replies to their threads. Not everyone wants to register with my shop so it would be good if they could login via the forum itself. Also, it would help to have a sitemap for Google indexing. Otherwise, a great app. Will update the review once changes are implemented.
