Forum upgrade?
Remy Lebeau:
Not sure where is most appropriate to post this...
This forum is still using SMF 2.0.19, which is almost 3 years old. SMF is now up to 2.1.4, which was released over a year ago. Is this forum ever going to upgrade?
One feature this forum could use is @user mentions. There are mods available for that in older versions, but I also understand it is actually implemented natively in 2.1.
Joanna:
I’m happy with the forum as it is. It works on my old machine unlike the bug tracker

I'm fairly happy with it as it stands, but presumably an @user would send some sort of notification to a user if he is mentioned... is there a risk that this could be abused to drag somebody into a thread in which he'd rather not be involved, with no ability to resign?
Does any version of SMF allow a user to resign from a "thread from Hell" which he'd incautiously joined? I appreciate that this could be inadvisable, since it would allow somebody to be deliberately provocative (e.g. by telling Joanna that she needs to learn how to use the bug tracker :-) and then escape the consequences.
Could the [1] [2] [3] ... [all] setting be enabled, so that it's possible to get a full picture of a thread on a single screen?
Apart from that I would like to say that having rooted around the entrails of such things in a fair amount of detail I consider SMF to be pretty good, although there's likely to be some pressure to consider something like Mastodon in the future. An overwhelmingly important consideration is that there should be some way to generate a URL (strictly, a URI) for a specific message that looks the same to all users, which is where- in particular- NNRP falls down.

Roughly translated: at present, forum posts may be read (but not necessarily created) in a browser with Javascript disabled. FWIW, I agree that that's highly desirable.
