This Forum is really a poor mans Forum.
You can't even search for your own posts
or search for a keyword by an author.
Why not use a professional Forum like vBulletin?

Another example of this poor Forum:
I can't see if a reply is from a Oxwall Forum user or a Forum Moderator
Basic functions for a Forum are really missing here

Thank for suggestions Veronica.
You are right, there are a lot of missing functions on current forum plugin. And we will add more features in next updates.
Regarding FOrum moderator answer, you can see "team" label on my avatar. On our community it means post by moderator.

Another way is to get someone to design a bridge for PHPBB and try and integrate that so users have the same username and pwd in both systems. Then design some kind of widget that will interrogate the forum and post statuses on the main page. Notification can be done either by oxwall or within phpbb. Needs development.
Or develop the oxwall forum which I think is preferential!

Yes Oxwall should have a general user authentication bridge to integrate Forums etc.
This bridge should allow for existing Forums to expand their services to Oxwall
ie the user registration data is located in the Forum user table
and also for users registered in Oxwall to access a Forum without a new login to the Forum.
A Forum for Oxwall to be called Forum must have many more basic functions than the current browse type of micro-Forum in Oxwall.
I used to moderate a big vBulletin Forum where my tools were:
Todays posts listing of all subforums
Posts created since my last login in all subforums
In all listings an indicator where I have partcipated in posting in the thread
as well as a listing with all my threads started by me
and all threads where I have been posting
Thread listing backwards ie last post listed first
so you don't have to scroll 200 posts to read the last post
Link to make all posts marked as read without actually reading the post
As a Moderator I used thread splitting a lot because users tend to post new questions in existing threads
so you can create a new thread for the user breaking the rules and include if any replies to his/her post
This will make the Forum easier to read for all users
Pre listing of a post before publishing is also required as Google will eventually pickup a post before editing is finished with funny results when users search via Google
There are many more requirements for a decent Forum this is my start of the requirements listing
