In short: I love it. It works nicely, looks nice and is simple to use.

A couple of things that bother me though:

  1. Not all phrases can be translated. For some reason. 
  2. Extended Layout can only be Expanded or Collapsed but not Activated or Deactivated
  3. Big downside in my opinion: Only one attachment per post allowed. I know there is an addon, but still.

Otherwise I love it. You guys are doing an awesome job!

Cheers,

mitja

Thank you Dirichlet,

Please find my answers below:

Not all phrases can be translated. For some reason. 

Could you please specify? 99% of phrases are available in POT file and in Forums > Phrases admin page. You can translate all phrases. Menus can be translated in Appearance > Menus admin page.

If some phrase is missing in POT or in Phrases, you still can translate any phrase using Forums > Phrases admin page. Search for certain phrase, edit and put the translated value. If you didn’t find some phrase you can add it as well. Just use the [Add New] button. Please note, the key of the new phrase must be the English version, the value can be the translated version.

Extended Layout can only be Expanded or Collapsed but not Activated or Deactivated

I didn't follow you, what do you mean saying this? If you don't like this layout you can change it to others in Edit Forum admin page.

Big downside in my opinion: Only one attachment per post allowed. I know there is an addon, but still.

You can embed image URLs as mach as possible. This is a regular file attachment function.

Sure, for example (marked with yellow):

About the attachments:

You can embed image URLs as mach as possible.

Like je said, URLs. Meaning uploading your own images, like screenshots above, have to firstly be uploaded to another server and than into forum. I find that annoying.

Cheers,

@Dirichlet, about your last attachment [no file chosen] - it was explained to me that it depends on browsers' language.

Are you sure your WordPress language matches to forum language? Please check WP language in Dashboard > Settings > General admin page. Date and Time phrases should be automatically translated from Wordpress, this is not wpForo component. If your WordPress is set correctly you'll get correct translated date/time phrases.

As per File Browsing button, please read this support topic:
