-SEO Friendly URLs

That is disabled by default . You can enable them by making the following change:

Open codoforum/sites/default/constants.php

Around line 24, replace

define('SEF', 0); //Search engine freindly urls , 1=> enable , 0=> disable

with

define('SEF', 1); //Search engine freindly urls , 1=> enable , 0=> disable

-Custom META keywords/description tag

For now, you can directly edit the template to add the meta tag .
You can edit the template header by editing the file
codoforum/sites/default/themes/default/templates/layout.tpl

-Captcha

This is already available, but we have not yet provided an option in the backend to enable it .

-Member groups

Do you want to create new groups ? Can you provide more details on how
you will be using this feature ? We will add it in our next release .

-Post Reporting - report posts to moderators

This is there in our todo list .

-Private Messaging

We have a private messaging system, but it is not yet integrated with codoforum

-Friends List

But this will also require an option to add friends in the profile page .
Can you provide more details about this feature ?

-Member Birthdays shown on Forum home

This will be integration specific , since by default birthdays of users are not stored.

-longer profile

What do you mean by this ? Do you want something more to be displayed in the user profile ? We have thought of showing the list of all recent posts made by the user .

-User banning (by name & IP)

This is already there in our todo list .

-language chooser

It is possible to create languages in codoforum , but since this forum is new , it does not not support any other language except english.

-more Template/Skins

This will take time , we will be adding more templates in the future.

-Sub category

It is already supported, you can create categories/sub-categories in the codoforum admin area .

-Help and FAQ

Do you want us to add more documentation for codoforum ? If yes, we are working on it .

-enable footer where webmasters can easily add their own extra page.

For now, you can directly edit the template in
codoforum/sites/default/themes/default/templates/layout.tpl

Necessity is the mother of all inventions!

Another thing I miss here is that when you post a reply to a topic the topic will be on the frontpage, but when you click the topic you will see only the first post. The system should track the user and send him to the last post. This is how a forum works, is all about user interaction and discussion.
Maybe, when a new post is made an excerpt of that post should be shown to the frontpage too. A mix with the original/first post of the topic and the new last post. Something like this:

And, the excerpts on the frontpage and board pages are cool, but too long. Keep in mind this should be a forum, not a news site with articles. Keep them short, 1 or 2 lines.

Cheers

'embedding webpage summary, tweets and videos' feature will be provided and we believe it is an important feature for any modern forum.

The system should track the user and send him to the last post.

But what do you think, if a new user clicks on the topic link, he will directed to the last reply and it will have no context, he will have to go back to the first page to understand what the conversation is all about.

if the user is registered, he can directly click on the new replies notification to go to the last post as shown below.

yes you are absolutely right about this, This is how imagined codoforum to be. we will also include an option where one can quickly reply to a topic without entering the topic page.

Another feature from Discourse that is very useful is Reply as a new Topic.
You can do this when you have to say more that just a post.

Reply as a linked topic
You don't want to interrupt this conversation, but a post just reminded you of a related topic you'd like to share.No problem! Use "Reply as new topic" to start a related conversation – and both topics will be visibly connected together.

You should see how the other forums handle this. Because it is realy frustrating as a active user to see everytime the same post and have to scroll down to find the new things. It is not about the new users, but about the active ones. The system should know what I have seen/visited and show me the new ones when I click the link.

And, I know about the notifications, but it is not the same thing.

can you tell me which forums do this? I will have to see how they are implemented.

reply as a new topic is in our Roadmap. Other features such as split, move, merge will be added along with it as a part of a future release.

Now we have a 15 day release cycle, so new features will be added quickly. smile

Every forums does this
E.g today I visited this topic and posted https://meta.discourse.org/t/what-is-wrong-with-phpbb/3763/
When I visited it a few minutes that forum the topic I mentioned was on the frontpage, clicket it again and it gave me this https://meta.discourse.org/t/what-is-wrong-with-phpbb/3763/80

Do you see that topic, SMF -Walking Dead? If I click that topic from the frontpage, it will send me to the post I havent seen (because I have visited it before).
The regular url of the topic is this http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=526192

When I visit it again will give me something like this http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=526192.msg3730235;boardseen#new
