Thank you for the feedback, but the best place to report issues is on GitHub https://github.com/Elgg/Elgg/issues.

You can also request features (like your suggestion for the registration form).

Hi @zerosandones,

thanks for your feedback. You have some valid points. Some are already mentioned as feature requests or bug reports. It would be nice if you take a look at https://github.com/Elgg/Elgg/issues and see if a feature request or bugreport already exists. If not, it would be great if you could create one per issue. This way we can keep track of all the issues.

Thank you both. I added a couple posts to the issues tracker. I did not add anything about registration spam because I see that's been discussed before. It sounds like most registration spam options involve third parties which I agree wouldn't be good for core. But, a bundled plugin wouldn't be a bad idea. An Akismet bundled plugin or something? Does Akismet work well? I've always used it with WordPress sites but, I don't really know how well it works. 

I also realized, by looking at Jeroen's reply to this post, that there isn't core mentions support. I didn't add this to the tracker either because I saw it was already discussed. But, my opinion is, even if it is very basic and doesn't even notify the user at first, mentions is a key component for this type of platform. Like I said, it could be basic at first. Roll it out in phases. First make it so that you can mention someone and it links to their profile. Then, because I assume it's harder, work on the notification part for a separate release. 

I am asking how I can get back to my liked contents in elgg org - this very site I am posting comments now. Thanks for your response - it is very helpful.

Off-topic : https://elgg.org/plugins/search?owner=webgalli and http://www.webgalli.com/elgg_plugins/ shows almost none of the plugins updated for Elgg 2.3.5. Elgg 3 beta is already available. There are many helpful plugins in your repo - will they be updated directly for Elgg 3 any time soon ? Regards.

There is no option to get the contents you liked in elgg. org -- better to bookmark interesting pages in your browser.

Regarding updating outdated plugins: We were so busy in last 2-3 years with some major projects. We will be providing elgg 3 compatible updates for popular plugins soon. 

Browser bookmarking is good but does not always sync across my mobile, desktop or office pc or any cybercafe. Elgg org has its own bookmarks BUT "like" is somewhat different type of bookmark. Its a little bit helpful if elgg org implements this feature in the site (and even in the core).

Its really great to hear your plugins will be available for Elgg 3. Elgg 3 (beta) is already downloadable, so it will be great if we can test the updated plugins now, and report to you. Many Thanks.

How can I install an anti-virus at elgg?

You don't need it.

What Anti-Virus can I use?

Can I use spamassassin when I upload files?

Can I use clamav?

Do it on your server only but not into Elgg

Currently 2.3.5 is the most recent and stable version https://elgg.org/about/download

Softaculous doesn’t recognise php 5.6 when attempting to install elgg 2.3.5 & rejects attempt. 

Nobody is having any issue installing via composer?
