As far as I know this is the best forum software available for rails. I look forward to finding out that it's not.
## Status
-This code has been surviving in the world for four or five years (and more, since some it originally came from Beast), but this version is about 75% new and you know what that means: new bugs. Github issues, please.

You probably also want to include this somewhere, as on all reader-service pages:
<r:if_reader><r:reader:controls /></r:if_reader>
Have a look at the included sample layout for a starting point.

+## Speed and caching
+
+This version of the forum is designed to work from behind radiant's main cache. There is no context-specific material in any of the pages or page parts visible to a normal browsing user and the comment and reply forms are normally retrieved by ajax calls after the pages have loaded. For that you need to use the provided (jquery-based) forum.js, or write your own equivalent (or for a more robust but less helpful forum, skip the ajax and let people click through to the comment or reply form).
+
+The intention is to make this behaviour configurable but at the moment I'm finding the forum pages too slow if uncached. Most of the wait comes from the shared_layouts/radius template machinery but there are some slow queries too. With optimisation a live forum should be viable.
## Private discussion
If you install the [reader_group](http://github.com/spanner/radiant-reader_group-extension) and [group_forum](http://github.com/spanner/radiant-group_forum-extension) extensions then your forums can be made visible only to designated groups, as with pages and other groupable items.
