Hi Ted, thanks so much for the feedback!At the moment subforums is just one of the ways to categorize a post. You could just use categories or even hashtags inside the post, however we will expand the Subforums functionality to allow giving access to specific user groups, and even exclusive subforums for paying members. Those are still in development though.Email Branding is a feature also under development and if you’re part of our Premium Plan you’ll be able to customize the email branding once it’s implemented.Thanks for all of the suggestions, we’ll take note of that and work on improving them!If you’d like to you can leave suggestions and vote for features on our <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://beam.gg/roadmap">Roadmap!</a>

I definitely love the simplicity of this layout but there’s a few things I can imagine will get confused by the general public of our community. <ul><li>I’m yet to think of a use case where the sub-forums make sense over just using categories. Plus I think subs are hidden away and people making posts wont understand the use case.</li><li>When I post Anonymously, I can’t go back and edit my own post</li><li>Clicking on the Image tab at the top doesn’t show posts WITH images, only those posted under image but you can still post an image under text and write something plus add hashtags which makes more sense, leaving the image tab redundant</li><li>No ability to send emails from our own SMTP or whitelabel them</li></ul>

👋  Say hello
