    I upgraded to DNN7 and have been a member of DNN Creative. I have a Church website and don't have a lot of money to spend.
    I have noticed the lack of functionality that used to come with DNN5 and what I have found with DNN7 has been sub par.
    The Form and List is the latest issue. Cannot figure out hot to re-order or insert new items. Arrows from DNN5 an 6 are missing.

    There used to be a Plain Text option but now only Rich Text which is too much for a basic form.


    There are lots of places in the module where I can find no information on what to put in there, but if you put the wrong thing it does not work. All the tutorials I have seen talk about the obvious and skip all the non-clear stuff. Nothing from tutorials on how to make the form look a little better.

    Also is a pain that all the for-profit modules advertise free so that it comes up like that in the DNN store, but really is only free trials.

    Only feedback I have found is from Joe.

    "While I have used the module a few times, I'm not a big fan. On the commercial side, FormMaster, avt ActionForm, and Dynamic Forms seem better choices.

    Is it time for me as user with a limited resource budget to switch to some other CMS? Is DNN only for the commercial space now?

    Thanks

    Hi Les,

    I haven't used Forms and List in a while either, but I don't think this is reason to give up on DNN yet

    I don't have much to contribute to your question but I strong advise to join this DNN Hang out Oct 7 - http://www.dnnsoftware.com/communit...m-and-list - They will be talking extensively about the Forms and Lists module.

    Sincerely,
    Andy
