[Update - Free Plugin] Q2A Stories - Download Link

Sat, 19 Jul 2025 16:00:01 +0000

I am currently working on developing a plugin to add stories to the Q2A. Do you have any suggestions?

The main idea is to allow users to easily add content to the site without complications, and to increase interactive content to attract more users.

Here you can see a demo example: Stories Plugin

Please note: This is a beta version, and some features are still under development. We recommend keeping a backup, as some errors may occur during installation.

Who is making profit with his q2a forum? Do you have reached a certain goal? Share your story!

It would be nice to hear about some stories. I think our main developer gidgreen would especially be happy to hear that others can make some earnings with his open source product!

Personally, I am using q2a for my maths forum that seems to become the biggest maths forum in Germany/Swiss/Austria. Without commercials / profit yet. http://www.gute-mathe-fragen.de/

Then I founded another forum for Lithuanians: http://www.klaustukai.lt/ - that is brand new and more a donation thing, as I donate money for each question answered to children homes.

So I don't make money yet but make the world a bit better, at least I try. Gideon helped me doing that. Thanks bro :o)

PS: You also want to share your story?
