donamor, I downloaded the free version during early morning hours, actually, I didn't go to bed until 7:00AM and I really like it. There are other social networks and I'm a member of 4 but I do not like the format/layout/template as much. You can do some CSS changes but you pay monthly for ad-free and other features. I can live with the free one but would rather have no ads etc. I don't even want Google adsense on my site. I can't find anything missing. I think it's a full-feature version with all see more the developer credits and ads. I'm a newbie and like you, enjoy learning this stuff. For the life of me, I couldn't figure out how to login in the admin panel. I kept typing what should have worked and then I looked at the files again. I had not uploaded the admin file! *LOL* I still need help with the cron work and CHMOD stuff but will check the forum out. I think you'll like it, donamor, ads included. :)
