There is no private messages feature in Askbot. One could conceivably install a private messages app along side Askbot as a Django package. Here's one such package that might work:

I don't have any experience with this so I cannot speak to its attributes.

Thanks. That was the issue.

I am installing for the first time on a Windows machine. I first installed Python 3.6 and verified PIP is working fine. However, in following the instructions to install using PIP, I get the following error:

C:\Askbot>pip install askbot Collecting askbot Downloading askbot-0.10.2.tar.gz (8.1MB) 100% |████████████████████████████████| 8.1MB 156kB/s Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info: Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 1, in <module> File "C:\Users\MyUser\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-build-eukbfsgi\askbot\setup.py", line 135 ********************""" ^ SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'

---------------------------------------- Command "python setup.py egg_info"

failed with error code 1 in C:\Users\MyUser\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-build-eukbfsgi\askbot\

Python3 support seems to be on the way, since I find many from __future__ import print_function-statements. Whats the plan? Can I help?

My site is written in Python 3 and I want to add AskBot. Unfortunately, AskBot does not support Python3. Does anyone have any creative solutions to this problem? I am considering using a subdomain but I have never tried to share a database between two websites before. Is it even possible for me to integrate AskBot with my current Django project in this way? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Firstly, I would like to thank the developers who maintain this great project.

Second, I want to use it for some projects I have in mind and would like to know what the plans are for this project's future. My concern is that what happened to OSQA will happen to Askbot. That is, the open source project stays limited in features and improvements while the commercial version (saddled with heavy pricing) gets all the love.

Thanks again for your time, energy, and expertise to maintain this great project!

The user has both Staff and Active flags set. In addition, they user also has Superuser status.

I tired 7 to 8 different times. I wasn't logging out and I believe the first account is an admin account. Is there a log I can find the root problem?

After you install Askbot, does it have a default admin login? I've been able to install it, and access the /admin login page, but don't know what username or password to use to get in there.

Thanks. That solved the problem.
