A short notice: The reasons I have chosen to use my own forum are quite simple:
- Themeforest support threads are not searchable. Since most questions are asked over and over again a searchable forum will greatly enhance your experience since the answer to your question might already be there.
- Second Reason: people can’t respond to each other at themeforest to help each other out, which often happens on the support forums.

A very nice theme. I am considering purchasing it for a black and white photography website I’m planning. I love the large background images, that’s very powerful, especially for a photography site. Nice work!
I really like your Flashlight Theme. You inspired me, seriously. Thanks & Keep it Up
Hey! I just purchased on Themeforest… Unfortunately, I use GoDaddy so I’m having a really hard time installing the custom theme on the WordPress application I’ve installed on my site. If you could point me in any direction it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
This is definitely a better layout than my current photography portfolio.
I believe other website proprietors really should take this website as an model, fairly clean and excellent user genial style and style, also as the content material. You?ˉre an professional in this topic!
This theme is really cool and very elegant! I like it!
