We are just a couple days away from releasing Active Social 1.5 and Active Forums 4.2.  One of the main goals for this release was to make the setup process for Active Social even easier.  We want you to have your site up and running quickly; not overwhelm you with dozens of module options.  

The Quick Start Wizard will provide you with 3 options: Simple, Standard and Expert.  If you select Simple or Standard everything will be configured for you.  This includes creating the appropriate pages, adding the modules to the page, configuring the necessary settings and even configuring Active Forums. 

This gives you the ability to have Active Social completely installed and ready to use with just 4 mouse clicks.   Now a process that could easily take 20 minutes, not counting reading the documentation, can be done in less than 5 minutes.
