Unequaled user experience.
Vanilla makes it dead-easy for users to find what matters to them, protect their content, and present themselves and their ideas to the world.
Vanilla remembers everything you've seen, always keeping you up to date with which discussions have new content. Forget about remembering which page you were on, Vanilla puts you right where you stopped reading the last time you were in a discussion.
Vanilla hosts a free service called VanillIcon.com that generates cool looking, totally unique icons for users who have not uploaded profile pictures. Vanillicon's help a dreary, image-less community come to life! Vanilla also integrates with Gravatar.
User can mention each other in discussions by writing an "@" before a username. Mentioned users are notified so they can quickly jump into the discussion.
Users can preview their comments in real time right in the page, and they can edit their existing comments right in the page as well.
Vanilla auto-saves your content as you are entering it so that you can close the window on purpose or by accident, and your hard work will not be lost.
Vanilla detects when comments contain urls to YouTube and we embed the related video right into the comment automatically.
Every member gets a profile that they can customize with their personal information. It serves as a place where they can catch up on their discussions, comments, reputation, reactions, badges, abilities, and much more.
