Version 5 for mooSocial 3.1 has been released. Please download at client area https://moosocial.com/my-account/. Make sure you backup your site and test at development site before upgrading production site.
And I'll tell you how I came to this conclusion:
I do not particularly like wordpress, it's a very good product, but I find it too heavy and too difficult to maintain.
That's why I chose moo.. easier, simpler and equally powerful in almost all cases.
But I have to use a little wordpress because I have friends who want simple sites, one or two pages, a contact form, and can not specifically paid.

So as wordpress is free it's ok, except that it's a gas plant, especially with themes.
One month ago I read a comment in a blog, it talks about the story of a guy, who made a wordpress theme builder, and his theme was so successful that this guy stop his work to open his own compagnie and dedicate it entirely to his builder.
In front of so much praise I decide to take a look, I told myself "what is this thing still a gas plant like the other themes builder divi etc ...? "
I had a shock! Ohlalala ..simple, light, and I can do all what I want, and you know my level eh, I am null in css!
But in fact I do not need to know css, I do not have to go change words in files, all, absolutely all is configurable in admin in the full version .
With his builder I visualize my page in my head and I reproduce it without problem live.
And as author is focused on improving his builder, his product is close to perfection!
So ... relationship with moo?
This makes me think of our concerns here with themes and personalisation, discussions about "free the layout editor" and somme others, and to all beautiful thing that we could do if we had such a tool available under mooSocial.
With that, we make practically all the current themes of moo ..
But I think also to you and how to fix it, and for you it's a lot easier to maintain and this is a very important point.
A unique product, 100% customizable = 100% happy users
we also have a theme builder in admin except that it is not finished or more developed.
We can imagine that with development time, you can improve it and add premium options in this part.
The light version would be the default moo theme and the premium version would be the full and fully customizable version
Or something like that, it's up to you to see.
Mark I thought more about a native solution, included in moo and not a plugin.
But a good plugin is good too
Wix is a good example you're right, his success is actually due to his simplicity
---
I tried to donwload latest version of moobuck to see if I have same problem as Eric at my test site, but ..archive is coorupted, i cant' unzip it !
Donwload 3 times , unzip fail, donwlaod previous verion work fine
Eric I forget, I installed it, I did not have the same problems as you with groups.
At my site group was not active, so I have actived it and I could create groups without problems.
I tell you that, maybe it helps to disable / enable groups plugin I do not know.
Mark Unfortunately I can not use it The editor for groups, events and so on is not loaded correctly
once again really well thrown out money and Mooplus is not refreshed again
Mark what do you thing about the fact that themes do not take advantage of lates moo improvements.?
For example all that has been improved in Event, is not visible with the latest version of moobuck
