This forum seems to be more and more used.
I would like to propose to migrate it to Discourse. It is a more modern forum IMO.
https://www.discourse.org
And it seems possible to migrate it https://meta.discourse.org/t/change-fro ... rse/230968
Discourse

Up and up!
Please enfocus, why not make the switch to Discourse? (no pun intended)

Re: Discourse
Could the person at Enfocus who are responsible for this forum please consider switching to Discourse instead of this old bot-swarming forum platform?

Re: Discourse
Still +1 from me.
And would still mention it should be possible to migrate the existing forum.

Re: Discourse
SHOCKER, I've been reading along all this time (insert evil laugh)!
And now seriously... we've been looking into possibilities to improve the forum, including migrating to a different platform. And by "we" I mean my colleage Laurianne, who will become and extra moderator on this forum and myself.
Currently, I don't see a reason to move to discourse. As in:
- We can step up our bot-killing game: stronger captchas, ideally moving user management to Enfocus IDs, only approving accounts manually
- We can explore fluid themes to make this forum mobile-friendly, or get it to work with specialized apps like tapatalk
But that's just my opinion and I built this baby so I'm most probably biased by that. Laurianne is currently making a comparison between systems. Don't know if you can already share something, Laurianne?

I can assure you, the fact that I'm replying on Friday the 13th is merely a coincidence.
