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

What does Enfocus say to this suggestion?

Up and up!

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

I do not think anyone from Enfocus reads this thread :)

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

Still +1 from me.

And would still mention it should be possible to migrate the existing forum.

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.
