Completely Off Topic: Forum Software

Yeah, this is way off topic :grinning:

I help a friend run a large BBQ forum and he is looking for a new platform. What forum software is this forum using? I like the UI and want him to consider it.

Thanks!

Thanks for the quick reply! I’ll have him look at it. He’s currently running an old version of vBulletin that is no longer supported.

So, what’s the BBQ forum ?
I’m always looking to explore new ones.

Ahh, OK, I have an account there. :slightly_smiling_face:

The forum uses Discourse. It’s a solid choice because it’s modern, sleek, and really user-friendly. A lot of communities go for it because you can tweak it quite a bit to suit your needs, and it works great on both desktop and mobile.

If your friend is thinking about custom-building something unique for the BBQ forum, there’s a really helpful guide over at https://www.crispysoftwaresolutions.com/post/how-to-build-software-from-scratch-complete-guide-tips. It breaks down the steps of building software from the ground up, which could be super useful if they decide to go that route.
