Salut. As avea o sugestie: ar fi interesant că sistemul forumului sa fie schimbat la Discourse, un sistem pentru forum free, open source. Recent, un forum pe care îl vizitam din când în când (Blenderartists) a trecut de la Vbulletin la Discourse. Acestea sunt motivele lor pentru schimbare,  poate se aplică și aici:

Discourse is Real time.
 New replies will automatically appear without reloading the page.

Excellent notifications.

You can subscribe to topics and tags and decide the level of notifications you want to receive for each. Notifications are provided on-site (real-time, of course), as browser notifications (if you’re not on BlenderArtists you can still receive important messages), or through email. Discourse is smart enough not to email you if you’ve already visited the topic.

Mobile device support.

All features work great on your phone and tablet too.

Community moderation.

Discourse gives the community tools to police itself. For example, If enough people flag posts as spam, off-topic or other, they'll be hidden and moved into a moderation queue. All these tools are much more modern and easy to use than in vBulletin, and will result in a ‘cleaner’ experience for everyone. Discourse also has a fantastic 'user level' system, giving users more access as their reputation increases. Top-level users can even earn moderation rights etc. Spammers will have a hard time

Editing posts.

Discourse is based on MarkDown and provides a WYSIYWG editor with a live preview of your final layout. It also makes it much, much easier to embed other media. Just drag images into your post, or add a YouTube, Vimeo or Sketchfab link as you would on any other modern platform.
Solved flag.

 Discourse lets the OP of a topic flag a reply as the solution of his request. This reply will be displayed at the top of the thread, making it easier for future readers to jump directly to the answer. With a clear ‘unsolved’ indicator in the topics list, this also makes it easier to identify which questions still need an answer.

Badges!

 It may sound trivial, but badges can really help 'document' a person's role in the community. Discourse can automatically award badges based on rules or queries, or they can be awarded manually.

Având în vedere că vechiul forum nu mai exista, poate un sistem modern pentru forum ar fi benefic. Ce îmi place la Discourse este că poți vedea cine scrie in topic in timp real, și, de asemenea, postările se fac in timp real.  In cazul unui forum standard, trebuie sa dai refresh că sa vezi noile replici.

Mie mi se pare fff urat layoutul. Se si randeaza greu la scroll (si desktop, si mobile).

Și eu recomand Discourse.

+1.

-1 pentru Discourse, sunt mai traditional de fel si prefer asa. Asta daca nu ne intoarcem cumva la VBulletin, desigur

Intr-o discutie cu Zoso, el recomanda XenForo.

Daca tot discutam liber despre asta, puteti veni cu contraargumente pentru actuala platforma, si argumente pentru platforma pe care o sugerati?

Ce are forumul acum? Merge super rapid și fără probleme. Eu nu înteleg cum trimite notificările încă, probabil la intervale de timp, n-am săpat prin asta, dar nefăcând nimic, uneori vin notificările imediat, uneori după ore bune, chiar și peste 12. Pe mail zic.

Se misca foarte bine forumul. Paginile se incarca rapid, pe vechiul forum uneori abia se incarcau.
