Migrating the forum to Discourse
EEVblog:
--- Quote from: SiliconWizard on March 29, 2020, 07:10:00 pm ---There is one small thing that I see could be improved (and is probably not too hard to do) is easier inclusion of images in posts. Currently if you're attaching images in a post, you have to go some extra manual steps to include them in the post itself, and not just as small thumbnails at the end.

This is one thing I love about Zenforo, you just CTRL-V paste the image inline in the post, it's awesome.

The UI is customizable. great community support. Ease of install and management. good performance. Written in a solid language. open source. It's considered the de-facto standard nowadays.

And it's shit to use and completely unsuitable for replacing an existing bbs style community forum.

Really. So many of us have put a lot of content here - repair threads and pics to go with those threads. So many tips that are not found in very many places out there. It would be a tragedy if something went wrong. I know you understand that! :-+

NO! If you want a better theme for mobile, just ask about that.
EEVblog forum works very well as it is now.
Let's not ruin it for buzzwords and glitter.

I have seen it being asked many years ago, popping up many times since there, and never ended up anywhere. I've been following the forum since it's inception a decade ago.

A few people have asked for an EEVblog Discord, and there is actually one. But one has ever asked to replace this forum with discord until your post, because most people realise what a dumb idea that would be.

If you manage it right, it's impossible to lose the existing forum.
