Question about the board

[Bennylava]

Is this forum using the Discourse forum software? To me it looks like discourse, but modified. Not sure as forum software really isn't my bag. But I was hoping to learn because I'm considering starting one for my local area. Thought it might be fun. Thank you

I thought it was ZenForo, but definitely not an expert.

Thanks I'll check out Zenforo. Looks like it may be Xenforo though.

But yeah this is a really nice looking website.

here are two other zenforo sites which tend to be close to "out of the box" boards.

The Building Code Forum

The second one is relatively new and the administrator seemed to have it up and running within days of starting.

It looks like this is part of it, but maybe this company just modified Xenforo (zenforo?) for them. I've noticed this forum has a pretty unique look to it.

You can that link at the bottom of every page on this site. Sent them an email. The Ford Mustang site for my local area is dying due to mismanagement, and it used to be such a great place. Maybe I can rectify that. And I love message boards so maybe it will be fun.

I believe zenforo is indeed highly customizable. I use to participate in one that was hardly recognizable but worked very well. That canoe tripping board was a change from a non zenforo board and the admin was able to import the entire posting history. Impressive, at least to a non-software person.

Just to clarify, there's a difference between "Zenforo" and Xenforo, right? I noticed you were spelling it differently so I thought it best to ask.

I meant XenForo in all instances above. Sorry. Brain fart.

here's what my spell checker returned for xenforo:
