> I find that any traditional forum software works better than discourse. For example I cannot properly see when exactly a reply was written, because it abstacts from a simple timestamp and shows only a month and year for example. Yes, I agree. I like the FluxBB based forum that Arch community uses and find the look & feel a good balance between excessive use of whitespace and overly cramped UIs. > No JS no joy. You see a completely white page, because none of it works without JS, not even an indication can be seen, that JS is required and it is waaay off of anything having a non JS fallback. I am not sure if this is configurable but the official kotlin forum [1] uses discourse and I can see the content when js is disabled. A lot of interactivity is disabled but the footer does have a clear message that the site is best viewed with js enabled. I have often found kotlin forum posts through google search, so there doesn't seem to be any issue on the SEO front. [1] https://discuss.kotlinlang.org https://discuss.kotlinlang.org
