I found a very beautiful forum and I want to have a forum with the same interface and functions, but I don’t know what theme and plugins it uses. Can someone help me identify them? Thank you very much.

This looks to be:

That should get you quite a way there. Hope this helps!

You are so awesome, you really helped me a lot :star_struck: thank you very very much

Perhaps off topic — but that forum was maybe the slowest load wise what I’ve even seen.

It could come from distances, proxies or something else I can’t even image. But if the reason came from the forum itself, what would be the potential reason? Used font? Amount of images?

The reason to wonder that is quite simple: avoiding the biggest risks, and I’m thinking change fonts :smirking_face:

Or is this impossible question because of lack of data? Or because slowliness (is that even a word) can be a personal thing.

Hmm, I didn’t notice anything out of the ordinary tbh.

Well, then we/I might blame connections. It is not so common issue for me, but not unknown either :man_shrugging:

Those biggest or most common design errors are worth of own topic — here and now such one would be badly off topic. I’ll start new one.

Actually it’s Topic List Previews (TLP) :slight_smile:

Oh sorry haha. In my defense, really similar! :face_with_peeking_eye:

Yeah it’s slow for me too, Firefox tells me it’s due to a slow server response time.

Hello, I have purchased your hosting service. How can I contact you to help me modify the forum theme and functions?:thinking:

I’m a bit confused, whilst I do provide paid consulting services, I do not normally provide a hosting service, where did you purchase hosting?

That said, I can often provide paid help regardless of where you are hosted, depending on the nature of your request and your hosting plan.

I purchased the official hosting service of discourse. Sorry, I mistakenly thought you were the official team. But I’d love to learn about your paid consulting services :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Wow, yes, agree. That’s the slowest Discourse forum I’ve ever seen. I get between 15-20 seconds to reach DOMContentLoaded.
