Big thumbs up for push notifications. We’re currently trialling Discourse to replace PhpBB for CAMRA (170,000 members) and I’ve been a fan of Discourse - having used StackExchange for years.

The single biggest requirement for the replacement system is so smartphone and tablet friendly but Discourse isn’t sadly ticking all the boxes. It’s better than PhpBB but maybe not enough for us to recommend ☹
