We are moving forward with Discourse as we found someone who can do the migration from MySql to PostgresSQL. Now I am gathering apps that I will need to create a local staging instance of the new forums where I will re-style it to match our current site. It is not user friendly by any means. This is for seasoned developers in my opinion. I run Windows 10 but have to create a Virtual Machine in order to run this. Unfortunately, I am a designer not a developer. I appreciate the documentation linked above so I can figure this all out.
