Facebook has no direct user support even for legal issues.

I agree. While there are many communities which benefit from feature rich forum software I'd argue strongly there many others that don't. There are multiple features just within this editor that never get used here or anyway else that I've seen. People, particularly those posting from smart...

I'm hanging on for a car analogy. There's always a car analogy when it comes to software development.

Interestingly Discourse has just laid off quite a large number of staff. They appear to be cutting costs at a time when take up of the paid product looks quite healthy. https://blog.discourse.org/2025/12/our-commitment-to-your-ongoing-success-with-discourse/

Indeed. I was referring to the revenue stream. The Cloud brings in a regular flow of cash whereas the self-hosted version probably not so much right now.

I certainly agree that it would have been better to have made a number of small releases rather than attempt to save everything up for one mega patch. Tiptap at the very least should have been a priority release.

Perhaps they are dining out (so to speak) on a steady income from the Cloud and can afford financially to take their time working on the next release.

That's not how I read it. I saw it as @Stuart Wright asking for opinions from other addon providers and given the international sanctions against that region it's a sensible ask imo.

According to the BBC... Cloudflare said the "significant outage" occurred after a configuration file designed to handle threat traffic did not work as intended and "triggered a crash" in its software handling traffic for its wider services. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c629pny4gl7o

Cloudflare are describing it as 'an internal service degradation that may intermittently impact some services' which has got to be understatement of the year. Security experts are claiming privacy risks are involved although I'm not really sure how.

I don't use Cloudflare. My sites reside on a pretty robust server that has had no reported downtime except for what was planned in more years than I can remember. I also don't have issues with performance or DDOS/bot attacks so Cloudflare really has nothing to offer me. As an (impatient)...

Indeed but there would be a riot if it ever got changed.

Although I'm not a huge advocate of threaded platforms, they seemed well suited to DPreview. To an extent it's what you get used to, https://forums.thinkbroadband.com/ being another example where threaded replies seems to suit well. It's ugly but it works. I can understand why DPreview have...

I would get a quote from @MySiteGuy
