How do I create a discussion forum in RW 8?

[SmythI (Ian Smyth)]

I’m not a hugely experienced web-designer. I’ve made a site for a club that I belong to, and the members want a discussion forum online to share ideas and resources. Can anyone suggest what tools I’d need?

[teefers (Doug Bennett)]

There’s a few options available depending on what you want to be able to do.
Here’s a few I can think of, I’m sure there’s more.

• Stacks4Stacks comment stack for adding simple comments to a stacks page.
• Discourse Forum software (this forum uses) install your self (open source) or hosted.
• Question2Answer free and open source platform for Q&A

One of my favorites for comments is “Backsnap” https://www.yabdab.com/stacks/backsnap

Thanks Doug and Keith - I’ve had a look at your suggestions and I’ll have a go with Stacks4Stacks as I’m getting used to the Stacks general methodology now so it should integrate well with what I’ve already been doing. - Ian.
