What's the name of the software that powers this forum?

Just like most artists, I’m interact with a number of forums for different things. When it comes to user interface and ease of use, this is by far the best, since it has dark mode but most importantly, supports dragging and dropping pictures, so composing a post using screenshots is super easy (those of you who are in the Blackmagic Design forum know what a pain it is to upload even one screenshot there, let alone two or three).

I know the software that powers this forum is not Steinberg’s because I’ve seen it in other forums, perhaps with a different skin, but the functionality is the same.

So I was hoping the admins or anyone who knows the name of the software can tell me so I can try to convince the admins in the other forums I interact with to switch over.

Awesome, thanks!

This software has dark mode? I’ve never seen a setting for it. How?

I have installed the forum as a Chrome web app and it simply takes the mode of the browser. In my case it is dark mode.

I found out how to use this forum via doing the onboarding tutorial.


Dark Mode and other settings are in the user 's Preferences.

  • Click on your user icon (top right)

  • and then on the bottom icon to see your profile

  • and then on “Preferences”

  • and then on “Interface”

  • You may also find it worthwhile to click on the “Show User Tips again” button at the bottom of that page.

Wow. It worked! Thanks so much for going to the trouble. I’m surprised I didn’t notice the feature until now.
