   I've been using this in Chrome for Mac in YouTube for a while. It is in Safari too. Just have to double right click a YouTube video to get the browser menu instead of the YouTube one.

    Based on Google's reputation of maintaining both products and API's I think I will give this a pass.

    I wrote some thoughts on why I think a traditional forum is better than other platforms for some things: https://webwide.io/threads/why-webwide.65/ I'm sure it won't be for everyone and that's fine.

    Such a great idea! Will only get better as it grows. One for the bookmarks.

    I hate Medium with a passion! I totally understand your reservations and I would be the same. Running costs are low and I've enjoyed the forum world for 10+ years so I don't foresee there being any need to undertake any of those

    Good point! Found it difficult to get out all the ideas and features of the platform within the public discussion board system without being intrusive to people who just wanted to lurk. I've made some clearer routes from the landing to

    Hi, sorry! Didn't want to mislead. I am of the impression that not knowing it's all in the open is a bad thing so definitely not something I wanted to hide away. Of course the page was built with conversions in mind, for the good

    Sort of! For starters, Discourse, Flarum & Vanilla all share a similar structure of a single feed of posts organised by tags which is quite different to an "old style" forum where there are individual boards. These kinds of se

    As I say I am no lawyer but will be getting some more personalised advice on wording since we seem to be growing! I hope you can see there are no ill intentions but I understand that it is good to have these things in black and white. Many

    I hope we get a pass with the word. At this stage any revenue made from supporter memberships, the only revenue stream atm, is being funnelled back in to the platform and documented transparently in monthly updates.

    I love it! Forums were my first experiences on the internet and I'm thrilled to be able to share that passion with others now.

    Me neither, the wording is referring to the license to display the content rather than the content itself. I couldn’t go back and check all social posts, newsletters, quoted messages etc. every time somebody edits a post or changes their av

    I longed for an active traditional style board for many reasons. There’s pros and cons to every style of community and they’re all great for different things. A bit down this post I did a pros and cons of Webwide vs. Reddit style, Twitter s

    Great question! XenForo is mature software developed over almost a decade by a great team in the UK. It is unfortunately proprietary and this was a decision making factor when choosing a platform. The only other contender that matched my vi
