We’re happy to announce that the community platform upgrade to the latest version of Discourse.org has been successfully completed.
Over the past several days, our team performed the core software upgrade, followed by extensive cleanup tasks, interface adjustments, configuration reviews, and post-upgrade validation to ensure everything is operating smoothly.
This update brings major improvements introduced by the Discourse platform over the past few years, including:
- A redesigned and more intuitive navigation.
- Improved mobile experience and faster page interactions.
- Enhanced notifications, bookmarks, and topic discovery tools along with a new filtering tool.
- New trending and “Hot Topics” features.
- Expanded moderation, reporting, and community management tools.
- Improved security, performance, and overall platform reliability.
- Better calendar, events, and reminder integrations.
- Modernized user interface refinements across desktop and mobile.
- Expanded Reactions support for posts.
- Voting ability for supported categories and topics.
In addition to visible improvements, many backend optimizations and security updates were included to improve the long-term stability and responsiveness of the community platform.
As with any major platform upgrade, some visual elements, cached content, themes, plugins, or custom settings may continue adjusting over the next several days. You may occasionally notice small interface changes while final refinements are completed.
If you encounter anything unusual, please let us know by posting in the Feedback category.
Thank you again for your patience and support while we completed this major upgrade.
