I believe it's a bespoke version of uForum. uForum is available as a package, but doesn't contain all the functionality of our.umbraco. nForum is a different package which may be of interest to you.
I think you have it the wrong way around Hundebol: "nForum is a simple
forum package for Umbraco based on the current our.umbraco.org forum". Our.umbraco was certainly here before nForum :)
uForum is an older forum project which I believe was the basis for our.umbraco - although many of the features (post editing, Karma etc) weren't in uForum. nForum on the other hand is a new project which is aiming to bring about a similar (or even better) feature list to our.umbraco. Correct me if I'm wrong Lee, but that's the gist I get.
Kevin, you might want to look into both uForum and nForum, but I suspect nForum is probably more inline with your requirements if you're aim is to build something like the forum on our.umbraco, because the feature-set at least should be more in line now.
Of course you're right - but it doesn't really change anything for Kevin. (even though i revesed things) :)
He should still go for the nForum
What I should have said: This forum is a very custom made solution, but the newly released nForum has many of the same features as this forum. Therefore, if you want to build yourself a forum like this, your best shot is probably to download the nForum package.
What forum module is the this site using?
This is probabaly a very simple question. Could anybody tell me what forum module is the our.umbraco.org using?
Hi Kevin,

Hope this helps.
Hi Kevin,
This forum is based on nForum, just released a couple of days ago (by Lee): http://our.umbraco.org/projects/website-utilities/nforum
Read the description yourself.
Best regards,

It should be clear now :)
