Hello, I've recently started trying out Umbraco to develop a website for our company. I'm using version 7.11.1, which I installed from the NuGet package manager (UmbracoCms). So far, everything looks great and we have been able to create a basic site from the sample site provided.
One of the features we would like to add on to the site is a forum that members can post on, as well as have separate forum sections for members who have different member roles.
I am interested to know what kind of packages are available that add in a Forum feature to a Umbraco site. I've seen at least two options, those being Dialogue and SimplyForums, but both of those seem like they are a bit out of date (I tried adding the Dialogue package to the project, but got an error).
Is there a Forum package available that is compatible with Umbraco 7.11? I would prefer something with capabilities similar to Dialogue, but if we need to we can work with a package that doesn't include as many features.
We are also looking for a forum to integrate into our 7.12.4 umbraco site. Where you able to get Dialogue to work or did you find another forum to use?
it is not just a forum :). but still, that can cover this you posted as a demand "that members can post on, as well as have separate forum sections for members who have different member roles."

Hi Matthew
Try Articulate - https://our.umbraco.com/projects/starter-kits/articulate/

Thanks Alex, I'll give it a try
It looks like Articulate is designed for creating a Blog page. Is there a built in way to convert the Blog design into a Forum design?
Hi Matthew
Sorry, I suggested the wrong package, of course, Articulate is a blog, try "Dialogue" :

Hi Matthew,

Thanks, Pat
Hi Matthew,
you can look and play with Uintra https://our.umbraco.com/packages/collaboration/uintra/
it is not just a forum :). but still, that can cover this you posted as a demand "that members can post on, as well as have separate forum sections for members who have different member roles."
Kind regards, Vadym
