Discourse. Plenty of plugins and customisation to play about with. Self hosted, too.

Can check it out at discourse.gamerstavern.online if you like.

    Thanks but no. I use it on another forum but it is rather fussy about which browser you use.

    ...is it? Even on PWA? I've used Vivaldi, Safari, Zen and Firefox with no trouble (and on Desktop variants too)

    Yeah, wants Firefox not a more cotrollable fork, spits its dummy out at certain adblocker settings, doesn't like privacy lists loaded into chromium, and so on. It seems fussy, probably because it's quite snoopy and sends tracking info back to the server as you read posts.
